Pink Unicorn (Med)

Pink Unicorn (Med) is indica-labelled flower from a Riot Seeds cross: the breeder paired Purple Unicorn, a Bodhi Seeds strain, with Blood Rose, one of its own, as our Pink Unicorn strain guide reports from SeedFinder.

Bred by Riot Seeds with colour in mind

In our guide, Steven De Guzman points out that Riot made the cross to boost colour, so pink and purple tints are worth looking for. AllBud describes spade-shaped buds in mint green that carry vivid pink undertones and orange hairs under a heavy frost of white trichomes with a pink tint. AllBud adds that the name nods both to that look and to the strain’s parentage.

Sharp citrus that burns earthy and sour

Split a bud and, by AllBud’s account, sharp lemon and lime come out over a spicy, woody note; once lit, the smell shifts to earthy and sour. The flavour, per AllBud, is citrusy with a light spice, finishing on sour lemon and lime when exhaled, and its tags add pine and herbal notes. Steven’s advice is to open a bud by hand before it goes into the grinder, so the citrus can be smelled first.

Cerebral, focused and sometimes giggly

AllBud’s description of the high is a cerebral rush bringing euphoria and motivation along with sharp focus, which may turn giggly as it grows; overall it calls the strain lifted and energized. Euphoria, focus, giggly and uplifting make up its effect tags, and 26 votes on AllBud average 4.7. On AllBud the strain is a sativa dominant hybrid, 75% to 25% in sativa’s favour, and our guide also calls it sativa-leaning. What an indica label does and does not promise is the subject of our type-label guide.

AllBud’s THC range for Pink Unicorn is 15% to 23%. For smoked flower, Health Canada‘s lower-risk page sets the opening amount at 1 or 2 puffs, and the product it has in mind carries 10% THC or less; inhaled effects, it adds, show within seconds to minutes yet can take half an hour to peak.
