Marshmallow Mountain
Also known as: Marshmallow OG, Marshmallow Kush
What is the Marshmallow Mountain strain?
Marshmallow Mountain is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and creamy and earthy flavor profile.
Marshmallow Mountain is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a cultivar with a unique flavor profile and balanced effects. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources agree it represents a carefully selected phenotype from a broader breeding project focused on dessert-flavored varieties. The strain gained popularity through the craft cannabis market and has since become available through select seed banks and dispensaries.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance featuring dense, conical buds that resemble miniature mountain peaks, hence the 'Mountain' portion of its name. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes and bright orange pistils. The buds are notably dense and resinous, with a structure that makes them particularly suitable for extraction purposes. The name 'Marshmallow' refers to the strain's sweet, creamy aroma that some users compare to toasted marshmallows or vanilla desserts.
Marshmallow Mountain has gained recognition for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation. The strain's popularity has grown steadily in both medical and recreational markets, though it remains somewhat less common than mainstream commercial varieties. Its unique flavor profile and consistent performance have made it a favorite among connoisseurs and home growers seeking something distinctive from more widely available strains. The strain's genetics have also been used in several subsequent breeding projects aiming to incorporate its dessert-like terpene profile into other cultivars.

How do you grow Marshmallow Mountain?
Marshmallow Mountain is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds, and some growers recommend slightly cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering to encourage purple coloration. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
