Miracle Alien Cookies
Miracle Alien Cookies
Also known as: MAC, Miracle Cookies, MAC 1
Overview
Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC) is a balanced hybrid marijuana strain created by crossing Alien Cookies with a hybrid of Starfighter and Colombian landrace genetics. The strain has a legendary origin story: breeder Capulator accidentally left seeds from a Starfighter-Colombian cross in his pants pocket that went through the washing machine, and only one seedling survived - dubbed "Miracle 15" - which was then crossed with Alien Cookies to create MAC. This strain maintains a roughly 50% indica and 50% sativa genetic balance, making it one of the most perfectly balanced hybrids in cannabis.
MAC produces dense, round mint-green buds often flecked with deep purple hues and sparse bright-orange hairs, appearing rock hard and excessively covered with resinous trichomes that give them a crystalline, almost lunar sheen. Growers consistently praise MAC nugs as gorgeous and covered in resin. The strain has earned multiple awards since entering the cannabis world, including Best Overall Rec Flower at the 2020 Connoisseur Cup and has been recognized at events like the 2019 Emerald Cup. The famous "MAC 1" or "Cap's Cut" clone-only version gained an almost cult-like reputation for its stellar quality, contributing to the strain's legendary status in cannabis culture.

Growing Information
MAC is considered moderately difficult to grow and produces medium yields, with healthy plants growing up to 150 cm (especially in soil) and a flowering time of 9-10 weeks. Indoors, it produces generous harvests of around 450-500 grams per square meter with a 9-10 week flowering period, while outdoors it can reach up to 2 meters tall and yield over 1 kilogram per plant, typically harvested in mid-October. The strain is relatively easy to grow with natural resistance to pests and diseases, making it forgiving for beginners while still delivering stellar results. MAC responds well to various training techniques, particularly Sea of Green (SOG) due to its relatively slender growth pattern. It prefers warm, sunny, temperate climates with daytime temperatures between 68-81°F and humidity levels of 55-60% during vegetative phase, reducing to about 30% by harvest.
