Spirit Mountain
Spirit Mountain Strain Overview
Spirit Mountain is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its initial development. Breeders in Oregon and Washington state reportedly created this strain by crossing established genetics to produce a balanced hybrid with distinctive aromatic qualities and reliable effects. The name 'Spirit Mountain' references both the spiritual connotations of cannabis use in some communities and possibly geographical features in the Pacific Northwest, though no specific mountain has been confirmed as the namesake.
The strain produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The foliage tends to be broad and dark green, with plants exhibiting moderate branching that responds well to training techniques.
Spirit Mountain is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, woody notes with subtle fruity undertones. The terpene composition creates a distinctive scent that many users describe as reminiscent of a forest after rain, with hints of pine and citrus. While not as widely available as commercial mainstream strains, Spirit Mountain has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and unique sensory characteristics. The strain's relative rarity means that consistent quality can vary between growers and batches.

Spirit Mountain Strain Growing Information
Spirit Mountain is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 120-180 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Spirit Mountain responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques to maximize yield. The plants have moderate resistance to common pests and molds but require good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are average, though some growers report that the strain benefits from slightly reduced nitrogen during flowering to enhance terpene production.
