Mirage
Mirage Strain Overview
Mirage is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain first gained attention in the mid-2010s as part of Exotic Genetix's 'Mint Chocolate Chip' series, though its exact release date remains undocumented. Mirage represents a carefully crafted combination of genetics designed to produce a well-rounded experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's physical characteristics include dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives the flowers a shimmering, almost mirage-like appearance. The coloration typically ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the compact bud structure. The aroma profile is complex, combining sweet, fruity notes with undertones of earth and spice, while the flavor delivers a smooth smoke with lingering sweetness on the exhale.
Mirage has gained popularity in legal markets for its consistent performance and balanced effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced terpene profile and reliable effects. The strain's name reflects both its visual appearance and the dreamy, cerebral experience it provides, though users should note that individual experiences may vary based on cultivation methods and personal biochemistry.

Mirage Strain Growing Information
Mirage 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 are ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better control of environmental factors.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Mirage responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants prefer stable temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Regular nutrient feeding with attention to phosphorus during flowering is recommended for optimal results.
