What is the MAC strain?
MAC is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
MAC, an acronym for Miracle Alien Cookies, is a hybrid cannabis strain meticulously bred by renowned breeder Capulator from a complex three-way cross of Alien Cookies, Colombian landrace, and Starfighter genetics. The strain's unique origin story involves seeds that survived a washing machine accident, with only one male dubbed "Miracle 15" surviving to pollinate an Alien Cookies female, giving rise to the "miraculous" nature reflected in its name. This carefully crafted hybrid maintains an approximately 50% indica and 50% sativa genetic composition, providing a balanced blend of uplifting and relaxing effects.
MAC's buds are visually stunning, typically displaying dense, round mint-green nugs often flecked with deep purple hues, sparse bright-orange hairs, and an abundance of milky white trichomes that create an almost frost-covered appearance. The strain features a smooth orange flavor balanced by floral accents on a sweet, earthy finish, with pronounced pepper, citrus, and flowery notes. Often referred to as "MAC 1" (particularly "Cap's Cut"), this clone-only variant has gained an almost cult-like reputation for its exceptional quality. MAC's legendary status was validated when it won the High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Hybrid Flower in 2018, cementing its place in cannabis history.
