Green Mamba
Also known as: Green Mamba OG
Green Mamba Strain Overview
Green Mamba is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat unclear, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene. It is named for its vibrant green coloration and the potent, fast-acting effects that some users compare to the quick strike of the venomous snake.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a forest green hue often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The aroma is complex, blending earthy, piney notes with citrus undertones and a subtle sweetness. When properly cured, Green Mamba has a smooth smoke that translates its aromatic profile into flavor.
Green Mamba is known for its well-rounded hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. This makes it suitable for various times of day, though novice users should exercise caution due to its potentially high THC content. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries, particularly in legal markets on the West Coast, though it is not considered one of the most widely cultivated commercial strains.

Green Mamba Strain Growing Information
Green Mamba is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they may require some height management in confined spaces.
Indoor yields average around 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Green Mamba prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent sunlight when grown outdoors. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but benefit from good air circulation and careful monitoring during the flowering stage. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, so a balanced feeding regimen is recommended.
