Mandarin Headstash
Also known as: Mandarin Head Stash
Mandarin Headstash Strain Overview
Mandarin Headstash is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Bodhi Seeds, known for its distinctive citrus aroma and balanced effects. The strain was created by crossing the classic Headstash (a hybrid of Chemdawg, OG Kush, and Hindu Kush) with a rare Mandarin phenotype, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the relaxing qualities of indica varieties with the uplifting characteristics of sativas. This breeding project aimed to enhance the terpene profile while maintaining the potent effects of the original Headstash lineage.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented with bright orange pistils. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Mandarin Headstash is particularly noted for its strong citrus aroma, reminiscent of fresh mandarin oranges, with underlying earthy and spicy notes that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Mandarin Headstash has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its complex flavor profile and well-rounded effects. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype expression and cultivation methods.

Mandarin Headstash Strain Growing Information
Mandarin Headstash 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 late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 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 tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Mandarin Headstash benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The strain is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Growers should monitor nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
