Macs Gone Bananas
Also known as: Mac Gone Bananas, MGB
Macs Gone Bananas Strain Overview
Macs Gone Bananas is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, created by crossing two popular modern cultivars: Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) and Banana Punch. The strain represents a fusion of two distinct genetic lineages, combining the cerebral effects and complex terpene profile of MAC with the tropical fruit flavors and relaxing properties of Banana Punch. Breeders sought to create a strain that maintained MAC's potency and trichome production while enhancing the fruity flavor profile and adding more indica-leaning physical effects.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a striking appearance characterized by vibrant green coloration accented by purple and orange pistils. The nugs are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a shimmering, crystalline appearance that reflects its MAC heritage. Macs Gone Bananas has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, though it remains less widely available than its parent strains.
Notable features include its pronounced banana and tropical fruit aromas combined with the gassy, chemical notes characteristic of MAC genetics. The strain's effects are typically described as well-balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its high THC content and appealing flavor profile have made it particularly popular in the premium cannabis market, though consistent phenotypes can be challenging to find due to genetic variability.

Macs Gone Bananas is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining stable environmental conditions, as the strain can be sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. The plants benefit from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support dense bud development.
