Mac N Cheese is a striking hybrid born from two legendary strains: Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC1) and Exodus Cheese. Growers Choice combined the frosty, cookie-rich structure of MAC with the unmistakable funk of the UK Cheese line to create a 70% indica / 30% sativa feminized plant.
THC is listed at 27–30% with low CBD. The plant grows bushy with a prominent main cola, and its flowers are incredibly dense. True to its name, the terpene profile leans heavily toward a sharp, cheesy aroma.
Indoors, Mac N Cheese flowers in about 9 weeks, stays at 90–120 cm (35–47 in) and yields 550–650 g/m² (1.8–2.1 oz/ft²). Outdoors, plants reach 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and can produce 600–750 g/plant (21–26 oz/plant), with harvest at the end of September.
High mold resistance makes it a reliable choice both indoors and out, even for growers who are still learning to manage humidity.
Flavor and Effects of Mac N Cheese
Crack open a bag of Mac N Cheese and the cheesy, funky aroma is the first thing you notice. It is sharp and savory, with the classic Exodus Cheese tang and a sweet, creamy undertone from MAC.
Once lit, the flavor turns pungent and sour, leaving a diesel-like aftertaste on the palate. It is like a slice of aged cheddar melted on toast in a garage full of fuel cans: odd on paper, but deeply satisfying for fans of savory strains.
The combined effects of these two potent parents are surprisingly mellow and well balanced. Expect a gentle euphoric lift that settles into a calm, relaxed body feel, without being overwhelming at moderate doses.
Growers Choice suggests Mac N Cheese as an ideal afternoon smoke, offering a pleasant, easy-going experience for cannabis enthusiasts.
Growing Mac N Cheese Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Mac N Cheese grows bushy with a strong main cola and stays at 90–120 cm (35–47 in). Topping it is an easy way to turn that single dominant cola into several, creating a lush, even sea of green under the light.
Because the flowers are so dense, airflow is still important even with high mold resistance. Clear out the lower branches and inner leaves before flowering, use fans to move air through the canopy and keep humidity at 40–50% during the last weeks.
Outdoors, plants reach 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and finish at the end of September, which gives them a head start on autumn weather. With full sun and a large container or open soil, yields of 600–750 g/plant (21–26 oz/plant) are possible.
A strong carbon filter is a must indoors: the cheesy aroma becomes very powerful from mid-flowering onward.
