Mayday is a hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Prima to provide a balanced experience, merging the structural comfort of indicas with the mental clarity of sativas. This strain is recognized for its versatile utility, suitable for both creative daytime activities and unwinding in the evening.
Appearance
Mayday plants typically reach medium heights indoors, around 80-110 cm, and can grow taller outdoors, up to 150-200 cm. The flowers are dense and conical, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming. Buds are usually lime to olive green with copper-orange pistils and a noticeable frosty trichome coating.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Mayday is a complex blend of citrus peel, pine, and herbal notes, with underlying hints of black pepper and spice. Upon consumption, it delivers flavors of lemon zest and sweet pine on the inhale, followed by warmer notes of nutmeg and black pepper. The exhale leaves a clean finish with subtle cedar and herbal tea undertones.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data is limited, Mayday is generally found to contain 16-24% THC and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is noted for Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, and Humulene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor. Total cannabinoid content can reach the low-to-mid 20s under optimal growing conditions.
Growing Information
Mayday is considered a grower-friendly hybrid with a cooperative growth pattern. It typically has an indoor flowering window of 8-9 weeks and responds well to training techniques. The dense flower structure requires attention to humidity control late in the bloom phase to prevent issues like botrytis.
