Mermelada
Also known as: Mermelada OG
Mermelada Strain Overview
Mermelada is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in European and North American markets, particularly among connoisseurs seeking balanced effects with distinctive flavor profiles. The strain's name, which translates to 'jam' or 'marmalade' in Spanish, reflects its sweet, fruity aroma that often carries notes of citrus and berry preserves. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, Mermelada appears to have emerged from Spanish breeding circles in the early 2010s, combining genetics from established American and European varieties to create a strain with broad appeal.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a striking appearance characterized by deep green foliage interspersed with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often display purple hues in cooler growing conditions, adding to their visual appeal. Mermelada's structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation methods including Sea of Green (SOG) techniques.
Notable features of Mermelada include its complex terpene profile that delivers a sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of mixed berry jam with subtle earthy undertones. The strain is recognized for providing a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to gentle physical relaxation, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Mermelada has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its consistent quality and pleasant effects.

Mermelada Strain Growing Information
Mermelada is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, implementing proper training techniques to maximize light penetration, and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping to control height and improve yield.
