Pisthash T.H. Seeds is a slightly indica-dominant feminised cannabis seed strain that crosses Biscotti with French Macaron to deliver dense, resin-soaked buds with nutty pistachio and almond notes. Bred in Amsterdam by one of the original Dutch seed banks, this Gelato hybrid takes 8–9 weeks to flower and yields 500–600g/m² indoors. Buy Pisthash T.H. Seeds if you want a beginner-friendly, ScrOG-ready, properly stinky Gelato cross that's genuinely different from the gas-heavy crowd.
Why grow Pisthash from T.H. Seeds
Pisthash earns its spot in your tent because it pairs heavyweight Gelato genetics with grow traits that forgive mistakes. The Biscotti side brings the dense bud structure and resin production you'd expect from a top-shelf indica Gelato descendent, while French Macaron — one of T.H. Seeds' flagship hybrids — adds vigour, branching, and that creamy, pastry-shop terpene profile. T.H. Seeds has been operating out of Amsterdam since 1993, and Pisthash is the kind of strain that shows why they're still here.
The smell is the headline. Crack a jar a few weeks into cure and you get roasted pistachio, sweet almond, and a kushy hash-like undertone with cream pulling it all together. It's the sort of bag that gets passed around the table twice before anyone bothers rolling. The honest limitation: she's a stinker in flower. Without a carbon filter, your neighbours will know what you're up to by week 5. According to EMCDDA data on cannabis cultivation trends in the Netherlands, demand for terpene-distinct hybrids like this has climbed steadily since 2022.
Pisthash seed pack guide — 3 or 6 seeds?
Order the 3-pack if you're testing the strain or running a small tent; pick the 6-pack if you're filling a 1m² scrog or want backups.
| Pack | SKU | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 3 feminised seeds | CSTS0071 | Single-plant grows, 60x60 tents, first run to dial her in |
| 6 feminised seeds | CSTS0055 | ScrOG setups, 1m² tents, pheno hunting, outdoor backups |
Feminised seeds mean no males to cull — every plant flowers. We'd grab the 6-pack if you've got the space, because Pisthash responds so well to training that filling a screen with 4 plants gives you the fattest yields.

How Pisthash compares to other T.H. Seeds Gelato hybrids
Pisthash is the shortest-flowering and most beginner-friendly of T.H. Seeds' Gelato-leaning trio, while French Macaron offers more vigour and Buzzle leans gassier. Here's the honest read from the breeder's own data.
| Strain | Lineage | Flowering | Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pisthash | Biscotti x French Macaron | 8–9 weeks | Nutty, creamy, hashy — beginner-friendly |
| French Macaron | T.H. Seeds flagship hybrid | 9 weeks | Sweet pastry, vigorous, the parent strain |
| Buzzle | T.H. Seeds hybrid | ~9 weeks | Gassy, creamy, mostly indica |
Pisthash sits in the sweet spot: shorter than pure sativas, resilient enough for first-time growers, with a terpene profile that's genuinely different from the gas/fuel chorus you get from most Gelato crosses.
How to grow Pisthash — step by step
Pisthash grows in eight clear stages, from germination through a 10–14 day dry and a 3-week minimum cure. Follow these steps for the cleanest run.
- Germinate using the paper towel method or straight into a small rockwool cube. Expect tails within 24–72 hours.
- Transplant into your final medium once the taproot is 1–2cm. Pisthash grows happily in soil, coco, or hydro.
- Veg for 3–5 weeks indoors. Top once or twice at the 4th node to encourage lateral branching — she responds beautifully to topping.
- Apply LST during late veg to flatten the canopy. For ScrOG, fit the screen at the start of week 4 and weave branches through as they stretch.
- Flip to 12/12. Stretch lasts roughly 2–3 weeks; she'll finish at 120–160cm depending on veg length and pot size.
- Feed moderately — Pisthash isn't a heavy feeder, and overfeeding will mute those nutty terpenes.
- Watch for ripening trichomes from week 7. Harvest at 8–9 weeks when 10–20% of trichomes have turned amber.
- Dry slowly at 18–20°C and 55–60% humidity for 10–14 days, then cure in jars for at least 3 weeks. Pisthash genuinely improves with age — the nutty notes deepen month over month.
Complete your setup: pair these seeds with a 80x80 grow tent kit and a carbon filter — Pisthash is fragrant enough that going filterless isn't really an option. Get a pH meter and a basic bloom nutrient line to round out the kit for first-time growers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pisthash a good strain for beginners?
Yes. Pisthash is one of the more forgiving strains in the T.H. Seeds catalogue thanks to its resilient genetics, moderate height (120–160cm), and predictable 8–9 week flowering window. She handles minor feeding mistakes and training errors better than most Gelato crosses.
What does Pisthash smell and taste like?
Roasted pistachio and sweet almond up front, with kushy hash undertones and a creamy finish. The aroma deepens noticeably after a 3–4 week cure, which is unusual — most strains peak and fade, but Pisthash gets richer with age.
How tall does Pisthash grow indoors?
Between 120 and 160cm depending on pot size, veg length, and training. In a 1m² tent with a 15L pot and three weeks of veg, expect around 130–140cm at harvest. Topping and LST keep her well within most home-grow setups.
Can I run Pisthash in a ScrOG setup?
Absolutely — she's practically built for it. Her branching pattern and moderately spaced internodes let light penetrate the canopy fully, so even lower bud sites develop into proper colas. Fit your screen at the start of week 4 of veg.
What's the difference between the 3-seed and 6-seed pack?
Just quantity — both are feminised seeds from the same genetics. The 3-pack (SKU CSTS0071) suits single-plant or small-tent grows; the 6-pack (SKU CSTS0055) is better for ScrOG, pheno hunting, or filling a 1m² canopy.
How should I store Pisthash seeds?
Cool, dark, and dry. A sealed container in the fridge at 4–8°C keeps feminised seeds viable for years. Avoid temperature swings and condensation — pop them in a small ziplock with a silica sachet before refrigerating.
