McFly
Also known as: McFly OG
McFly Strain Overview
McFly is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders. What is known suggests it emerged in the early 2010s, likely on the West Coast of the United States, as part of the ongoing hybridization efforts to create strains with specific therapeutic and recreational properties. The name 'McFly' is a reference to the character Marty McFly from the 'Back to the Future' film series, possibly alluding to the strain's time-altering effects or its journey through cannabis genetics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange or amber pistils weave through the foliage. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, indicating high cannabinoid and terpene content. McFly plants tend to have a moderate branching structure with broad leaves characteristic of its indica heritage.
Notable features of McFly include its complex aroma and flavor profile, which combines earthy, citrus, and diesel notes. The strain is known for providing a balanced high that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, McFly has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics. The strain's rarity means that verified information is limited, and phenotypes may vary significantly between different growers and seed banks.

McFly Strain Growing Information
McFly is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. McFly plants tend to stay at a medium height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. Some phenotypes may require support during late flowering due to heavy bud development. The plants respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with many growers reporting enhanced terpene production in organic soil grows.
