Maui-O
Also known as: Maui O, Maui O.G., Maui OG
Maui-O Strain Overview
Maui-O is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated from the Hawaiian island of Maui. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing a classic Hawaiian sativa with an OG Kush variety, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to the informal breeding practices common in Hawaii's cannabis culture. The name references both its geographic origin and its OG Kush heritage, with the 'O' standing for 'OG' rather than representing the letter 'O' alone. This strain has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its tropical characteristics and balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
Visually, Maui-O typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, elongated structure characteristic of sativa-dominant varieties. The flowers display vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may develop under cooler growing conditions. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast against the green background. The strain's aroma is distinctly tropical, with prominent notes of citrus, mango, and pineapple complemented by earthy undertones and a subtle diesel-like quality inherited from its OG Kush parentage.
Maui-O is particularly noted for its balanced effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral buzz before transitioning to a gentle body relaxation. Users often describe the experience as euphoric and creative without being overwhelming, making it suitable for daytime or early evening use. The strain's tropical flavor profile and manageable potency have contributed to its reputation as an approachable hybrid that embodies the laid-back spirit of its Hawaiian origins. While not as widely commercialized as some mainland strains, Maui-O maintains a dedicated following among those who appreciate its unique combination of island genetics and modern hybrid characteristics.

Maui-O Strain Growing Information
Maui-O is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under ideal conditions. This strain prefers a warm, sunny climate similar to its Hawaiian origins and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it may struggle in cooler climates. Plants tend to grow tall with sativa-like structure, often reaching 5-7 feet outdoors, so height management techniques may be necessary for indoor cultivation. Maui-O is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation and careful nutrient management.
