Mary Jane
Mary Jane
Also known as: Mary OG
Overview
Mary Jane is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that represents both a distinct cultivar and a homage to the classic slang term for cannabis. The strain is a cross of OG Kush and an unknown high indica hybrid strain, though there's an actual strain named after our favorite lady. Unlike marquee cultivars with widely documented pedigrees, Mary Jane's genetic story is fragmented, with at least two common versions: one with OG Kush influence that leans slightly indica, and another with Haze-Skunk ancestry that leans slightly sativa. Both present as modern hybrids with strong trichome density and citrus-pine aromatics, reinforced by aroma and terpene data that often lean toward bright limonene and balancing caryophyllene.
Mary Jane buds have small round piecey olive green nugs with furry amber hairs. In the Kush-leaning cut, expect tighter internodes, darker foliage, and denser golf-ball to egg-shaped buds. Across North American markets, Mary Jane is generally presented as a balanced or slightly sativa-leaning hybrid with bright, approachable aromas and a versatile effect profile. By the late 2010s, Mary Jane began appearing on menus in multiple legal states, often grouped alongside approachable hybrids like Blue Dream and Sunset Sherbet, fitting consumer demand by offering familiar citrus-pine sweetness and mid-to-strong potency levels.

Growing Information
Indoors, Mary Jane commonly yields 400–550 g per square meter in dialed-in rooms, with SCROG installations sometimes reaching 550–650 g. Outdoors, yields of 1.0–2.5 kg per plant are realistic in large containers. Mary Jane behaves like a modern hybrid with vigor in veg and moderate stretch in early bloom. Growers should anticipate 1.5–2.0x stretch after flip for the Haze-leaning cut and 1.2–1.6x for the Kush-leaning cut. Flowering time is approximately 8 weeks with above average yield. Growers often stabilize the canopy by topping and training in week 3–4 of veg to keep both expressions manageable indoors. Risk factors include susceptibility to powdery mildew and botrytis under humid conditions and a potential for stretch that requires training. Highly suggested for beginners. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate nutrient requirements.
