Mystique Strain Overview
Mystique is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex genetic profile and versatile effects. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is widely believed to have emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. Its name reflects the enigmatic nature of its lineage and the intriguing experience it provides users.
The strain typically produces medium to large buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers exhibit a striking appearance with deep green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The leaves often display subtle purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, adding to the strain's visual appeal. Mystique's buds are known for their sticky texture and distinctive aroma profile.
Notable features include its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain has gained particular attention for its complex terpene profile that creates a sophisticated flavor experience. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Mystique has developed a dedicated following among experienced cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its nuanced characteristics.

Mystique Strain Growing Information
Mystique is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 200 cm under optimal conditions. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The plants benefit from good air circulation and proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase. Some phenotypes may exhibit color changes (purpling) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
