Stoney Girl Gardens
The puzzle of the enigmatically named Crippled Pit, also known
as “Crippit,” is solved when you realize that it takes one name
from each of its parents. “Crippled” comes from the Crippled
Rhino mother strain, a cross of the Cannabis Cup winner,
White Rhino, and a Crippler Chocolate Thai from Seattle. The
“Pit” comes from the “Pit Bull” father strain, a combination of a
P-91 female from southern California and Stoney Girl’s Sugar
Plum strain, the 2003 winner of the Oregon Medical Cannabis
Award for Indica.
Bringing these indica-strong winners together in the Crippled
Pit has produced a plant that grows like a champ outside as
well as indoors. This plant forms a classic umbrella and sports
huge leaves and big chunky buds. While indicas are typically
short, squat, and bushy plants, the outdoor Crippled Pit plant
can easily grow into an 8-foot giant, depending on how the
plant is vegetated. Crippit will also gladly grow indoors, giving
off a powerful floral smell throughout flowering. Using organics
for soil and fertilizer offers great support for maximizing flavor
and yields. In climates where the night air turns cools just as
fall harvest time approaches, the leaves darken to purple. In
more constant climates, the plants will stay green throughout.
Indicas, originally hailing from more temperate regions, are
often quicker in their development through the flowering cycle,
and Crippit plants are no exception. This variety finishes in
about 5 weeks and produces a satisfying yield. When smoked
or vaporized, this strain is a strong starter out of the gate and
induces a dreamy state of stoniness with a calm, but steady
energetic vibration. It has been known to work well for nausea
and offers some strong medicinal qualities. Those who try
Crippled Pit notice its highly desirable balance of flavors. It hits
a Thai top note and a Hawaiian base flavor, with an earthy
sweet tone that never gets too saccharine. The big leaves churn
out some nice bubble hash, too.
