Orange Apricot x MAC is a modern hybrid cannabis cultivar produced by crossing Orange Apricot with the well-known MAC. This strain is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering growers a high yield upon the completion of a 63-day flowering cycle. Regarded as a project of moderate difficulty, it serves as the parent to the notable offspring Apricoma.
The terpene profile of this hybrid is dominated by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, myrcene, and linalool. These primary compounds are complemented by a complex secondary and tertiary foundation of beta-pinene, pinene, humulene, nerolidol, ocimene, bisabolol, valencene, and camphene. This combination of terpenes dictates the nuanced aromatic and flavor properties inherent to the cultivar, reflecting a diverse chemical distribution derived from its parental lineage.
As a THC-dominant strain, Orange Apricot x MAC is associated with effects that are consistently reported as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These physiological and psychoactive outcomes make it a frequent choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. Its influence on the modern market is reinforced by its performance in cultivation and its contribution to the genetic development of subsequent varieties like Apricoma.

●●○○
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: 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.
