Menthol Mac
Also known as: Menthol MAC, Menthol Miracle Alien Cookies
Menthol Mac Strain Overview
Menthol Mac is a hybrid cannabis strain developed as a phenotype selection from the popular Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) lineage. This particular expression emphasizes the minty, cooling terpene profile that gives the strain its distinctive name. While the exact breeding timeline is not widely documented, Menthol Mac emerged from the broader MAC family that was originally created by breeder Capulator through crossing Alien Cookies with a hybrid of Starfighter and Columbian landrace genetics.
The strain is characterized by its unique aromatic profile that combines the gassy, earthy notes typical of MAC varieties with pronounced menthol and mint undertones. Visually, Menthol Mac typically displays dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives the flowers a silver-white appearance. The coloration often includes deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils, particularly when grown in cooler temperatures. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making this strain popular among concentrate producers.
Notably, Menthol Mac maintains the balanced hybrid effects of its parent strain while offering a distinctive sensory experience through its cooling flavor profile. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and among connoisseurs for its unique terpene expression and potent effects. While not as widely available as the original MAC, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis markets, particularly in legal states where phenotype hunting is common practice.

Menthol Mac Strain Growing Information
Menthol Mac is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8-10 weeks indoors. Plants tend to be medium in height with a somewhat bushy structure, requiring regular pruning and training to optimize light penetration and airflow. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor cultivation is possible in temperate climates with a harvest window around mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper humidity control to prevent mold issues, especially given the dense bud structure.
