Mars Hotel
Also known as: Mars Hotel OG
What is the Mars Hotel strain?
Mars Hotel is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Mars Hotel is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s within the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's name is believed to reference the 1974 Grateful Dead album 'From the Mars Hotel,' reflecting the counterculture connections often found in cannabis nomenclature. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure, Mars Hotel is generally understood to be a carefully selected phenotype from the broader OG Kush family, though some sources suggest it may contain genetic contributions from other classic California strains.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dense, chunky nuggets covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The coloration typically ranges from deep forest green to olive hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. Mars Hotel is noted for its resinous quality and sticky texture when properly cured, making it popular among concentrate producers as well as flower enthusiasts.
Mars Hotel has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in California and the Pacific Northwest, though it has never achieved the widespread commercial distribution of some other OG varieties. The strain is appreciated by connoisseurs for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as commonly available as some mainstream strains, Mars Hotel continues to have a dedicated following among those familiar with its unique characteristics.

The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Mars Hotel plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 120-160 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors.
