Growing Information
Most growers consider Mac Daddy more difficult to cultivate than other strains, but it produces high yields with the right conditions and care. The plants grow best indoors and flower within 8-9 weeks, with some sources citing approximately 58 days flowering time. Indoors, it reaches heights of 30 to 60 inches, while outdoors it can grow taller, up to 60 to 80 inches. Both environments yield generously, with potential yields indoors reaching up to 400 grams per square meter and outdoors around 400 grams per plant. The strain thrives in conditions similar to the Mediterranean climate, preferring moderate temperatures and humidity levels. The plant blooms big and requires topping to control its voracious growth, and SOG or SCROG methods can boost yields even further.
