Last updated: November 19, 2021

What Does Maui Wowie Mean?

Maui Wowie is a sativa-dominate hybrid strain of cannabis. It is also sometimes referred to as Maui Waui because its origins trace to Hawaii. It grows in a tall, lanky fashion and can reach two meters in height. The strain is often used by medical marijuana users.

The strain is considered a true classic because it first rose to popularity in the 1970s. The strain was developed in the 1960s and was one of the first that boasted high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) . It has been maintained true to form through the process of selective breeding, although its exact genetics remain a mystery.

Maximum Yield Explains Maui Wowie

Maui Wowie features a very strong tropical aroma that sets it apart from other cannabis strains. The taste is typically fruity. The strain is known as an ideal stress-reliever. It does provide a bit of an energy boost if used during the morning but most users do not report racing thoughts. Usually, the mind can drift in a creative way after use.

The Maui Wowie strain is considered tropical and grows best in locations that can recreate its need for warmth and ample sun. Although the seeds can be purchased and grown anywhere, there remains a distinct difference between island-grown Maui Wowie and plants grown on the mainland.

It is believed that the unique sunlight in the Hawaiian Islands and the volcanic ash-based soil plays a key role in providing the strain with its distinct terpene flavors and aroma.
