Maui Wowie is a sativa-leaning cannabis strain with a fresh pineapple, tropical citrus, light volcanic-earth funk profile, 15-20% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of limonene, pinene, myrcene. It is best known for beach day energy, social mood lift, the Sunday brunch that turns into an afternoon walk, with effects setting in gentle on-ramp, 5-7 minutes, then a smooth bright lift for 90 minutes. Terp Bros NYC stocks Maui Wowie-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Maui Wowie is typically reported as a sativa-leaning experience: beach day energy, social mood lift, the Sunday brunch that turns into an afternoon walk. Onset is gentle on-ramp, 5-7 minutes, then a smooth bright lift for 90 minutes. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
Maui Wowie is built on a dominant terpene stack of limonene, pinene, myrcene, which together produce the fresh pineapple, tropical citrus, light volcanic-earth funk aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Limonene
In Maui Wowie specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Pinene
In Maui Wowie specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Myrcene
In Maui Wowie specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Lineage + Genetics
Maui Wowie traces back to Hawaiian landrace sativa, with a documented origin story rooted in Hawaiian islands, late 1960s landrace cultivated on volcanic soil, popularized by Captain Ed Adair. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
tropical-terp lovers in Astoria gravitate to this, easy strain to recommend when someone wants energy but is scared of paranoid sativas. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Maui Wowie in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Maui Wowie a daytime or evening strain? Evening-leaning. Maui Wowie's limonene + pinene terpene dominance and indica-leaning lineage make it one of our more-requested evening strains. Some customers pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for a heavier wind-down.
Does Maui Wowie cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Maui Wowie contains limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Maui Wowie? Maui Wowie typically tests in the 15-20% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Maui Wowie safe for first-time cannabis customers? Maui Wowie runs 15-20% THC and can feel intense for first-time customers, especially in flower or pre-roll format. We recommend first-time customers start with a 2.5mg edible or a single inhale from a vape, and work up only after seeing how the strain feels at the lower dose.
