MAC-3 Weed
Miracle Alien Cookies × Alien Cookies × Colombian Landrace × Starfighter
MAC 3 is a distinct phenotype within the acclaimed Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) family, recognized for its dense resin production and a balanced aroma profile. This hybrid offers an uplifting yet relaxing experience, building upon the core traits that made the original MAC lineage popular.
Appearance and Bud Structure
MAC 3 flowers are characterized by their dense, compact structure, often resembling golf balls or eggs. They are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted, almost silvery appearance when cultivated optimally. The buds typically display lime to forest green coloration, sometimes with streaks of lavender, and are interspersed with orange pistils.
Aroma and Flavor
This strain presents a complex aroma and flavor profile, primarily described as citrus-floral. Enthusiasts note notes of citrus, with undertones that can include creamy, earthy, herbal, and floral elements, reminiscent of lavender. The overall experience is often considered clean and palate-pleasing.
Effects
MAC 3 is reported to deliver an uplifting and euphoric experience, often accompanied by a sense of focus. While providing mental clarity, it also offers a deeply relaxing physical sensation, creating a balanced effect that is both stimulating and calming.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, MAC 3 is known for its high resin content, often correlating with elevated terpene levels. Key terpenes identified include Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene, contributing to its distinct aroma and effects. THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Origins and Lineage
MAC 3 is a later selection derived from the original Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) project, bred by Capulator. The MAC lineage itself is a cross of Alien Cookies, a Colombian landrace, and Starfighter. MAC 3 is considered a refined phenotype within this established family, aiming to enhance resin density and flavor clarity.
Cultivation
MAC 3 is noted for potentially having a more manageable growth habit compared to some other MAC phenotypes. It is generally expected to have a flowering time in the range of 9 to 10 weeks. The strain is prized for its high resin output and robust trichome coverage when grown under optimal conditions.
