Maui Mac Nut
Also known as: Mac Nut, Maui Macnut
Maui Mac Nut Strain Overview
Maui Mac Nut is an exotic, dessert-forward hybrid that blends tropical brightness with a creamy, nutty backbone. The name nods to Hawai'i's signature macadamia nuts and hints at a lineage that marries classic island genetics to modern dessert cultivars. In most markets, the cut is talked about as a Maui Wowie x MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) cross, yielding a sativa-leaning profile with dense resin and boutique flavors. Maui Mac Nut emerged in the early-to-mid 2020s as breeders sought to fuse heirloom tropical profiles with modern high-resin dessert lines. The name immediately resonated, especially in West Coast and Hawai'i-adjacent markets where macadamia culture is iconic. Boutique growers adopted the cultivar as a connoisseur jar aimed at enthusiasts who chase both flavor and bag appeal. While Maui Mac Nut is not as ubiquitous as its famous parent Maui Wowie, it occupies the same sunny, upbeat lane—only with heftier trichome coverage and richer mouthfeel. The strain inherits the best characteristics from both parent strains: the energetic, tropical sweetness from Maui Wowie and the dense, resinous structure with creamy dessert flavors from MAC. The lineage is documented as a cross between Maui Skunk Dog x MAC, creating a balanced cultivar that appeals to both recreational users seeking uplifting effects and cultivators wanting impressive bag appeal.

Maui Mac Nut Strain Growing Information
Maui Mac Nut generally grows as a sativa-leaning hybrid with improved calyx stacking and resin density from the MAC side. This cultivar enjoys warm, sunny climates with steady breezes—very much in line with its island ancestry. Plant after last frost; provide wind staking and caterpillar protection (BT sprays, exclusion net) during flower. In humid regions, maintain aggressive pruning, ground-level sanitation, and consider rain covers near harvest to evade botrytis. The strain shows moderate difficulty for cultivation, inheriting some of the challenging traits from its MAC lineage while maintaining the hardiness of its Hawaiian genetics. Flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks, with outdoor harvest in early October. The plant responds well to training techniques and produces dense, resinous buds with excellent bag appeal. Indoor yields are solid when environmental conditions are properly maintained, particularly temperature and humidity control.
