McTwist
McTwist Strain Overview
McTwist is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, but it appears to have been developed by crossing two potent parent strains to create a balanced yet powerful hybrid. The name 'McTwist' references the complex, twisting effects that users report experiencing, which combine both cerebral and physical sensations in a distinctive progression.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that give the flowers a shimmering appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. McTwist's buds are known for their sticky resin production and compact structure, making them popular among concentrate producers. The strain's rarity means it's not widely available in commercial markets but has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique effect profile.
Notable characteristics include a complex aromatic profile that combines fuel-like undertones with sweeter, fruitier notes. The flavor experience often begins with earthy, diesel-forward notes that transition to more citrus and berry tones on the exhale. McTwist's effects are typically described as initially cerebral and uplifting before settling into a more relaxed, body-focused sensation, creating what users call the 'twisting' experience that gives the strain its name.

McTwist Strain Growing Information
McTwist is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are 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-like climates with consistent warmth and low humidity. Plants tend to stay medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support during flowering as the heavy buds may cause branches to bend or break. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
