MAC Stomper F2 by Sunken Treasure Seeds
MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) × Stomper (Grape-Forward)
Mac Stomper F2 is a hybrid cultivar developed by Sunken Treasure Seeds, designed to enhance the dessert-fruit characteristics found in modern cookie and grape-inspired strains. This second filial generation aims for consistency while still offering diverse phenotypes, resulting in plants with dense flowers and heavy trichome coverage.
Appearance
Mac Stomper F2 typically presents an indica-leaning structure with a compact, bushy frame and thick branches. Its internodes are closely spaced, leading to stacked flower formations resembling batons and clusters. The buds are dense and firm, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies trimming. Coloration can range from green to deep purple hues, often accented by apricot to rust-colored pistils against a backdrop of frosty trichomes.
The plants exhibit significant resin production, with trichomes visible even on smaller buds later in the flowering cycle. Capitate-stalked trichomes are abundant, contributing to the sticky, frosted appearance of the flowers, which are well-suited for both connoisseur flower and concentrate markets.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Mac Stomper F2 is complex, often starting with notes of sweet orange cream and evolving into scents reminiscent of grape soda and candy. Subtle undertones of diesel, floral notes like violets, and hints of vanilla frosting and damp earth can also be detected. Grinding the buds intensifies the grape and fuel-like aromas, with floral high notes becoming more prominent.
On the palate, the flavor mirrors the aroma, with initial tastes of sweet orange cream followed by grape hard candy and floral undertones. Secondary flavors may include vanilla wafer and a mild cocoa or peppery spice. The exhale often leaves a lingering echo of grape soda with a slight diesel sparkle, especially after a proper curing period.
Effects
Mac Stomper F2 is recognized for its relaxing and euphoric effects, often beginning with a creative uplift during the initial hour of consumption. As the effects progress, they tend to transition into a sense of physical comfort, consistent with its indica-leaning heritage. Consumers may experience a happy and uplifting sensation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, Mac Stomper F2 typically falls within the 20–27% THC range, positioning it as a potent option. Total terpene content is generally reported around 1.5–3.0% by weight in comparable modern hybrids. Key terpenes that contribute to its aroma and flavor profile include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, with Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene also potentially present.
Growing
Mac Stomper F2 is described as a sturdier, bushier plant with tight internodes, making it suitable for growers seeking consistency and manageable structure. It is noted for heavy trichome coverage and dense flower formation. The plant's indica-leaning traits can result in reduced stretch after the light flip, simplifying cultivation, especially in smaller spaces.
Flowering time is typically within a predictable 63–70 day window. The cultivar is well-suited for both indoor and potentially outdoor cultivation, with dense buds and high resin content making it appealing for various markets. Proper drying and curing, ideally over 10–14 days at around 60°F and 60% RH, are recommended to preserve its complex terpene profile.
Origins & Lineage
Mac Stomper F2 is a second filial generation hybrid bred by Sunken Treasure Seeds. The name suggests a lineage derived from MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) crossed with a grape-forward Stomper variety, likely from the Grape Stomper family. The F2 breeding process involves selecting and recombining desirable traits from the F1 generation to enhance stability and consistency while allowing for new phenotype expressions.
This breeding approach aims to refine specific characteristics such as resin output, bud density, and terpene cohesion. The goal is to achieve repeatable, high-performing phenotypes that combine the uplifting qualities often associated with MAC with the fruit-forward and relaxing characteristics of the Stomper lineage, resulting in a nuanced evolution of the MAC experience.
