Stoney Girl Gardens
The indica-dominant Pit Bull strain begins with a trade: some
P-91 seed from the university professor who created the P-91
strain. Stoney Girl was told that this strain was the
government’s latest G-13. P-91 came from a program at a
university in Southern California that supposedly did not exist.
This grandfather of the Pit Bull’s paternal side was crossed
with Stoney Girl’s own Berkeley Blues to become a strain
called Sugar Plum. Sugar Plum, an award winner that placed
first in the 2003 Oregon medical cannabis awards, is Pit Bull’s
father. The Pit Bull mother, simply referred to as P-91, is a
cross from Southern California, consisting of a G-13 mother
crossed with Bull Rider.
As the name suggests, Pit Bull is a rugged, tenacious strain.
The plants are vibrant, vigorous, and mite resistant. Don’t
mistake this stubborn determination for rigidity. Pit Bull is very
pliable and obedient. She performs well in any environment
and has great yields in any arrangement from a hydro closet to
an outdoor farm. The Pit Bull plant is branchy with close nodes.
When allowed to grow free, she forms a giant spherical bush
that blooms with buds on every branch. A quick plant, she
finishes flowering in an average of 6 weeks or mid-September
outdoors when planted in June, even in the temperate climes of
the Pacific Northwest. It is a bush indoors and a giant tower
out.
During flowering, Pit Bull jumps right into action, forming
open blooms covered in crystals during the first 2 weeks. The
buds are large thick spheres covered in pom-pom hairs and
oozing crystals. Buds have a medium density that is neither
airy nor popcorn textured, but also not rock hard. The Pit Bull
sugar leaves have so much crystal on them that they tend to
curl. The fan leaves are large and wide and look like maple
leaves. Pit Bull stays bright green unless it gets chilly in the
garden—then she turns purple. The bases of the leaves are a
passion purple. The branches are bright green with violet
stripes highlighting the ribs.
The Pit Bull’s hardiness and instinct for survival make it an
ideal strain for the beginner, but the qualities will satisfy more
elite tastes and impress on special occasions. The buzz is a
heavy hitter that won’t be a top choice for the occasional
recreational user, but is well suited to medicinal use or for
experienced tokers. There is a body blissfulness and a heady
intense mental component that can feel a bit like a gong has
been rung inside the brain. Pit Bull is thoughtful and trippy, if a
bit distracted at its height. The taste and smell profiles are
complex and maintain flavors throughout, including a fresh
grapefruit citrus with honey, hash, and a pungent sweet
tropical bass
