About Menage
Menage is a compact hybrid bred for early finishing and reliable performance in exposed locations. It combines Skunk vigour with Haze aromatics to deliver mid-to-high THC potency and a citrus-forward terpene profile. The plant suits growers who manage wind exposure and prefer a short flowering window. With moderate yields and straightforward nutrient needs, Menage rewards careful training and sheltered siting.
Menage is a stable hybrid that blends indica density with sativa lift. The plant shows resilience and structure suited to mixed outdoor sites.
Potency sits in the mid to high range for contemporary cultivars. Expect flowers testing around 18–22% THC when grown to full potential.
CBD is low and not a defining feature of this variety. It is bred primarily for recreational potency rather than a high CBD balance.
Menage comes from a Skunk x Haze lineage that balances robustness with aromatic complexity. That parentage explains the brisk flowering and zesty terpene profile.
Seeds are supplied as feminised to ensure predictable female crops for outdoor plantings. They are photoperiod seeds rather than auto-flowering, so growers must manage light cycles and timing.
Difficulty is intermediate and extra attention is required for support and pruning in windy coastal growing areas. Regular training and sturdy staking minimise wind damage and improve bud development.
Flowering finishes relatively quickly for a hybrid at seven to eight weeks. This quicker cycle suits growers who need a compact season.
Yields are moderate but consistent with good nutrition and wind protection. In sheltered plots harvests are reliable and fairly uniform.
Plants remain short to medium with a bushy canopy and dense colas. Outdoors they typically reach around one to two metres when left untrained.
Indoors Menage responds well to SCROG and SOG systems for height control and yield optimisation in Cumbria. Outdoors in Cumbria it performs best in sheltered plots with good sun exposure and wind breaks.
Growing Menage in Cumbria requires planning for windy coastal growing areas and variable Atlantic weather. Use windbreaks, low-profile training and robust support to protect buds along the Cumbrian coast.
Onset is uplifting and cerebral, producing a clear-headed mood boost. That lift eases into a mellow, body-relaxing finish suitable for evening use.
The flavour is citrus-forward with earthy undertones and a faint pine resin backnote. Smokers report a clean, peppered finish that lingers on the palate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
It is better suited to growers with some outdoor experience because wind management and pruning improve results.
Expect seven to eight weeks under good conditions, allowing for a compact and timely harvest window.
A balanced NPK regime with added potassium in late flowering keeps bud development strong.
Install windbreaks, use low-profile training and stake plants early to prevent stem snap and bud damage.
Yes, its seven to eight week flowering period makes Menage a practical choice for short season outdoor cannabis growing, provided you site plants in sheltered, sunny spots.
Seeds are feminised photoperiod types, so they require a change in light schedule to flower and are not automatic.
Common outdoor pests like aphids and caterpillars can appear; regular inspection and organic controls mitigate outbreaks.
Dry slowly in a dark, ventilated space to 55–65% humidity and then cure in jars for several weeks to develop flavour and smoothness.
Yes, it can be grown in large containers with sturdy supports, which also helps when wind is an issue.
A free-draining, loam-based mix enriched with compost gives consistent growth and helps roots cope with coastal exposure.
