Also known as: MAC N Jack, Mac and Jack, MAC & Jack
Mac N’ Jack Strain Overview
Mac N’ Jack is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of two popular strains: Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) and Jack Herer. The strain represents a deliberate attempt to combine the cerebral, creative effects of Jack Herer with the potent, trichome-rich characteristics of MAC. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources attribute its development to breeders seeking to create a versatile strain with broad appeal.
The strain is visually distinctive, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a striking contrast between deep purple and vibrant green hues, often accented by fiery orange pistils. The buds are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a glittering appearance that hints at their potency. Mac N’ Jack has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
Notable features include its relatively consistent growth patterns and its reputation as a reliable producer of high-quality cannabis. The strain has become increasingly available in legal markets, though it remains more common in certain regions than others. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, contributing to its steady popularity among cannabis enthusiasts.

Mac N’ Jack Strain Growing Information
Mac N’ Jack is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over its moderate height (plants usually reach 100-150 cm indoors). Outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 180-200 cm in ideal conditions. Mac N’ Jack prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
