Summary / Suitability
King BX3 #3 “Pink Pistol” is a heritage Indica powerhouse — compact, high-yielding, and visually unique. As the original mother of Pink Kush, she embodies the heavy potency, rich resin, and vibrant character that define classic West Coast genetics.
Ideal for indoor and outdoor growers, breeders, extract artists, and collectors seeking a piece of cannabis history with both visual flair and serious punch.
Genetic Background
King, a pure Indica believed to descend from a Pakistani landrace and once held by bikers on the Pacific West Coast, was gifted to Charles “Reeferman” Scott and later became the mother of the Canadian legend Pink Kush.
King BX3 #3, affectionately known as “Pink Pistol,” is Scott’s refined version — selected for its vivid pink pistils and stabilized through three generations of backcrossing. A cornerstone of the West Coast era, this line is celebrated for its heavy fuel aroma, dense resin production, and unforgettable color expression.
Plant Characteristics
A sturdy, true Indica with short internodes and broad, dark leaves. King BX3 #3 maintains a low, stocky structure ideal for indoor cultivation or discreet outdoor gardens. Despite her compact form, she delivers exceptionally heavy yields, producing thick, resinous colas crowned with the vivid pink pistils that define this line.
Flower Characteristics
Dense, trichome-rich buds display striking pink pistils against deep green foliage. The aroma is sharp and gassy with a soft floral sweetness beneath. Exceptional resin coverage makes this variety a prime choice for hash and extract production.
Growing Tips
Indoor: Low stretch and tight structure make her easy to manage in limited spaces. Light training such as topping or LST helps open the canopy. Maintain bloom temperatures around 22–26 °C, with slightly cooler nights to enhance pink coloration. Finishes in ~75–84 days.
Outdoor: A sturdy and resilient performer outdoors. Its compact size allows for tight spacing in containers or greenhouse setups. Due to the exceptionally dense buds, there is a slight risk of botrytis in humid conditions. Prune lower growth to improve airflow and direct energy upward, and protect plants from heavy rain late in the season. Harvest typically falls in the late autumn window.
Effects & Potency
As the genetic foundation of Pink Kush, King BX3 #3 delivers a deep, full-body Indica experience — sedative, relaxing, and long-lasting. Reported THC levels of 20–25 % produce the classic couch-lock calm associated with elite West Coast Indicas, offering soothing relief and tranquility.
