Basic infos

MAC 1 is an indica / sativa from Capulator and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors Capulator's MAC 1 is/was never available as feminized seeds.

Capulator Description

MAC 1 is a strain that has influenced countless modern cultivars, thanks to the continued efforts of the renowned cannabis breeder Capulator. If you aren't familiar, keep reading as we explain the strain's mysterious origins, continued exclusivity, physical characteristics, and the properties and effects that have kept users wanting more. We'll also explore the breeding prowess of the famed Capulator and his continued impact on cannabis genetics.



History of the MAC 1 Cannabis Strain

Miracle Alien Cookies 1 (also known as Miracle Alien Cookies X1 or MAC 1) has premium genetics running through its veins. As for which genetics, exactly—that all depends on which sources you speak to. The most common assumption is that she's a cross between Alien Cookies F2 and Miracle 15 (a Starfighter and Colombian landrace hybrid). However, it's also possible that MAC 1 is a backcross of the original MAC. Regardless, what we know about MAC 1 is that its captivating aroma, uplifting high, and impressive potency have earned it somewhat of a cult status.



The person we have to thank for the strain's global appeal is the enigmatic cannabis breeder Capulator. Despite being reclusive, his influence on cannabis genetics is significant, with MAC 1 being just one of the many cultivars he's nurtured from scratch. Capulator began breeding in 1996, starting his career with one of MAC 1's potential parents, Alien Cookies. Since then, his reputation (and his catalog) have grown significantly. Alongside MAC 1, notable strains include Commando, Lemon Shiv, Waiting Game, and countless variations of MAC and Miracle genetics.



Another crucial factor to highlight is the exclusivity of the seeds listed above. Strains from Capulator aren't available via regular means, such as dispensaries or online seed banks. Instead, Capulator carefully selects growers with the relevant skills and expertise to nurture his creations. As such, you won't find original MAC 1 seeds online (also called the Capulator Cut), but you will find countless variations and progenies.



Genetic Lineage of MAC 1

As we've alluded to, the true origins of MAC 1 remain a mystery. However, we can still examine the strain's genetic history and detail the most commonly touted parents.



First up is Alien Cookies F2, an exceptionally rare 50/50 hybrid from Jaws Gear Genetics. Created using Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Aliendawg genetics, it boasts strong earthy and vanilla flavors (courtesy of GSC) alongside a happy, relaxing high and moderate THC levels (21%). If you are lucky enough to secure buds of Alien Cookies, you'll immediately notice the generous frosting of trichomes and thick amber pistils. Effects are said to start slowly before building into a heavy stoned sensation that encourages hunger, relaxation, and sleep—in that order.



Working alongside Alien Cookies is the genetically diverse Miracle 15. Said to be a cross of Starfighter and a Colombian landrace sativa, this relatively unknown cultivar brings a touch of sweetness to MAC 1 and helps to bolster the potency and resin production offered by Alien Cookies F2. Not much else is known about Miracle 15 other than its proposed role in creating MAC 1. It's also possible that MAC 1 is a backcross of an original MAC phenotype. Still, the only person who truly knows is Capulator.



Physical Characteristics of MAC 1

During early veg, MAC 1 has a fairly unassuming profile, developing a dense canopy of thin, sativa-like leaves. However, as the plant approaches pre-flowering, there's a dramatic shift in both tempo and appearance. Plants not only enjoy a good stretch, but bud sites pop up left and right. Another strong sativa-like characteristic is its lengthy flowering period (typically ten weeks). Still, when you see the level of trichome production, ten weeks won't seem long at all.



MAC 1 has become the poster child of trichome-heavy cannabis strains. There may only be a handful of photos online, but every plant has the same thing in common—glistening resin. And it's not just the buds, either. The entire plant is covered, from bud to base. This characteristic alone makes MAC 1 one of the most visually appealing strains available (provided you can get hold of seeds). If you are lucky enough, then the buds themselves take on a rounded, fluffy appearance—usually dark olive green with hints of purple and thin orange pistils.



Properties and Effects of MAC 1

In terms of potency, THC levels for MAC 1 vary. The original was believed to reach 20–23%, while several more modern phenotypes claim to exceed 30%. Either way, any strain with above 20% THC is going to induce a hard-hitting high—plenty for beginners and cannabis veterans alike. Again, the strain leans on its sativa roots to deliver an intensely euphoric high filled with motivation and energizing waves of happiness. There is a touch of physical stimulation, but MAC 1 almost exclusively focuses on boosting the mood.



It isn't just the strain's sativa heritage and high THC level that influences the effects, but also the sophisticated blend of terpenes—namely limonene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Together, they provide a dual role, supporting MAC 1's euphoric high and offering a delicate blend of spicy herbal notes and sweet citrus flavors. Upon lighting up this strain, you'll notice that the inhale is predominantly sweet and light, while the exhale is much more pungent and skunky.



Uses of MAC 1

With a strain such as MAC 1, there's no shortage of potential uses. Given the cultivar’s above-average resin production, cannabis concentrates are one of the first avenues to explore. For old-school cannabis users, nothing beats loading several blunt papers with freshly ground MAC 1 herb.



This strain is an excellent accompaniment to casual social events and friendly get-togethers. Start passing around a loaded bong, and it won't take long for everyone to smile and laugh together. Of course, that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy MAC 1 solo. In fact, the persistent waves of euphoria make her the perfect remedy for a long, stressful day at work.



Consider enjoying this strain:



• In the morning (in moderation)


• As an afternoon pick-me-up


• On weekend and holiday adventures


• When enjoying the great outdoors


• At parties and get-togethers



Though this strain appears to be generally well tolerated, potential side effects of Mac 1 may include:



• Dry mouth


• Anxiety/paranoia



Cultivation and Production of MAC 1

Information regarding the ideal growing environment, preferred training techniques, and feeding schedule for MAC 1 is limited. This is, of course, because only a handful of seeds were available at the time of her release, and Capulator was very specific about who could grow this iconic strain. If you are fortunate enough to procure one of the many MAC 1 progenies, then it's best to refer to the specific breeder or seed bank for cultivation advice. However, given Capulator's reputation for providing cutting-edge genetics, we can only assume that this strain will perform well in the grow room, with indoor growers likely the best equipped to push both yields and trichome production to its limits.



MAC 1: The Poster Child for Frosty Cannabis Strains

MAC 1 from Capulator is a sativa-leaning strain that promises to deliver on all fronts. From its excellent trichome production to its balanced sweet and skunky flavor, it appears to be the perfect cultivar. Unfortunately, few home growers will ever have the chance to cultivate the original MAC 1. Instead, we're resigned to grow its various progenies, including several from Capulator himself. What makes MAC 1 even more fascinating is its exclusivity, which hasn't dampened interest. Instead, it has propelled the strain into an almost cult-like status, with growers worldwide desperately seeking those iconic, frost-covered buds.
