Maui Waterfall
Maui Waterfall Strain Overview
Maui Waterfall is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines the tropical genetics of its Hawaiian heritage with modern breeding techniques. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is widely believed to be a cross between the classic Hawaiian sativa Maui Wowie and an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, possibly a Waterfall phenotype or a strain with similar aromatic properties. This combination creates a plant that captures the uplifting, cerebral qualities of its sativa lineage while incorporating the physical relaxation typically associated with indica varieties.
The strain is named for its distinctive appearance and aromatic profile. The buds are typically dense and conical, with a structure that leans slightly sativa. They exhibit vibrant green coloration often accented by deep purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of frosty trichomes covers the flowers, giving them a glistening, "waterfall"-like appearance. The most notable feature is its complex aroma, which blends sweet, tropical fruit notes with earthy, herbal undertones and a sharp, piney finish.
Maui Waterfall has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its well-rounded effects and unique flavor profile. It is considered a moderately potent strain that provides a balanced experience, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain's tropical heritage is evident in its growth patterns, which can show some sativa-like stretching, and in its terpene profile that emphasizes fruity, citrus-forward compounds. While not as historically documented as some classic strains, Maui Waterfall has established itself in certain cannabis communities as a reliable hybrid with distinctive characteristics.

Maui Waterfall Strain Growing Information
Maui Waterfall is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. They exhibit hybrid growth patterns with moderate height increase during flowering, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors with optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a warm, semi-humid climate similar to its Hawaiian heritage and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Outdoor cultivation is recommended in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent warmth. Plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Maui Waterfall is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly in humid conditions. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and may exhibit color changes (purpling) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
