Mr. Magoo
Mr. Magoo Strain Overview
Mr. Magoo is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain named after the nearsighted cartoon character, a nod to its potent, disorienting effects that can blur perception. Its exact genetic origins are somewhat obscure and debated within the cannabis community, but it is widely believed to be a cross between the classic indica Northern Lights and the sativa-dominant hybrid Haze. The strain emerged in the late 1980s or early 1990s, gaining a reputation in the Pacific Northwest of the United States before spreading to other regions. It is considered a heritage or 'old-school' strain by modern enthusiasts.
The plant typically produces dense, conical buds that are forest green with occasional purple hues, covered in a frosty layer of white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The aroma is complex and pungent, blending earthy, skunky notes with undertones of pine and a sharp, spicy finish. The flavor profile upon consumption mirrors this, often with a smooth, earthy taste accented by hints of pine and spice, leaving a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Mr. Magoo is noted for its well-rounded effects that begin with a cerebral, euphoric lift characteristic of its Haze lineage, followed by a deeply relaxing, full-body stone from its Northern Lights heritage. This combination makes it a versatile strain, though its potency can be overwhelming for novice users. It is not as commercially prevalent as many modern hybrids, contributing to its status as a somewhat rare, classic cultivar sought after by connoisseurs.

Mr. Magoo Strain Growing Information
Mr. Magoo is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, better suited for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are ready for harvest around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant tends to be of medium height, making it manageable for indoor setups, but it can stretch significantly during the flowering phase. It prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to bud rot. Yields are typically moderate to high, especially with proper training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST). It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor cultivation often resulting in larger plants and higher yields if conditions are ideal.
