Mashed Manzana
Also known as: Mashed Manzana OG, Mashed Manzana Kush
Mashed Manzana Strain Overview
Mashed Manzana is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the Western United States before spreading to other markets. The strain's name combines 'mashed' (suggesting potency or intensity) with 'manzana' (Spanish for apple), reflecting its reported flavor profile. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records, it appears to have been developed by boutique breeders focusing on unique flavor combinations rather than large commercial seed companies.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast with the green foliage. The buds tend to be quite resinous, making them sticky to the touch. The plant structure is generally bushy with strong lateral branching, showing characteristics of both indica and sativa lineages.
Notable features of Mashed Manzana include its distinctive aroma profile that combines fruity and earthy notes, with many users reporting a pronounced apple-like scent mixed with undertones of diesel or fuel. The strain has gained attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor, though it remains less documented than more established strains. Its relative novelty means that consistent phenotypes may still be developing across different growers and regions.

Mashed Manzana Strain Growing Information
Mashed Manzana is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors with proper training. Yield is generally moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors.
Preferred growing conditions include a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent warmth and low humidity. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring for common pests. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
