Also known as: Mary Mag, Magdalene
Mary Magdalene Strain Overview
Mary Magdalene is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its balanced effects and complex terpene profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with some sources suggesting it was developed by breeders seeking to create a strain with both therapeutic potential and recreational appeal. The name references the biblical figure Mary Magdalene, though the specific connection to the strain's characteristics remains unclear.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display deep green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds are usually compact and tightly packed, characteristic of indica-dominant genetics. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's frosty appearance, which indicates its high resin production.
Mary Magdalene is noted for its complex aroma and flavor profile that evolves throughout the consumption experience. The initial scent often presents earthy and woody notes, followed by more subtle floral and herbal undertones. When consumed, users typically report a smooth smoke with a flavor that combines earthiness with hints of sweetness and spice. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both physical relaxation and mental clarity without excessive sedation.

Mary Magdalene Strain Growing Information
Mary Magdalene is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. The yield is generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant. The plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold issues, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related problems.
