Margoot by Green Devil Genetics
Margoot is a sativa-dominant cultivar developed by Green Devil Genetics, first appearing in the late 2010s. It is recognized for its energetic effects and a bright, citrus-forward aroma profile. The breeder focuses on vigorous, terpene-rich lines suitable for various cultivation environments.
Appearance and Morphology
Margoot plants are typically tall with a columnar structure, featuring widely spaced internodes and narrow leaf fingers. The buds are medium in density, often elongated and foxtail-shaped, with significant trichome coverage on bracts and sugar leaves. Pistils mature to a burnt orange or copper hue, creating a visual contrast against the frosty calyxes.
The bract-to-leaf ratio is generally favorable, contributing to efficient trimming. This morphology promotes good airflow, which can be advantageous in preventing mold issues, especially in humid conditions.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Margoot is characterized by bright lemon-lime zest, complemented by sweet herbal undertones and a subtle pine note. Some detect effervescent, green qualities reminiscent of crushed citrus rind and a hint of mango. When the flowers are broken apart, a sharper aroma emerges, described by some as lemongrass and white pepper.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, with initial bright lemon and lime notes evolving into herbal sweetness, akin to lemongrass tea. The exhale introduces a dry pine and white pepper sensation, providing a lingering freshness. Properly flushed and cured, the mouthfeel is smooth with a cooling sensation.
Effects
Margoot is known for providing an energetic uplift, making it a popular choice for daytime use. Its sativa-dominant genetics suggest a stimulating experience that can enhance focus and creativity. Consumers often report a clear-headed and uplifting sensation.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Aggregated grower tests indicate that Margoot commonly possesses total terpene content between 1.5% and 3.5% by dry weight. Key terpenes frequently identified include terpinolene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, with ocimene and beta-pinene appearing as secondary contributors. THC levels typically range from 15% to 25%, with CBD content below 1%.
Cultivation
Margoot is noted for its vigor and adaptability, thriving in both indoor and greenhouse settings. Its sativa-dominant structure results in significant stretching after the light cycle flip, requiring attention to training and canopy management. The flowering period is often around 10 weeks indoors.
The plant's morphology, with its open structure and elongated calyxes, supports better airflow and potentially reduces the risk of mold. This makes it a viable option for growers in humid climates. Yields are generally considered good, with efficient trimming contributing to overall cultivation value.
Origins and Lineage
Developed by Green Devil Genetics, Margoot is described as a mostly sativa cultivar. While the exact parentage has not been publicly disclosed by the breeder, its characteristics suggest potential links to families like Jack Herer and Dutch Treat based on phenotype inference and trait clustering. The strain first gained recognition in the late 2010s.
The breeding process involved several filial generations to stabilize its structure and aromatic consistency, a process that typically spans 24 to 36 months for small-batch programs. Its development has focused on creating terpene-forward and vigorous plants.
