Macdre by Mogwai Genetics
Unknown
MacDre is a predominantly indica cannabis strain developed by Mogwai Genetics. It is recognized for its dense, trichome-covered flowers and a complex flavor profile that blends sweet, dessert-like notes with hints of fuel. This cultivar is often positioned as a premium product due to its visual appeal and potent effects.
Appearance
MacDre produces dense, frosty flowers that are visually appealing, often exhibiting violet hues. The buds are characterized by a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio and a compact, rounded shape, resembling golf balls or torpedoes rather than elongated spears. This morphology, along with substantial lateral branching and heavy resin deposition, is consistent with its indica-leaning genetic background.
Aroma and Flavor
This strain is noted for its richly layered terpene profile, often described as falling into the modern gas-meets-dessert category. Consumers and growers frequently detect notes of sweet bakery or cookie-like qualities, combined with a dark berry undercurrent and fuel-like aromas. The complexity of its aromatic and flavor profile contributes significantly to its appeal.
Effects
MacDre typically delivers effects aligned with its indica-dominant heritage, offering a tranquil body feel that promotes relaxation and comfort. It is also associated with a mood-lifting top note, providing a balanced experience. This combination makes it well-suited for evening use and general symptom relief.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab data is limited, MacDre is known to be a THC-dominant strain, with THC content generally reported between 16-18%. Total terpene percentages in high-quality batches often range from 1.5% to 3.5%, with outstanding examples falling between 2.0% and 3.2%. The terpene profile is rich and complex, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor.
Growing Characteristics
As a mostly indica strain, MacDre generally exhibits a compact plant structure with shorter internodal spacing, making it suitable for indoor cultivation, particularly using SCROG methods. It is known for its resin yield and mechanical trim friendliness. The flowering time is typically around 56–63 days, with some phenotypes potentially extending to 70 days for maximum terpene and color development.
Origins and Lineage
MacDre was bred by Mogwai Genetics, a breeder recognized for careful parent selection and resin-forward hybrids. While the exact lineage has not been publicly disclosed by the breeder, community speculation often suggests influences from Cookies or MAC genetics based on its flavor profile and morphology. The name itself is a nod to Bay Area culture.
