Mushers
Also known as: Mushroom, Musher
Mushers Strain Overview
Mushers is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that has gained recognition for its powerful sedative effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it developed a reputation among medical cannabis patients seeking strong relaxation effects. The name 'Mushers' reportedly references the strain's ability to 'mush' or flatten users with its heavy body effects, similar to how sled dogs mush through snow.
Visually, Mushers typically produces dense, resinous buds with a forest green coloration often accented by deep purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are usually compact and tightly structured, characteristic of indica genetics, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy, woody notes with subtle hints of citrus and spice, while the flavor profile delivers a smooth smoke with earthy, pine-forward tastes complemented by undertones of sweet berries.
Mushers is particularly noted for its rapid onset of effects, which users describe as initially cerebral before transitioning to a deeply physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among evening and nighttime users due to its pronounced sedative qualities. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Mushers maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets and among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced genetic expression and reliable effects.

Mushers Strain Growing Information
Mushers is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable 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. Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants tend to remain relatively short and bushy, usually reaching 3-4 feet in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Some growers recommend light pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
