History & Genetics

Anyone who has experienced the beauty of the MAC strain will be pleased to know that Capulator’s genetics are still going strong. Some say that MAC 1 is a backcross of her original namesake while others claim that MAC, also known as Miracle Alien Cookies, was crossed with Starfighter and a Columbian landrace. To be honest, we’re not so concerned about how she got here, because what really matters is just how amazing her effects are said to be.

MAC 1 comes in a bit stronger than her predecessor with a high of 23% THC that reportedly packs a huge punch. Rumor has it that some dispensaries even stock their shelves with varieties that reach into the 30% range.

Appearance, Aroma & Flavor

Nugs are incredibly dense and so thickly covered with trichomes that you can barely see her green and purple hues beneath. Both flavors and aromas here aren’t for the faint of heart, as MAC 1 comes through with a strong sour diesel note that’s accented by citrus and spicy herbs.

Effects

If you’ve smoked MAC before, just imagine MAC 1 as her new and improved version. Users note that this strain offers a strong one-two punch of both cerebral and physical effects, making her ideal for a late afternoon or early evening smoke session. Initially, many describe their experience as one that’s intensely euphoric, as just a few tokes are said to bring people to the happiest mental state they’ve experienced in a long time. For some, creativity and focus might flourish for a short while before her indica side inevitably kicks in. Depending on your tolerance, you might feel physically relaxed with MAC 1 or you could end up glued to the couch before falling asleep.

This strain is a very well-balanced hybrid, making her a great choice for medical users. It’s likely that you’ll find relief from depression and anxiety thanks to her cerebral boost, and if you struggle with physical pain including migraines, muscle issues, or joint concerns, a few puffs have the potential to ease your woes for hours. During your comedown, don’t be surprised if MAC 1 brings the munchies to your doorstep, making this bud a smart choice for those with appetite issues.

Growing

By all accounts, MAC 1 sounds like one of the more perfect strains on the market, and it’s perfectly reasonable to want to grow her yourself at home. The tricky part is that while Capulator attempts to stay relatively unknown, there seems to be no shortage of growing operations including MAC 1 in their lineup. Getting your hands on seeds, however, is a different story. At this time, even the best internet sleuths cannot find MAC 1 seeds for purchase, so you might want to inquire with your favorite budtender to see if they have additional details.

Those who can handle pungent diesel strains will no doubt want to include MAC 1 in their regular lineup, as this bud offers a great balance between sativa and hybrid effects. Depending on your tolerance and the potency of the nugs you buy, consider experimenting with the time of day you smoke and see where she best fits into your day to day routine.
