The 'Stache
Also known as: The Stache, The Mustache
The 'Stache Strain Overview
The 'Stache is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in the public record, the strain gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. The name is a playful reference to the strain's reported ability to leave users feeling content and relaxed, as if sporting a satisfied mustache.
The strain is characterized by medium to large, dense buds that exhibit a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically display a deep forest green base color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler nighttime temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of frosty white trichomes covers the buds, while vibrant orange pistils weave throughout, creating a visually appealing contrast. The 'Stache's buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them particularly suitable for extraction purposes.
Notable features of The 'Stache include its complex aromatic profile that evolves during the curing process and its reputation for providing a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has remained somewhat niche in the broader cannabis market, primarily available through select dispensaries and growers in legal states, which contributes to its elusive status among mainstream consumers.

The 'Stache Strain Growing Information
The 'Stache is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity during flowering to prevent mold. It can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 3-5 feet tall, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) to maximize light penetration and airflow. Special considerations include maintaining proper nutrient balance during flowering and ensuring adequate spacing between plants to prevent moisture-related issues.
