Smacks
Also known as: Smackers, Smackz, Candy Smacks
Overview
Smacks is a modern, high-potency hybrid cannabis strain that emerged during the 2018-2021 wave of dessert-leaning cultivars. The strain is celebrated for its distinctive candy-gas aroma profile and dense, resin-laden flowers covered in glossy trichomes. Created through crossing Scooby Snacks (known for its playful effects) with MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies), Smacks represents the epitome of contemporary "dessert gas" genetics that blend confectionary sweetness with fuel-forward characteristics. The strain's name serves as both promise and description, hinting at its fast-onset effect profile that consumers consistently describe as immediately noticeable and full-bodied. Smacks typically produces compact, golf-ball to thumb-sized buds with bright orange pistils against a canvas of deep green, showcasing the dense trichome coverage that makes it popular among both flower enthusiasts and concentrate makers. The strain has carved out consistent shelf space in mature legal markets, with consumer ratings frequently ranging between 4.3 and 4.7 out of 5 across dispensary platforms, driven by exceptional bag appeal and potent effects.

Growing Information
Smacks cultivation information is limited due to its boutique breeder origins and varying phenotypes across different regions. The strain appears to be suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with most commercial batches showing characteristics consistent with indoor growing methods. Based on similar genetics in its lineage, growers can expect a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). The plants typically produce dense, resinous flowers with generous trichome production, making them attractive for both flower sales and extraction purposes. Total terpene content commonly ranges from 1.8-3.1%, placing significant demands on proper drying and curing to preserve the complex aromatic profile. Due to the strain's high resin production and dense flower structure, adequate air circulation and humidity control are essential to prevent mold and preserve the candy-gas terpene expression that defines the cultivar.
