Fire on the Mountain
Also known as: Fire Mountain, FOTM
Fire on the Mountain Strain Overview
Fire on the Mountain is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its vibrant appearance and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally believed to have emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. Its name references both its fiery visual characteristics and the classic Grateful Dead song, appealing to both cannabis enthusiasts and music fans.
The strain is visually distinctive, producing dense, conical buds that display a striking color contrast. The flowers typically feature deep forest green foliage heavily dusted with amber and rust-colored pistils, while a thick coating of crystalline trichomes gives the buds a frosted appearance. When grown under optimal conditions, some phenotypes may develop purple or reddish hues in the leaves and calyxes, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Fire on the Mountain is noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced genetic expression. The strain typically exhibits a 50/50 indica-sativa ratio, though individual phenotypes may lean slightly in either direction. Its popularity stems from its reliable performance, appealing aesthetics, and versatile effects that make it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications. The strain has become a staple in many dispensaries and is frequently used in breeding projects due to its stable genetics and desirable traits.

Fire on the Mountain Strain Growing Information
Fire on the Mountain is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Fire on the Mountain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (68-78°F or 20-26°C) and ensuring good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to humidity issues. The plants benefit from a balanced nutrient regimen with slightly higher phosphorus levels during flowering. Some phenotypes may require support for heavy colas in late flowering stages.
