Mountain Hashplant
Also known as: Mountain Hash Plant, MHP
Mountain Hashplant Strain Overview
Mountain Hashplant is a classic indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene in the late 1990s. The strain was developed by crossing traditional hash plant genetics with mountain-grown landrace indica varieties, creating a robust plant well-suited to cooler climates. Its exact lineage remains somewhat obscure, but it is believed to incorporate genetics from Northern Lights, Afghani, and possibly Hindu Kush varieties, bred specifically for resin production and hardiness in mountainous regions.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. Mountain Hashplant typically produces medium to large-sized plants with broad leaves and a bushy growth structure. The buds emit a complex aroma profile that combines earthy, hash-like notes with subtle undertones of pine and spice, reflecting its traditional hash plant heritage.
Notable features include its exceptional resin production and resilience to cooler temperatures, making it particularly valued by both cultivators and hash makers. The strain has maintained popularity among traditional cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its old-school characteristics and reliable effects. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, Mountain Hashplant has developed a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and among connoisseurs of classic indica varieties.

Mountain Hashplant Strain Growing Information
Mountain Hashplant is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, particularly well-suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a temperate climate and demonstrates good resistance to cooler temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor cultivation in mountainous or northern regions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 1.2-1.5 meters indoors, with outdoor specimens potentially growing taller. Mountain Hashplant benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when dense buds develop. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain responds well to bloom boosters during flowering to enhance resin production.
