MOB
Also known as: M.O.B., Massachusetts OG Bubba
MOB Strain Overview
MOB, an acronym for 'Massachusetts OG Bubba,' is a hybrid cannabis strain that originated in the New England region of the United States, specifically gaining prominence in Massachusetts. The strain's development is attributed to local growers who sought to create a potent, flavorful variety by crossing Bubba Kush with a Massachusetts-bred OG Kush phenotype. This regional heritage has made MOB particularly popular in the Northeastern U.S., where it has developed a reputation for its powerful effects and distinctive aroma. The strain's name reflects both its geographic origins and its genetic lineage, with 'M.O.B.' sometimes interpreted as an abbreviation for its full name.
MOB plants typically display a robust structure with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a deep green coloration often accented by purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils. The foliage tends to be broad and dark green, characteristic of its Kush heritage. The strain is known for producing a strong, pungent aroma that combines earthy, fuel-like notes with sweet, skunky undertones, making it easily recognizable to experienced users.
Notable features of MOB include its balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention for its potency, with THC levels that can reach exceptionally high percentages. While primarily an East Coast phenomenon, MOB has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and reliable effects. The strain's regional specificity means it may be less commonly available outside its area of origin, though its reputation has spread through the cannabis community.

MOB Strain Growing Information
MOB is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. 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. MOB prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold, given its dense bud structure. The plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though they may require support during flowering due to heavy buds. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation and monitoring for pests, as the strain can be susceptible to spider mites and powdery mildew in humid conditions.
