Banana MAC is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from Banana Kush. Requiring a moderate level of grower expertise, this cultivar thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle. Its genetic influence is evident in several notable offspring, including Sweet Pea, Macs Gone Bananas, and Red Banana Pudding.
The terpene profile of Banana MAC is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by the predominance of limonene, beta-pinene, pinene, caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, terpinolene, and humulene. This range of aromatic compounds creates a distinctive sensory experience for the user.
As a THC-dominant cultivar with 25.4% THC, 0.03% CBD, and 0.29% CBG, Banana MAC is utilized primarily for its ability to induce states of relaxation and focus. These effects make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from pain, stress, or difficulty with sleep. The strain is recognized for its impact, providing a consistent experience that translates to its ongoing presence within its genetic lineage.

pine
●●○○
Beta form of pinene. Piney, woody aroma. Bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory properties similar to alpha-pinene.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
