MAC and Cheese is a modern indica strain derived from the genetics of Miracle Alien Cookies. This cultivar is recognized for its accessible cultivation requirements, offering growers a medium yield while thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering cycle completed in approximately 60 days, it is suitable for cultivators of all skill levels seeking a reliable production cycle.
The terpene profile of this strain is headlined by a dominant presence of caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, humulene, and limonene, with secondary notes consisting of bisabolol, linalool, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, and finally pinene. This complex chemical architecture dictates the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic blend that reflects these specific compounds.
Upon consumption, this THC-dominant strain, testing at 18.9% THC, delivers a suite of effects characterized by feelings of relaxation and focus. These properties make it a functional choice for those managing pain, stress, or sleep-related concerns. Its genetic influence is extensive, serving as the foundation for numerous notable offspring, including Candied Grapefruit, Hype Train, Supreme, Blueberry MAC Muffin, Grapefruit Wizard, Sour Lemon MAC, Tinkerdick Quall, Vanilla Cheesecake, Bling Cheesecake, Garlic Cream Cheese, Mac 'n Cheese, and Morinaga Cheese.
