Da Mask
Also known as: Da Mask OG, Mask OG
Da Mask Strain Overview
Da Mask is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a potent, flavorful hybrid with balanced effects. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, it is generally accepted as a carefully selected phenotype from a larger breeding project involving OG Kush genetics. The strain gained popularity in medical and recreational markets for its reliable effects and distinctive aromatic profile.
Da Mask plants typically display characteristics common to OG Kush descendants, with dense, resinous buds that often exhibit a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome production. The flowers are usually medium to dark green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the compact bud structure, creating visual contrast. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and the 'masking' effect some users report, where the cerebral and physical effects seem to balance each other.
Notable features of Da Mask include its complex terpene profile and consistent growth patterns. The strain has maintained popularity among cultivators for its manageable growth characteristics and among consumers for its predictable effects. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Da Mask has established a niche following in certain cannabis markets, particularly among users seeking balanced hybrid experiences with moderate to high potency.

Da Mask Strain Growing Information
Da Mask is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for branches during late flowering due to heavy bud development. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training.
