Mauve Mochi
Also known as: Purple Mochi, Mauve Mochi OG
Mauve Mochi Strain Overview
Mauve Mochi is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest. The strain is known for its distinctive purple coloration and dense, resinous buds that resemble the Japanese rice cake 'mochi' in texture and appearance. Breeders developed this strain by crossing Purple Punch with Mochi Gelato, combining the relaxing indica qualities of Purple Punch with the balanced hybrid characteristics of Mochi Gelato.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dark green foliage that develops deep purple and mauve hues as the plant matures, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are exceptionally dense and frosty with a thick coating of trichomes, giving them a sticky, resinous texture. Mauve Mochi has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its unique appearance and complex terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones.
Notable features include its striking visual appeal, with buds often displaying a gradient of colors from deep purple to lavender, and its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain has become particularly popular in legal markets on the West Coast, where it has developed a reputation for consistent quality and reliable effects. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Mauve Mochi has established itself as a sought-after variety among enthusiasts who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and well-rounded experience.

Mauve Mochi Strain Growing Information
Mauve Mochi 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 occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature fluctuations needed to enhance the purple coloration. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining cooler nighttime temperatures (around 15-18°C/59-64°F) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to encourage the development of purple pigments. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation due to their dense bud structure. Regular pruning of lower branches is recommended to focus energy on top cola development.
