Pure Michigan
Also known as: Pure Michigan F2
Pure Michigan Strain Overview
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.

Pure Michigan Strain Growing Information
Pure Michigan is moderately challenging to grow (difficulty 6/10) but is considered accessible to newer growers while being rewarding for veterans. The strain displays quintessential indica growing patterns with compact, bushy structure ideal for stealth growing. It responds well to training techniques such as topping and LST (Low Stress Training) to maximize yields. Indoor flowering time is 8-10 weeks (56-63 days), with outdoor harvests ready in early to mid-October. Indoor yields can reach 8-24 oz per plant or up to 500g per m2, while outdoor plants can produce 16-64 oz per plant or up to 1kg under optimal conditions. The strain prefers Mediterranean/temperate climates and adapts well to indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse environments. Plants require light fertilization until late flowering and benefit from branch support due to heavy, dense buds. Pure Michigan grows well in hydroponic and coconut coir systems, producing more compact flowers with increased yields.
