Shire Madness
Also known as: Shire Madness OG
Shire Madness Strain Overview
Shire Madness is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily through word-of-mouth and online cannabis communities rather than widespread commercial cultivation. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation from major seed banks or breeders. It appears to have emerged in the late 2010s, potentially as a phenotype or cross developed by smaller-scale growers. The name suggests possible inspiration from fantasy literature, though this connection remains speculative.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that often display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy and pine notes with subtle citrus undertones. The flavor generally follows the aromatic profile, with a smooth smoke that many users find pleasant.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Shire Madness has developed a reputation among enthusiasts for its balanced effects. Growers note that it tends to be a resilient plant with moderate yields, making it accessible for cultivators with some experience. The strain's relative rarity means that specific characteristics can vary between different grows, and comprehensive laboratory testing data is less available compared to more established varieties.

Shire Madness Strain Growing Information
Shire Madness is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, 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 the Northern Hemisphere. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be of medium height, with indoor plants reaching 3-4 feet and outdoor plants potentially growing to 5-6 feet. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers reporting approximately 14-16 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-18 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. They prefer a stable climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during the flowering phase to prevent mold.
