MAC V1 x GG4
MAC V1 x GG4 is a modern hybrid cannabis variety developed by crossing the MAC V1 and GG4 lineages. This strain has demonstrated a consistent genetic profile suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a moderate difficulty level during the 63-day flowering period, which ultimately results in a high yield. This pairing has proven to be a robust genetic foundation, evidenced by its role in producing notable offspring such as Neon Monster Cookiez and Radioactive Rodent.
The chemical composition of this cultivar is defined by a complex terpene profile led by caryophyllene, p-cymene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary contributions from humulene, myrcene, nerolidol, bisabolol, linalool, beta-pinene, and pinene add further nuance, while minor traces of isopulegol, valencene, terpinolene, alpha-terpinene, camphene, borneol, ocimene, guaiol, eucalyptol, gamma-terpinene, sabinene, caryophyllene-oxide, and geraniol round out the aromatic experience. This extensive range of secondary metabolites provides a layered sensory profile that is characteristic of its diverse genetic heritage.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, MAC V1 x GG4 is reported to induce effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These primary effects make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, while the relaxing onset is frequently utilized as an aid for sleep. Its status as a hybrid continues to influence the development of modern cannabis genetics, serving as a parent for contemporary projects.

spicy
●●○○
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.
Herbal, woody-citrus aroma. Common in cumin and thyme. Mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
