MAC 1

Mac 1 aka The Mac - marijuana strain

MAC1 from Helvetic Seedbank is a great hybrid strain, a fantastic type of marihuana that originated in the States - MAC 1 (or Miracle Alien Cookies - a cross of Alien Cookies F2 and Colombian x Starfighter) is a clone-only strain that Helvetic has stabilised and feminized. The plants are packed with marvellous terpenes and a huge amount of THC.

The terpene profile is simply great: the strain smells wonderfully of lime and sour fuel, a little earthy and there is also the perfect hint of delicious Skunk. Mac-1 is a beautiful blend of indica and sativa, packed with extremely milky trichomes and terpenes, a flavour that real cannabis connoisseurs love. MAC 1 is very often and very successfully used as medicinal cannabis, especially for pain, nausea and spasticity, this strain seems to be a good help.
