M-1 Gas Mask
Also known as: M1 Gas Mask
M-1 Gas Mask Strain Overview
M-1 Gas Mask is a potent hybrid cannabis strain known for its distinctive fuel-like aroma and powerful effects. The strain's name derives from its intense, gassy scent that some users describe as reminiscent of diesel or chemical fumes, combined with a skunky undertone. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it is generally believed to be a cross between Chemdawg and an unknown indica strain, resulting in a balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s, particularly in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it became known for its strong effects and unique sensory profile.
The plant produces dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The leaves are broad and dark green, characteristic of indica genetics. When properly cured, the buds have a sticky texture and break apart with a satisfying snap, releasing their potent aroma.
M-1 Gas Mask is notable for its complex terpene profile that creates its signature scent, which combines fuel, diesel, and skunk notes with subtle earthy and pine undertones. The strain's effects are typically described as fast-acting and powerful, with users reporting an initial cerebral rush followed by deep physical relaxation. Due to its high THC content and potent effects, it is generally recommended for experienced cannabis consumers rather than beginners.

M-1 Gas Mask Strain Growing Information
M-1 Gas Mask is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. 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 warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold issues. Plants tend to stay medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation due to the dense bud structure, monitoring for pests (particularly spider mites), and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy buds can cause branches to bend or break. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
