Pure Michigan
Also known as: Pure Michigan F2
What is the Pure Michigan strain?
Pure Michigan is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
Pure Michigan is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) that emerged as a collaborative project between two renowned Michigan-based breeders: ThugPug Genetics and 3rd Coast Genetics. This cultivar was created through crossing the popular Oreoz strain with Mendo Breath F2 (Studly Spewright), resulting in a powerful and flavorful cannabis variety that pays homage to Michigan's cannabis breeding heritage. The strain's name reflects the popular tourism slogan used by the state of Michigan, emphasizing local pride and quality associated with the region.
Pure Michigan has gained significant recognition for its exceptional potency, striking appearance, and complex terpene profile. The strain displays characteristic indica growing patterns with dense, compact colas covered in an abundance of glistening trichomes. The buds exhibit a beautiful color palette, starting as deep green and developing purple undertones with bright orange pistils during late flowering. The flowers are notably resinous and sticky, requiring careful handling during processing.
With THC levels typically ranging from 20-29%, Pure Michigan ranks among the strongest cannabis strains currently available. The strain inherits desirable traits from both parent lines: Oreoz contributes dessert-like sweetness and high potency (averaging 28% THC), while Mendo Breath F2 adds earthy vanilla-caramel terpenes and stress-relieving properties. This genetic combination has created a cultivar that offers both recreational satisfaction and potential therapeutic benefits for experienced cannabis consumers.
