Mastodon

Mastodon is a pure sativa strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 23-29% on average, with 0.7% CBD. Seeds come in feminized and regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Mastodon high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. Because of these effects, Mastodon is often chosen for managing mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect lemon and pine up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a lemon-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, fiery orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Mastodon offers a demanding plant best left to experienced growers — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. 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 Mastodon family — see Mastodon Haze and Mastodon Kush for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
