Maui Wowie reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Maui Wowie.
It made me sing my thoughts.
This is a great high. Opens the artistic portals in my brain.
After a few times smoking/vaping an industry friend’s high quality homegrown Maui Wowie cultivar, this is my favorite strain at the moment. Keep in mind, I’m more of a sativa guy. I smoke everything but I prefer weed that stimulates me and/or leaves me with a clear head for the most part, mostly to help with my adhd. This does a great job at that, unlike other 25+% thc dispensary Maui Wowie cultivars I’ve tried. The Most (dispensary) sativa leaning strains I get nowadays are totally hybridized even when labeled a “pure sativa”. To keep things simple, this is what I expect/wish a “sativa hybrid” to feel like - stimulated and energized, but relaxed and free of anxiety or racing thoughts. I feel euphoric, not drowsy, clearheaded and all while my mind is slowed to a reasonable pace.
The flavor of this bud is exceptional and leafly describes it well. Tropical and fruity, with floral notes.
My buddy gets to test his homegrows for free because his contract with the lab allows so I got to see the terp profile :) …
Myrcene - .52%
a-Pinene - .28%
Linalool - .09%
Limonene - .05%
Ocimene - .04%
This terp profile stumps me a little bit as far as effects, but not flavor. The myrcene contributes to the earthy fruity smell. The pinene gives the myrcene a smoother edge, adding more to the sweet flavor. Linalool, the floral terpene is a sneaky one: anything over .02% can make a huge difference in flavor in my experience. With that being said, the linalool rounds it all out with a light flowery sweetness. Limonene is lemony and citrusy, making a great contribution to the tropical fruit flavor. Ocimene is minty, but this small amount just “brightens” the rest of the scents.
The reason I’m confused about the effects is because myrcene generally has a noticeable sedative affect for me, and I don’t notice that at all. Alpha pinene seems to make the weed relaxed without sedation which makes sense. Linalool normally just saves me from any anxiety, but combined with myrcene it seems to add to the sedative effect. Limonene is generally more alert and energetic but there’s such a low amount. The .05% must be holding up the energetic side of things. I haven’t noticed anything specific from Ocimene yet but in my reading I found a source that said “Ocimene has shown to provide synergy (referring to a relaxing entourage effect) when combined with other terpenes, including alpha-pinene and myrcene.” Normally limonene and especially terpinolene are the terpenes I look to for energetic effects but they both tested low: .05 and .007 respectively.
All in all, epic strain. Testing in at 14.7% THC / 1.2% CBD, this takes a very high spot in my all time favorite strains. Amazing floral tropical fruit taste/smell and perfect ganja for a euphoric, but productive daytime smoke. If I could give people clones/seeds of this phenotype I would
Very, very, very energetic. Great to listen to music and watch views.
Sold as Indica dominant so pleasantly taken aback by the lift and buzz. Instead of laying back for a snooze I turned the vibes back on and put another log on the fire.
it’s has a really nice feeling i smoked two bowls and im chilling right now it’s really relaxing i’m about to go enjoy nature
I did a small bowl when I woke up.
And felt almost instantly energetic and focused with this Maui Wowie. Bought in Lansing MI/ was medical MJ. No tired at all. Just relaxed. Never had MJ like this before. Awesome.
My favorite strain.
