Premium flower-focused powerhouse from legendary genetics
Strain Overview
**Pinnacle** is a legendary clone-only strain that represents the pinnacle of balanced hybrid breeding. By crossing the soaring cerebral effects of **Blue Dream** with the deep, grounding body stone of **Hindu Kush**, breeders created a strain that offers the best of both worlds. This is a flower-focused cultivar, meaning it excels as a smokeable product with exceptional bag appeal, terpene retention, and smooth consumption characteristics.

Pinnacle inherits a complex terpene profile that blends sweet berry notes from Blue Dream with the earthy, spicy character of Hindu Kush. The result is a harmonious aroma that's both inviting and sophisticated.
Growing Pinnacle
Pinnacle is a moderately challenging strain that rewards attentive growers with dense, resinous flowers. The Blue Dream genetics provide vigorous vegetative growth and stretch, while Hindu Kush contributes to compact bud structure and resilience to environmental stress.

Nutrient ManagementModerate feeder; avoid overfeeding during late flower to preserve terpene profile
-
Training MethodsResponds well to topping, LST, and SCROG for maximizing canopy space
-
TemperatureKeep temps 68-78°F during flower; slight night drop enhances resin production
-
Harvest TimingMonitor trichomes closely; harvest at 10-20% amber for balanced effects
Pinnacle thrives with a proper dry and cure. Aim for 60°F and 60% RH during the dry phase, then cure for at least 4 weeks to fully develop the complex berry-kush aroma that makes this strain exceptional.
Flower Quality & Characteristics
Pinnacle is a **flower-focused strain** designed for top-shelf smokeable consumption. The buds are dense and coated in a thick layer of resinous trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, silvery appearance. The trichomes are sticky and oil-rich, creating excellent shelf stability and long-lasting aroma retention when properly cured.
The flower's sticky, oily trichomes are best preserved with gentle handling during trimming and curing. This ensures the complex berry-kush aroma remains intact for months after harvest.

The Blue Dream influence provides an initial cerebral uplift and creative energy, while the Hindu Kush lineage gradually brings in a deep body relaxation that's grounding without being sedating.
