Mountain Jam
Also known as: Mountain Jam OG
Mountain Jam Strain Overview
Mountain Jam is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at Mountain Genetics. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as part of a wave of cultivars designed to capture the essence of classic landrace strains while enhancing potency and consistency. Its name references both its mountainous heritage and the 'jam' of flavors it produces, though some sources suggest it may also nod to the Grateful Dead song of the same name, popular within cannabis culture.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that exhibit a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically heavily coated in a frosty layer of trichomes and adorned with vibrant orange pistils. Mountain Jam's aroma profile is complex and often described as a blend of earthy pine with sweet, fruity undertones, which translates directly to its flavor when consumed.
Notable features include its balanced effects and relatively high THC content, which make it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has gained a reputation for its reliable performance and consistent quality, though it remains somewhat less common than mainstream commercial varieties. Its genetic stability has made it a favorite among home growers seeking a manageable plant with rewarding results.

Mountain Jam Strain Growing Information
Mountain Jam is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor setups where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Mountain Jam prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and good air circulation. Special considerations include monitoring for mold in humid conditions due to its dense bud structure, and implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a proper curing process to fully develop their flavor profile.
