Maui Wowie reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Maui Wowie.
I love this strain. it's very nice. and tasty!
tropical and smooth hit from the dab made my mid day feel better
I had HIGH hopes, and this strain did grow on me but didn't blow me out of the water (think my expectations were tooo high), but the taste is great and I got used to this sativa, but it was a little more cerebral for me than I anticipated
Not a Sativa guy but this strand is great.
Me: Registered Illinois Medical Marijuana patient with a 20 year relationship with Cannabis. I've smoked in several different continents and consider myself an expert in Cannabis. Nowadays, I consume more extracts then anything but recently have enjoyed flower.
This review is for a sample of Green Thumb Industries take on Maui Mowie. I recieved a gram sample for free from an Illinois dispensary that clocks in at around 22 % ish THC. No CBDs listed, however, that doesn't mean they are totally absent.
So it has been absolutely freezing these past few days, I am talking colder here in Chicago then Antartica. I was seeing if I could bring a little Island here to the Arctic Circle, but alas no bikinis or beaches were seen. This stuff is okay, but the cure is off and that deducts points.
Smell: Spicy with some floral backnotes, its a pretty typical landracey sativa smell. It's present in all landrace strains that I have tried and it must be the taste that the first people whom consumed cannabis ever tasted. However, the reports of fruit flavors and the short flowering time for a Sativa always make me wonder if most of the mainland Maui Wowie we see is actually legit.
The main problem is there is also a smell of HAY in there and that indicates a bad cure. This should be addressed. Why grow the flower and then mess up the cure? Especially when this is Medical?
Taste: Similar to the smell, the spice is smoother then some other landrace Sativas. Its a nice smooth smoke. I get a slight tart/citrus flavor on the exhale. I bet a better cure would have brought that out more.
Look: This stuff looks very pretty, lime green with orange hairs. Like classic headies basically. Neon green and covered in trichs. Nug structure looks Sativaish, long and spindly nuggets.
Honestly, this stuff reminds me of some Jamaican or Mexican that you would see from a friend with relatives in those areas that would somehow get it sent to them directly. It's got the same look as high quality import back in the day (though I was only around at the very end of those days).
Effect: I should note that due to the cold it has been dangerous to go outside and thus I have been stuck inside dabbing concentrates the last two days. That being said, just a few hits of this product shined through.
I did feel a subdued electric buzz that the Hawaiian strains are infamous for. However, it wasn't as intense as some of the other landrace sativa's. Heck, it isn't even as racy as the Durban leaning Cookies pheno live sugar I have. Once I added some coffee to the mix it got to a point where I was tingling at my spine and I would imagine it would be too much for a novice.
The more we learn about Cannabis, the more we learn about how much impacts the plant. I'd imagine there are 3rd generation farmers in the Maui Hills holding it down. This stuff is good but not great. I understand why this strain is popular and hope to get a truer representation at some point.
I’ve never had a strain hit me as well as this one does, even as shake! It takes me out of whatever dark moments and immediately brightens my mood. It also makes me incredibly talkative
love this stuff
I love this strain! It's very uplifting and energizing. Makes me happy and giggly.
