Also known as: Mandarin
Overview
Mandarin Sunset is an indica-dominant hybrid strain bred by Ethos Genetics through crossing Herijuana with Orange Skunk. First grown in Colorado, USA, this strain was originally developed by Ethos Genetics and has become so beloved by consumers that it led to the creation of an entire line of Mandarin strains. The strain has won multiple concentrate awards due to its rich mandarin orange and skunk terpenes.
Mandarin Sunset is renowned for its sweet citrus aroma accompanied by notes of fuel and an earthy spiciness. The buds display vibrant green colors with deep purple highlights sprinkled throughout, adorned with reddish hairs and a dense layer of trichomes. The visual appeal features a palette that blends mint green and deep purple, accented by vivid red hairs with a high trichome density giving the buds a frosty appearance. The light and aromatic nature of this strain can be deceptive, as many users are unprepared for the potent effects that follow consumption.

Growing Mandarin Sunset is considered challenging for novice growers, particularly due to its high stature. Plants tend to grow tall, reaching 60-80 inches indoors and more than 90 inches in outdoor settings. The flowering time is 8-9 weeks indoors with outdoor harvest ready by September. Indoor yields range from 1-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 15-20 ounces per plant. The strain features medium stretch and excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio, making it relatively easy to grow once established and providing good yields of quality flower. It can be successfully grown both indoors and outdoors.
