Mau-Mau is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of Killa Queen. This specimen is known for a moderately difficult cultivation process, successfully yielding high results in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can anticipate a flowering cycle of approximately 60 days before the plants reach maturity.
The chemical profile of Mau-Mau is characterized by a complex terpene hierarchy led by caryophyllene, pinene, and humulene, followed by myrcene, limonene, beta-pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, linalool, eucalyptol, nerolidol, camphene, ocimene, and terpinolene. This specific arrangement of aromatic compounds defines the sensory experience, balancing spicy, woody, and balsamic notes with secondary citrus and herbal undertones.
Consuming this THC-dominant strain promotes a state of being relaxed, calm, and focused. These effects make the cultivar suitable for individuals seeking support with pain, stress, and sleep. Beyond its primary applications, Mau-Mau has established a notable genetic legacy through its inclusion in the lineage of progeny such as Choke Berry and Krakatoa.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
