Mahayana
Also known as: Mahayana Cannabis
What is the Mahayana strain?
Mahayana is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its energetic effects and earthy and hash flavor profile.
Mahayana is a distinctive sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Karma Genetics, released in 2012. The strain is the result of crossing a prize-winning cup cut of Dominator with a Lucifer OG male. The name Mahayana is a reference to a path to enlightenment in Buddhist tradition, which is fitting for this cerebral strain. This hybrid represents a meeting of a nice sativa with a strong kush, creating plants with above average stretch characteristics.
Mahayana is truly a sight to behold, appearing more white than green towards the end of the grow cycle due to the heavy trichome load upon her flowers. The strain can produce long, spear-shaped buds that yield very well. Most phenotypes seem to favor the mother plant's (Dominator) side of the genetics. This hybrid strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, though her tall heights require adequate space when cultivated inside. The strain showcases the careful breeding work of Karma Genetics in combining award-winning genetics to produce a unique and potent cannabis variety.

How do you grow Mahayana?
Mahayana produces high yields in both indoor and outdoor environments with a flowering time of 10-12 weeks. Some sources indicate a 9-week flowering period with quick-filling spear-shaped flowers. The strain is classified as a tall-growing hybrid sativa with medium to high yields. Growers should not allow too much vegetation time as she stretches significantly during pre-flower. Due to her growth pattern, Mahayana benefits from Sea of Green cultivation methods, with her dominant apical bud towering above lower buds, making her ideal for 9 plants per meter squared. Indoor humidity should be kept below 60% RH. The strain is considered easy to grow and suitable for both commercial and small-scale cultivation.
