How to grow Mac
Taste
Seb's take
Alien Cookies crossed with a hybrid male whose identity Herbies keeps to itself — one imagines a very secretive filing cabinet. Pepper, citrus and orange sit over a buttery, flowery base; the high runs relaxed and happy but tips into giggly, tingly euphoria. Compact in stature, generous in yield — she does not do things by halves.
Where it comes from
Herbies crossed Alien Cookies with a hybrid male whose identity it keeps firmly to itself — one imagines a very secretive filing cabinet somewhere. Mac has all the traits an indica admirer looks for in both the plant and the smoke: a compact stature paired with, the record claims, record-breaking yields. Quantity aside, the quality is meant to match. A pedigree half-named and half-guarded, then, but the results speak for the half it withholds.
Nose & flavour
A layered nose: pepper and citrus at the top, orange brightening it, over a flowery, buttery, earthy base. More going on here than most, the spice and the citrus playing against the softer, creamier notes underneath. A rich, rounded profile that rewards a slow inhale — bright and savoury and soft all at once.
The high
Relaxed and happy to begin, tipping into giggly, tingly euphoria as it settles, uplifted throughout — a lighthearted effect that lifts before it grounds. A broad, pleasant character rather than a heavy one, the sort that leaves you cheerful rather than sunk. Company that keeps its good humour from start to finish.
Growing it
Flowering takes 63 days, the plant reaching 110 to 130cm, with a heavy 641 g/m² yield and THC recorded at 25 to 27%. Compact in stature yet, the record insists, record-breaking in yield — she provides the owners of tight grow spaces with more bud than they can use up. That combination is the whole appeal: a modest footprint returning a generous harvest, and top-shelf quality with it. A plant that does not do things by halves.
