Mendo Peaks

Mendo Peaks is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 22-28% on average, with 0.3% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Mendo Peaks high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Mendo Peaks is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Mendo Peaks has a mouth-filling berry and citrus flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a citrus finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

For growers, Mendo Peaks offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in around 8 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Peaks family — see Four Peaks and Amnesia Peaks for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
