Maracuya by Swami Organic Seed
Unknown
Maracuya, Spanish for passion fruit, is a predominantly sativa-dominant strain bred by Swami Organic Seed. It is celebrated for its vibrant tropical aromatics and uplifting qualities, making it suitable for daytime use.
Appearance
Maracuya plants typically grow medium-tall with strong apical dominance and flexible side branches. They produce long, conical colas and feature medium-sized leaves with a narrow-leaf sativa shape. The flowers are dense with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often displaying lime-green to chartreuse hues, sometimes with lavender highlights in cooler temperatures. Tangerine-colored pistils add to the visual appeal, and the buds are covered in a dense, frosty layer of trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Maracuya is a complex tropical medley, reminiscent of fresh passion fruit, mango, and citrus rind. Initial notes are bright and citrusy, evolving into floral undertones with hints of guava. Secondary aromas include peach skin and orange blossom, with a subtle peppery spice on the finish. When consumed, the flavor mirrors the aroma, offering sweet-tart passion fruit and mango notes, followed by orange creamsicle and floral hints. The finish is clean with a sparkling zest and a mild white pepper note.
Effects
Maracuya is known for providing a clear, uplifting, and creative experience, consistent with its sativa heritage. It is often described as promoting a sense of calm focus, making it suitable for daytime activities. The effects are generally energizing without being overly stimulating.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is characterized by monoterpenes, with Limonene often being dominant, contributing citrus notes. Beta-Myrcene and Beta-Ocimene are also significant, adding to the sweet, airy tropical profile. Linalool provides floral undertones, while Beta-Caryophyllene adds a subtle peppery spice. THC levels typically range from 25-27%, with CBD content below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are also present.
Growing
Maracuya is noted for its vigor, fast rooting, and resilience, reflecting its sativa-forward genetics. Plants exhibit sturdy stems and good adaptability to various environments. Indoor flowering typically takes 63-73 days, with outdoor harvests in late September to mid-October. Growers appreciate its ability to produce dense flowers and a respectable resin yield.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Swami Organic Seed, Maracuya was developed with the intention of concentrating tropical fruit flavors and limonene-driven uplift within a mostly sativa framework. While exact parentage is proprietary, the lineage is understood to include fruit-forward genetics selected for a synergy of ocimene, limonene, and linalool. It is recognized for its classic sativa traits combined with modern density improvements.
