Midas Blood
Also known as: Midas Blood OG
What is the Midas Blood strain?
Midas Blood is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Midas Blood is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Midas (also known as Midas Touch) with an unknown OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest it may involve other genetics like Blood Orange or other citrus-forward strains. Its exact lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to limited documentation and the proprietary nature of some breeding programs.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep purple and dark green hues with vibrant orange pistils, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The name 'Midas Blood' references both its golden resin production and the blood-like coloration that can develop in cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually medium to large in size with a tight, indica-dominant structure despite its hybrid classification.
Midas Blood has gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects. While not as widely available as commercial strains, it has maintained popularity in certain medical and recreational markets, particularly in California and Colorado. The strain's rarity and distinctive characteristics have made it a sought-after variety for experienced users and collectors.

How do you grow Midas Blood?
Midas Blood is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. 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, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns, starting with sativa-like stretch during vegetation but developing indica-dense bud structure during flowering. Indoor plants typically reach 100-150 cm in height, while outdoor plants can grow 150-200 cm tall. Midas Blood prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity during flowering to prevent mold issues. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and providing good air circulation. The plants may display dramatic color changes (purple and red hues) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding. The strain produces abundant resin, making it suitable for extraction purposes.
