About MAC
MAC was created by Capulator (a Michigan-born, California-based breeder), crossing Starfighter with Alien Cookies. The strain is renowned for its ridiculous resin production — the trichomes are so abundant they make the buds look white, like a bowl of sugary cereal (hence the 'Miracle Alien Cookies' name from a typo). MAC's aroma is complex and hard to pin down: creamy, citrus, earthy, and diesel with a funky backend. Its effects are balanced and potent, providing mental clarity with physical relaxation. The MAC 1 cut (a phenotype selected by Capulator) is considered the gold standard.
Flavor Profile
History
Capulator developed MAC in California and released it in the early 2010s. The strain became legendary for its bag appeal — the trichome coverage was so intense it became a benchmark for all commercial flower. The MAC 1 cut (a specific phenotype) became the most desired version and was widely cloned and distributed.
