Take a seat, and let’s get acquainted.

Don’t forget your roots, remember

Cannabis breeder Capulator understood and properly applied the rich ancestry of many of the best hybrid strains, which includes Durban Poison and Hindu Kush, GSC, OG Kush, and Chemdawg.

As the story goes, the seeds were tragically left in the pocket of the breeder’s pants, which went into the washing machine. All except one. This one, the fifteenth planted and the only survivor, was therefore named Miracle 15. However, #15 was male, so he could never give us those beautiful buds. That’s how MAC was born.

Here are some popular strains that used MAC:

  • Auto MAC: an A plant that starts flowering independently of the length of the day. autoflowering ↗︎ version of MAC#1 that received its autoflowering trait from Dutch Passion’s Auto Think Different.

Now let’s go over its sensory qualities. MAC’s dominant terpene is limonene, found in the peel of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and limes. Other abundant terpenes include pinene, present in pines and other conifers, and caryophyllene, which provides a spicy, peppery aroma.

This combination of terpenes gives the strain a unique profile, featuring an unusual, pungent aroma and a subtle orange flavor balanced by floral accents that develop into a sweet, earthy aftertaste. Users describe a sweet-and-sour flavor that seems like a mix of rubber, gas, and citrus peel, reminiscent of the classic Sour Diesel aroma but with a spicy herbal note. If you’ve tried diesel strains before, you’ll know what that means.

By the way, toward the end of flowering, the buds can be various colors, from purple to blue, green, red, yellow, and orange, with some displaying flecks of every color.
