Platinum Pink

Leafly and AllBud both put Platinum Pink at 90% indica and 10% sativa, and it is sold here as indica flower in five weights: 1 g, 3.5 g, 7 g, 14 g and 28 g.

PPK and its Pink Kush parent

AllBud records two other names for the strain, Platinum Pink Kush and PPK. Both sites trace it to Pink Kush: in AllBud’s account, Pink Kush was crossed with a second indica-dominant hybrid, and Leafly groups the result with its hybrids. How much a 90/10 split predicts is the question our guide to type labels takes up.

Grape-shaped buds with pink-tinted frost

AllBud describes dense, oversized nuggets shaped like grapes, forest green with deep undertones, laced with fine pinkish-orange hairs and coated in a thick, frosty layer of tiny white trichomes tinted pink. On Leafly, one reviewer calls the buds beautiful, and another mentions hints of pink inside some nugs.

Sour lemon, berry and earth

By AllBud’s account, breaking a nug open releases floral, sour-lemon and earthy herb scents that grow sweeter the further it is pulled apart. AllBud describes the flavour as sweet, fruity berry with lemony sour-candy notes and a little earth, and its aroma tags run from berry and citrus to fragrant, fruity and herbal. Leafly’s flavour tags are cheese, berry and pungent. One AllBud reviewer picked up a gassy aroma with citrus and earthy undertones, and tastes of orange, lime, gas and dank. One customer’s review opens with “Great aroma, clean burn”.

Reported effects and THC from 20% to 28%

On Leafly, the top reported feelings are energetic, creative and euphoric; some reviewers also tag hungry, relaxed and happy, and the strain holds 4.8 from 4 ratings there. Body high, relaxing, happy, uplifting and euphoria appear among AllBud’s effect tags. In AllBud’s write-up, the high builds slowly in waves before settling into a lifted, warming euphoria with head-to-toe relaxation, and AllBud users rate it 4.6 from 27 votes.

Leafly puts THC at about 20%, higher than the average strain on the site, while AllBud gives 26% to 28%. Health Canada‘s lower-risk tips begin at 1 or 2 puffs, with THC kept to 10% or under, and allow up to half an hour for inhaled effects to peak.
