Also known as: Green Lantern OG
Green Lantern Strain Overview
Green Lantern is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources point to California as its birthplace. It gained popularity among medical and recreational users for its well-rounded effects and distinctive flavor profile. The name likely references both its vibrant green coloration and the powerful, uplifting effects that users describe.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a forest green color accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that catches light, contributing to its namesake visual appeal. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure characteristic of its indica-dominant heritage. When properly cured, Green Lantern emits a complex aroma that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle diesel undertones.
Green Lantern is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. This progression makes it versatile for different times of day, though many users prefer it for afternoon or evening use. The strain has maintained consistent popularity in legal markets, particularly in dispensaries along the West Coast, though it remains less common than some mainstream hybrids. Its reputation for reliable effects and manageable cultivation has helped sustain its presence in the cannabis community.

Green Lantern Strain Growing Information
Green Lantern is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late 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 prefers a controlled indoor environment but can be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height (3-5 feet) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage.
