Magic Johnson
Magic Johnson
Overview
Magic Johnson is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid strain (75% sativa/25% indica) created through crossing the classic Durban Poison and The White strains. Named after the legendary basketball player, this strain was developed by gLeaf, a cannabis company from Virginia. The strain is known for its exceptionally high potency, with some batches reaching up to 40% THCA, making it suitable primarily for experienced cannabis users rather than beginners. Magic Johnson has gained recognition for its distinctive appearance, featuring super frosty, fluffy forest green heart-shaped nugs with bright orange hairs scattered throughout, creating an appealing visual presentation. The strain's complex terpene profile is dominated by terpinolene, which is unusual as this terpene rarely takes the lead role in most cannabis varieties. This unique terpene composition contributes to the strain's distinctive aroma and effects, setting it apart from other hybrids in the market.

Growing Information
Magic Johnson can be grown both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level suitable for newer growers. The strain requires 52-61 days to flower (7.5-8.5 weeks) with harvesting typically beginning around 62 days after germination. Indoor yields can range from 1-2 oz per square foot, while outdoor cultivation can produce 10-15 oz per plant. The plants are not exceptionally tall, typically reaching heights of 30-60 inches in any growing environment. This makes it manageable for indoor cultivation while still providing decent yields for outdoor growers.
