Also known as: M&Ms, M and Ms
M&M's Strain Overview
M&M's is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its colorful appearance and well-rounded effects. The strain's name references the multicolored candy, drawing a parallel to the vibrant hues often displayed in its buds. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, most sources suggest it emerged from California's medical cannabis scene in the early 2010s, developed by breeders seeking to create a visually striking strain with reliable hybrid characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds that are notable for their colorful presentation. During flowering, M&M's plants often display a range of purple, green, and orange hues, with bright orange pistils weaving through the foliage. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The visual appeal has contributed significantly to the strain's popularity among both growers and consumers.
M&M's is recognized for providing a balanced experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The effects typically begin with an uplifting, euphoric onset that gradually transitions into a calming body sensation without causing excessive sedation. This makes it suitable for various times of day, though some users report it may be slightly more indica-dominant in its later effects. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries, particularly in legal markets where colorful, photogenic strains attract consumer attention.

M&M's Strain Growing Information
M&M's is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates. Plants tend to stay at a manageable height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to enhance color development and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield.
