Midas
Also known as: Midas Touch
Midas Strain Overview
Midas is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique combination of effects and flavors. The strain was created by crossing the indica-dominant hybrid The White with the sativa-dominant hybrid Tangie, resulting in a well-rounded genetic profile that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. Midas is named for the mythological King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold, reflecting the strain's reputation for delivering a premium, high-quality experience.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by bright orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes, often with purple hues appearing in cooler temperatures. The buds are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, golden appearance that lives up to the strain's name. Midas has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its complex terpene profile and balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mental stimulation.
Midas is considered a relatively rare strain compared to more mainstream varieties, but it has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics. The strain's balanced genetics make it versatile for various consumption methods and times of day, though most users prefer it for afternoon or evening use due to its moderately relaxing properties.

Midas Strain Growing Information
Midas is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Midas responds well to techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants benefit from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase when they require increased phosphorus and potassium. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites and implement preventive measures to protect the resinous buds.
