Martian Mean Green (often abbreviated as MMG) is an award-winning, sativa-dominant hybrid strain developed by DNA Genetics. It gained massive fame in the mid-2000s after winning the High Times Cup for "Best Sativa" in 2005.
Known for its pungent, "spacey" aroma and heavy resin production, it is a favorite among connoisseurs who enjoy a cerebral, psychedelic high.
Genetics & Lineage
The strain is a cross between two powerhouse parents:
* Sharksbreath: A DNA Genetics flagship known for its heavy yield and -leaning traits.
* G13 Haze: A legendary sativa-leaning male (sourced from the breeder Soma) that provides the strain’s intense cerebral effects.
Effects & Experience
Despite its sativa dominance (60% Sativa / 40% ), Martian Mean Green is famous for a "creeper" effect that starts with a rush of euphoria and transitions into a deep, consciousness-altering experience.
* The High: Energetic, uplifting, and creative, but can become intensely psychedelic or "spacey" at higher doses.
* Best Used For: Daytime activities, stress relief, depression, and sparking creativity.
* Levels: Typically ranges from 15% to 24%.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The terpene profile is dominated by Terpinolene, Pinene, and Myrcene, giving it a very distinct "old school" funk.
* Scent: Pungent, spicy, and "veggie" with strong notes of fermented fruit and swampy earth.
* Taste: A complex blend of sweet citrus (like grapefruit), herbal tea, and spicy sandalwood.
Growing Traits
* Growth Pattern: Interestingly, it grows more like an —short and bushy with one main central cola—but has the internal structure of a sativa.
* Flowering Time: Usually 9 to 10 weeks.
* Yield: Moderate to high (approx. 500–600g/m² indoors).
* Visuals: The buds are often described as "scary hairy" due to an abundance of bright orange pistils and a thick, opalescent coating of resin.
