Mt. Tropicana

Mt. Tropicana is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 15-21% on average, with 0.9% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Mt. Tropicana 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, Mt. Tropicana 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.

Mt. Tropicana has a distinctive citrus and chocolate 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 chocolate finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, curly amber hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Mt. Tropicana offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 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 Tropicana family — see Citrus Tropicana and Defunct Tropicana for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
