MacIntosh
Also known as: Mac x OMFG
MacIntosh Strain Overview
MacIntosh is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Elev8 Seeds, created by crossing MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) with OMFG genetics. This cultivar combines MAC and OMFG strains, resulting in a balanced hybrid that offers both sativa and indica effects. The strain is distinct from the better-known MAC 1 variety, representing Elev8 Seeds' interpretation of MAC genetics combined with their proprietary OMFG strain. MacIntosh inherits the robust characteristics of its MAC parent, known for its exceptional terpene profile and potent effects, while the OMFG lineage contributes additional complexity to its genetic makeup. The strain beautifully combines the genetics of MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) and Pink Lady, though sources vary on the exact secondary parent strain. The buds are visually striking, producing compact and highly resinous buds with an intense aroma, and are dense and generously coated with trichomes, giving them a shimmering, frosty appearance with vibrant green color accentuated by orange pistils. This strain has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from other MAC derivatives.
