Maui Wowie is a Hawaiian landrace sativa with fresh pineapple, tropical citrus and a hint of volcanic earth at 15-20% THC and a smooth, bright lift. Limonene, pinene and myrcene lead. A gentle 5 to 7 minute on-ramp leads to a smooth, bright lift for about 90 minutes.

A Gentle On-Ramp to a Tropical Lift

Maui Wowie does not rush. It takes five to seven minutes to show up and then delivers a smooth, bright lift that holds for roughly 90 minutes. It is often described as bright, tropical and energetic without a racy edge.

Reported uses are beach day energy, social settings and a Sunday brunch that turns into an afternoon walk. The smell is fresh pineapple and tropical citrus with a light volcanic-earth funk.

Its landrace roots are on volcanic soil in the Hawaiian islands, which matches the light volcanic-earth funk in the profile.

Limonene Leads, Pine Follows

Limonene

Limonene leads the terpene list and is often described as uplifting and clear-headed, a daytime-friendly note.

Pinene

Pinene gives a fresh note under the pineapple.

Myrcene

Myrcene is third and keeps a little body in an otherwise airy profile.

Volcanic Soil, Hawaiian Landrace

Maui Wowie is a Hawaiian landrace sativa, so there are no parent strains to list. It is documented as a late-1960s landrace grown on volcanic soil and made known by Captain Ed Adair. It flowers in 8-9 weeks.

Tropical Company

Tangie is the tangerine-peel alternative and tests higher, 19-22%. Blue Dream is the berry option. Sour Diesel is the gas-forward contrast, with citrus rind and skunk funk at 19-25% THC. Green Crack keeps the tropical angle with mango pulp.
