2 In The Pink by Riot Seeds
2 In The Pink is a modern craft hybrid developed by Riot Seeds, a breeder recognized for creating strains with bold, candy-forward profiles and high resin content. This cultivar emerged during a period when consumers favored dessert-like hybrids with balanced effects, and Riot Seeds responded by focusing on dense trichome production and intricate aromas.
Appearance
The flowers of 2 In The Pink are typically medium-dense, often shaped like golf balls or slightly elongated cones. They feature tightly stacked calyxes, a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, and are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. Pistils can exhibit warm peach or pink hues, and cooler nighttime temperatures during late flower can enhance anthocyanin expression, leading to lavender and pink shades on the leaves and calyx edges.
Aroma & Flavor
Upon breaking apart the buds, an initial aroma of berry candy and sugared citrus is released, followed by softer floral and vanilla notes. A subtle earth and diesel undertone provides balance without overpowering the sweetness. Some describe a clean, almost soapy or linen-like facet, gentler than similar notes found in other strains. Curing refines this profile, preserving citrus and floral notes while mellowing the diesel aspect.
Effects
This hybrid is noted for providing a balanced high that is present but manageable, avoiding overly racy or sedative sensations. It is associated with a creative lift, making it suitable for various activities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages are not widely published, the aroma profile suggests the presence of terpenes such as Limonene, which contributes citrus notes, and Linalool, associated with floral scents. Beta-Caryophyllene likely adds a spicy, peppery undertone, while Humulene may contribute to the earthy notes. THC content typically ranges from 20-23%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Riot Seeds, the exact parentage of 2 In The Pink is not widely disclosed by the breeder, a common practice for boutique breeders to protect their work. However, its expressed traits suggest a hybrid lineage possibly incorporating influences from dessert-forward genetics like Cookies or Gelato, combined with a backbone from OG or Chem families. The breeder aimed to create a cultivar with a candy-floral aroma, high resin production, and balanced effects, fitting into the contemporary market's demand for visually appealing and aromatically complex strains.
Growing
2 In The Pink is noted for its adaptable indoor performance and structured growth. It responds well to techniques like topping and trellising, forming an even canopy. The buds are moderately dense, which helps reduce the risk of botrytis. Its high resin production is a significant trait, beneficial for both flower enthusiasts and extractors.
