Mekong

Mekong 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 22-28% on average, with 0.4% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Mekong 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, Mekong 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.

On the palate, expect chocolate and sweet up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a chocolate-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, rust-colored hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Mekong is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in around 8 weeks and performing well 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 Mekong family — see Mekong High and Cambodia Mekong River Delta for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
