Also known as: Mega Fauna
Megafauna Strain Overview
Megafauna is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile. The strain's name references prehistoric giant animals, suggesting its substantial effects and potentially large bud structure. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where breeders have been developing distinctive hybrids with complex genetic backgrounds.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance characterized by deep green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs often have a slightly elongated structure with tight calyx formation. Megafauna's aroma profile is complex, combining earthy base notes with citrus undertones and subtle diesel accents that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features include its balanced hybrid effects that many users describe as providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. The strain has gained a reputation among experienced consumers for its smooth smoke and long-lasting effects. Due to its relative rarity compared to mainstream commercial strains, Megafauna is often sought after by cannabis enthusiasts looking for unique genetic expressions and nuanced effects.

Megafauna Strain Growing Information
Megafauna is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants in suitable climates are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields with proper care, responding well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training.
Indoor cultivation is recommended for optimal environmental control, though the strain can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4 to 6 feet when grown outdoors, while indoor plants can be maintained at 3 to 4 feet with proper training. Megafauna prefers stable temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, with particular attention to humidity control during late flowering to prevent mold. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding but are somewhat sensitive to overfeeding, requiring careful monitoring of nutrient levels.
