Mental Floss Strain Overview
Mental Floss is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Subcool through his seed company TGA Genetics. The strain was created in the early 2000s as part of Subcool's efforts to produce unique, flavorful varieties with complex genetic backgrounds. Its name reflects the cerebral, thought-provoking effects that users often report, though some confusion exists in the cannabis community as the name has occasionally been applied to different genetics by other breeders.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant color palette. The flowers often display shades of deep green with purple and blue undertones, complemented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The buds have a sticky texture and emit a complex aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy and spicy undertones. Mental Floss is known for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day.
While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Mental Floss maintains a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene profile and balanced effects. The strain's genetics contribute to its reputation as a versatile hybrid that can adapt to different growing environments, though it requires some cultivation experience to reach its full potential. Due to its relative rarity compared to mainstream strains, finding authentic Mental Floss genetics can be challenging, and consumers should verify sources when purchasing seeds or products labeled with this name.

Mental Floss Strain Growing Information
Mental Floss is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with cannabis growing. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in 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 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, 1.5-2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Mental Floss prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The plants produce dense buds that require good air circulation and may need support during late flowering stages.
