Lost Mandarin
Lost Mandarin Strain Overview
Lost Mandarin is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community. The strain is believed to have been developed by boutique breeders who sought to create a unique flavor profile combining citrus notes with exotic undertones. Its name references both its elusive breeding history and its distinctive mandarin orange characteristics that distinguish it from more common citrus-forward strains. The strain gained attention primarily through word-of-mouth among connoisseurs rather than widespread commercial distribution.
Visually, Lost Mandarin typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. The pistils tend toward orange and rust colors, reinforcing its namesake citrus theme. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, with a complex aroma that unfolds upon handling.
Notable features of Lost Mandarin include its balanced genetic expression and complex terpene profile that sets it apart from simpler citrus varieties. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a reputation among experienced users for its nuanced effects and flavor complexity. The strain's relative rarity means that specific phenotypic expressions can vary between different growers' batches, contributing to its 'lost' mystique within cannabis culture.

Lost Mandarin Strain Growing Information
Lost Mandarin 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 are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, up to 2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate phosphorus during the flowering phase to support resin production.
