Black Maui
Black Maui
Overview
Black Maui is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain created by SnowHigh Seeds through a crossbreeding project that began in 2009. This strain represents a unique "double dose of Hawaiian genetics" by combining a 1976 Maui Wowie clone (believed to be from Eddy Lepp's stock) with Black Forest, itself a Maui Wowie-based hybrid created from Vietnam Black and Hawaiian Cherry Bomb. The result is a vigorous, large plant that exhibits the classic Christmas tree shape with extensive branching and numerous bud sites. Black Maui showcases the enhanced vigor typical of hybrid strains while maintaining strong sativa-dominant characteristics. The buds are notably resinous for a sativa strain, featuring sweet and spicy aromas with subtle citrus notes. This strain requires a longer flowering period of 11-14 weeks, reflecting its strong sativa heritage. Black Maui delivers a very trippy, cerebral high with long-lasting and energetic effects that can be quite intense. The strain represents a preservation effort of classic Hawaiian genetics, combining traditional island cannabis culture with modern breeding techniques to create a potent and flavorful cultivar that honors its tropical heritage.

Growing Information
Black Maui is a vigorous grower that develops into a very large plant with the characteristic Christmas tree shape and extensive branching. Each branch produces numerous bud sites, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The flowering time is 11-14 weeks (approximately 77-98 days), typical of strong sativa-dominant strains. Plants can reach considerable height and may require support structures due to the weight of resinous buds. For indoor cultivation, growers should start flowering plants smaller than typical due to significant stretch. The strain produces heavy yields for a sativa and is notably resistant to common issues. Outdoor cultivation is preferred where climate permits due to the long flowering period.
