Where 3 In The Pink Comes From
Exotic Genetix is a Tacoma, Washington breeder, and both Leafly and Seedfinder credit them with this cross. Leafly names Pink Cookies as the mother and Triple OG as the father. Seedfinder lists the same pairing with a “probably” qualifier, and says it was never offered as feminized seed.
Seedfinder traces Triple OG to OG Kush and Hindu Kush, and Pink Cookies to Triangle Mints. One cannabis blog says the parentage is Triple OG with “Pink 2.0”, but that is a single, generic source, so we are not relying on it.
3 In The Pink Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly describes a strong, relaxing high with a noticeable body buzz, and readers report creative, euphoric and uplifted feelings early on. AllBud calls it a slightly indica-dominant hybrid, around 60% indica, and Seedfinder lists it at 60/40 indica.
Most descriptions place it as an evening or nightcap strain. The Leafly sample is small, only six ratings, so treat the details as anecdotes. With THC reported at 19% to 26%, newer users should go slow.
3 In The Pink Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Leafly describes a spicy, herbal and citrus terpene profile, and its flavor tags run berry, earthy and tropical, with some reviewers noting floral and candy notes. Myrcene is the leading terpene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene.
The buds are described as compact and rich green with a pink hue, which is where the name comes from.
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Pinene: fresh pine, also found in pine needles and rosemary
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.

Growing 3 In The Pink
- Flowering: 8–9 weeks (56–63 days)
- Yield: Heavy, per Seedfinder
- Environment: Indoor, outdoor or greenhouse
Seedfinder lists a flowering time of 56 to 63 days and a heavy yield, and says it suits indoor, outdoor or greenhouse growing. It was never released as feminized seed, so growers working from regular seed need to sort males out.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients.
