Also known as: Ninja Green
Green Ninja Strain Overview
Green Ninja is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeding programs in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain gained popularity through word-of-mouth in cannabis communities rather than through large-scale commercial distribution, contributing to its somewhat elusive reputation. Breeders focused on creating a balanced hybrid that combined cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, resulting in a versatile strain suitable for various consumption times.
The strain's name reflects its appearance and effects. Green Ninja typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure reminiscent of indica varieties, yet maintains the elongated shape often seen in sativa-dominant plants. The coloration is predominantly deep forest green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The name 'Ninja' references both the strain's stealthy, creeping effects and its ability to deliver potent results despite its unassuming appearance.
Notable characteristics include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained particular attention among connoisseurs for its ability to provide both mental clarity and physical comfort without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Green Ninja has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its reliable performance and versatile effects.

Green Ninja Strain Growing Information
Green Ninja is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 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 growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns, reaching medium heights of 120-180 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy colas may require staking. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
