Mac Lotus
Also known as: MAC Lotus, Miracle Alien Cookies Lotus
Mac Lotus Strain Overview
Mac Lotus is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two popular modern cultivars: Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) and Lotus. The strain was developed to create a balanced hybrid with the trichome production and complex terpene profile of MAC alongside the calming, focused effects of Lotus. While its exact breeding timeline is not widely documented, Mac Lotus emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to refine the MAC lineage with more consistent effects and enhanced flavor profiles.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica-dominant MAC parent. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant color palette of deep green with occasional purple hues, all covered in a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking appearance. The aroma is complex and layered, combining sweet, fruity notes with earthy, gassy undertones, a signature characteristic inherited from its MAC ancestry.
Mac Lotus has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and manageable growth characteristics. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate the MAC lineage but seek a slightly more balanced experience. The strain represents a continuation of the trend toward refining popular genetics to create new cultivars with specific desirable traits.

Mac Lotus Strain Growing Information
Mac Lotus is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant structure but some sativa-like stretching during flowering. Yield is generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain requires good air circulation and moderate nutrient feeding, being somewhat sensitive to overfeeding. Regular pruning is recommended to manage canopy density and promote bud development. Mac Lotus responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield.
