Pure Michigan Genetic Lineage: OREOS X MENDO BREATH

Pure Michigan is a rare indica dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the potent Oreoz X Mendo breath strains.

Infamous for its super high level of potency, Pure Michigan is one delicious bud that will leave any indica lover feeling totally satisfied in both mind and body. This bud has a sweet and slightly spicy nutty chocolate flavour with a lightly creamy vanilla exhale. The aroma is very similar, with a sweet mocha coffee overtone accented by touches of earthy pungency and spicy nuttiness.

The Pure Michigan high is just as delicious, with calming and soothing effects that will leave you feeling happy and lifted for hours on end. You’ll feel happy and creative in this state, socially inspired and ready to carry on conversations with anyone and everyone around you with ease.

A calming body high accompanies this heady lift, leaving you feeling fully relaxed from head to toe and slightly sleepy at times. In combination with its high 20% + average THC level, these effects make Pure Michigan a great choice for treating conditions such as depression, chronic stress, eye pressure or glaucoma, insomnia and headaches or migraines. This bud has fluffy grape-shaped olive green nugs with purple undertones, thin red-orange hairs and a coating of tiny purple-tinted white crystal trichomes.

Growing Pure Michigan

She displays a quintessentially indica growing pattern. Plants are medium in height but extremely bushy—the result of robust lateral growth and close branching. While her canopy requires frequent defoliation to allow for proper light penetration, this morphology lends itself to stealthy growing operations.

Regarding flower structure, this strain produces dense and compact colas laden with sugar leaves. However, under some growing conditions, Pure Michigan will produce larger but more airy flowers. Although bigger, they’re less dense and look less impressive after trimming and drying.

Pure Michigan buds are considerably frosty. Their massive THC content wouldn’t be possible without such an unusual trichome density. Together, these glands work overtime to churn out large quantities of THC and accompanying aromatic terpenes. Pure Michigan starts out as a deep green shade. During late flowering, however, plants start to develop hues of orange and purple.

Thanks to her hardy genetics, Pure Michigan grows well in a wide variety of environments. Her compact stature also makes her a popular choice for growers with limited room to cultivate weed. Indoors, plants peak at around 70cm and produce up to 550g/m² after a brief flowering phase of 56–63 days.

Plants reach a slightly taller height of 100cm outdoors when grown in raised beds or directly in the ground. Transplant seedlings into a sunny position for the best results. Amend your plot with plenty of organic matter, such as aged compost, to enhance the fertility of your growing medium and the productivity of your plants

The Effects

Purple Michigan hits hard and fast. It takes little more than a couple of hits for smokers with a low tolerance to feel her full effect. Even experienced smokers with an elevated tolerance will find that they need to inhale substantially less compared to other varieties. Joints and blunts offer a more controlled way of experiencing Pure Michigan. However, some smokers might enjoy hitting large bong bowls, or even consuming edibles made with these buds, for a far more pronounced effect.

Regarding aroma and flavour, Pure Michigan is generally described as fruity and citrusy with a hint of ammonia! This latter note may seem odd or unappealing, but many stoners find it enjoyable. It’s worth noting that some smokers pick up on hints of vanilla and coffee in these buds as well, making for a truly complex flavour profile.

Overall, the huge quantities of THC and stoning terpenes in Pure Michigan buds make her a strain suited for quiet evenings at home. She certainly doesn’t do much to keep smokers productive in the daytime, and will even tilt users toward a state of introversion at parties and social gatherings. Most users enjoy these buds while watching a film, listening to music, or shortly before bed.

Medicinal application

While many cannabis users smoke Pure Michigan for its recreational effects, some medical marijuana patients use this cultivar to address the symptoms of certain health issues. For example, medical cannabis patients with anxiety, pain, and sleep issues may choose to experiment with Pure Michigan. Though mild, Pure Michigan is capable of causing side effects, including lethargy, paranoia and anxiety (in higher doses), and dizziness.
