Mendo Montage
Mendo Montage
Overview
Mendo Montage is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created through a collaboration between Gage Green Genetics and legendary breeder Jojorizo (RIP 2007). This strain was developed by crossing the classic Mendocino Purps with Crystal Locomotive F1, a rare hybrid of Trainwreck and Aloha White Widow. The breeding project involved careful selection from 12 Mendo Purp females paired with a stellar Crystal Locomotive male, resulting in a strain that maintains genetic stability while offering both recreational and medicinal appeal.
The strain is known for its visually striking appearance, featuring tight grape-shaped forest green nugs adorned with light lavender undertones and clear crystal trichomes. The buds display rich purple hues reminiscent of their Mendo Purps lineage, creating a frosty, resinous coating that contrasts beautifully with the dark purple leaf surfaces. Despite its moderate THC content averaging 14-17%, Mendo Montage delivers surprisingly potent effects that belie its seemingly modest cannabinoid profile.
With its balanced 50/50 indica-sativa genetics and 8-9 week flowering time, Mendo Montage has become a foundation strain for many breeding projects. Gage Green Genetics has used this cultivar to create numerous offspring strains, including the popular Mendo Breath series. The strain's reputation for producing high-quality, medicinal cannabis with exceptional bag appeal has made it a favorite among both cultivators and consumers seeking a well-rounded hybrid experience.
