Mountain Emeralds
Also known as: Mountain Emerald, Emerald Mountain
Mountain Emeralds Strain Overview
Mountain Emeralds is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis cultivation scene in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from mainstream seed banks or breeders. Based on available user reports and cultivation forums, Mountain Emeralds is believed to be a carefully selected phenotype from a cross involving Emerald OG and an unknown Mountain strain variant, though this lineage remains unverified by established breeders.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, conical buds that display a remarkable color palette. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes that give the buds a frosted, emerald-like appearance. The name "Mountain Emeralds" likely references both this visual characteristic and the strain's purported mountainous origins.
Notable features include the strain's complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. Growers report that Mountain Emeralds plants tend to be moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring careful attention to environmental conditions to achieve optimal expression of its terpene profile and cannabinoid content. The strain remains somewhat obscure in commercial markets but has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and reported effects.

Mountain Emeralds Strain Growing Information
Mountain Emeralds is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or temperate outdoor conditions with consistent temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C). Plants tend to reach medium height, typically staying between 4-6 feet tall when grown outdoors, with indoor plants remaining more compact at 3-4 feet. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering (40-50% RH) to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and yield.
