Emerald Triangle
Also known as: Emerald Triangle OG
Emerald Triangle Strain Overview
Emerald Triangle is a hybrid cannabis strain named after the famous cannabis-growing region in Northern California encompassing Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity counties. The strain was developed to honor the legacy of this region, which has been a center of cannabis cultivation since the 1960s. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among breeders, it is generally accepted as a carefully selected phenotype from the rich genetic pool of the Emerald Triangle area, representing the region's distinctive growing traditions and expertise.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance featuring deep green hues often accented by purple and orange pistils. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Emerald Triangle is known for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its versatile effects and complex flavor profile.
Notable features include its adaptability to different growing conditions and its representation of the 'heritage' cannabis genetics from Northern California. The strain serves as a tribute to the generations of growers who have cultivated cannabis in the region, though specific breeding details are less documented than with many modern commercially bred strains. Its development reflects the artisanal breeding approaches characteristic of the Emerald Triangle region.

Emerald Triangle Strain Growing Information
Emerald Triangle 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 harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates similar to its namesake region. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate nutrients during the flowering phase.
