Mocha Bean
Also known as: Mocha Bean OG
Mocha Bean Strain Overview
Mocha Bean is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its initial development. Breeders reportedly sought to create a strain with distinctive coffee and chocolate flavor profiles combined with balanced hybrid effects, leading to the 'Mocha' designation in its name.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex coloration that typically includes deep forest green nugs accented by amber and burnt orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosted appearance. The aroma profile is particularly notable, featuring prominent coffee and dark chocolate notes with subtle undertones of earth and spice. The flavor experience generally mirrors the aroma, delivering a rich, smooth smoke that many users describe as reminiscent of a mocha beverage.
Mocha Bean is considered a moderately potent strain with effects that typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. Due to its relative rarity, Mocha Bean is more commonly found in specific regional markets rather than being widely available nationally or internationally.

Mocha Bean Strain Growing Information
Mocha Bean is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs in late September to early October. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 1.2-1.6 ounces per square foot (400-500 grams per square meter) under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces (400-500 grams) per plant. The plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) indoors and 5-7 feet (150-210 cm) outdoors. Mocha Bean responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity conditions. The strain generally has good resistance to common pests and diseases.
