What is the Eastside Mac strain?
Eastside Mac is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and berry flavor profile.
Eastside Mac is a hybrid cannabis strain designed by crossing Eastside OG x Mac #1 and was bred by the cultivator Capulator. This modern hybrid strain is anchored in the celebrated MAC lineage, prized for its dense resin, layered citrus-cookie aromatics, and balanced yet potent effects. Created through crossing two potent strains, Eastside OG and Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC), this strain combines multiple Ocean Grown genetics from the Eastside parent with the particularly strong MAC lineage. Whereas a straight MAC#1 (Capulator cut) might be overwhelming, the balance of the OG strain with this cross keeps users upright. The buds are characterized by dense and oversized, heart-shaped forest green nugs with deep purple undertones, thick red-orange hairs and chunky, amber-tinted white crystal trichomes. This strain is definitely more on the relaxing and euphoric side than a sleeper, which allows for daytime consumption rather than being strictly a nightstand strain.

How do you grow Eastside Mac?
Eastside MAC responds best to stable environments with moderate vigor and a preference for consistent VPD. In vegetative growth, target 0.8 to 1.1 kPa VPD with canopy temperatures of 76 to 80°F and relative humidity of 60 to 70 percent. In early flower, increase VPD to 1.1 to 1.3 kPa, then finish weeks six to nine around 1.3 to 1.5 kPa with 68 to 74°F nights. This schedule preserves terpenes and encourages dense stacking without foxtailing. Flowering time is 65+ days with above average yield.
