Also known as: The MAC, Miracle Alien Cookies #1, Miracle Alien Cookies X1, Cap's Cut
Overview
MAC 1, short for Miracle Alien Cookies #1, is a highly coveted hybrid cannabis strain created by renowned breeder Capulator in 2015. This premium strain has mysterious origins depending on which sources you consult, but is most commonly understood to be a cross between Alien Cookies F2 and Miracle 15 (a Starfighter and Colombian landrace hybrid). The strain has influenced countless modern cultivars and maintains an exclusive status, with Capulator carefully selecting only specific growers to cultivate authentic cuts. This exclusivity was designed to protect the quality of this versatile strain and ensure consumers receive the authentic genetics.
MAC 1 is renowned for its striking visual appeal and exceptional resin production. The strain has become the poster child for trichome-heavy cannabis, with buds that are nearly white and completely drenched in milky trichomes. The flowers display deep olive greens and purples with bright orange pistils, creating an Instagram-worthy appearance that catches the eye of any cannabis enthusiast. The plant grows very tall with smaller pointed-tip buds that feature bright green coloration with a blue hue magnified by the extremely heavy coating of resinous trichomes. This balanced 50/50 hybrid has gained immense popularity for its appealing aesthetics and has not won any awards but is widely considered a top-shelf strain among cannabis enthusiasts.

Growing Information
MAC 1 is considered a challenging strain to cultivate and is best suited for experienced growers. The strain is widely considered difficult to grow and is probably best left to experts due to its rarity and sensitivity. Flowering time ranges from 7-9 weeks indoors, with some sources indicating 8-10 weeks. As a sativa-leaning hybrid, it has a lengthy flowering period of up to 10 weeks when growing indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by mid to late October. Indoor yields range from 1-2 ounces per square foot, while outdoor cultivation can produce 2-3 ounces per square foot or up to 30 ounces per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but demands consistent attention to lighting, humidity, and nutrients, preferring temperatures between 65-80°F during the day with slightly cooler nights. MAC 1 is primarily available as a clone-only strain, making securing high-quality genetics essential for successful cultivation.
