Apple MAC is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Trophy Wife and Mac 1. This cultivar reflects its sophisticated lineage by combining the structural and resinous traits of its parent genetics into a stable, high-yielding plant. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of 63 days, with the strain demonstrating moderate growing difficulty that is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments.
The aromatic profile of Apple MAC is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes. This chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, where the earthy and herbaceous notes of myrcene are balanced by the spicy, grounded undertones of caryophyllene and the bright, citrus-forward finish of limonene. These terpenes work in concert to produce a distinct flavor profile that mirrors its sophisticated olfactory scent.
Regarded as a THC-dominant cultivar with approximately 25 percent THC and 0.13 percent CBD, Apple MAC typically induces effects categorized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, while also serving as a viable option for those looking to manage sleep-related concerns. Currently, there are no recorded notable offspring for this strain, keeping its place in the modern hybrid landscape focused primarily on its original genetic pairing.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
