Maui Wowie: Hawaiian Gold

Maui Wowie plants are tall, wide and full featuring some of the biggest, dankest buds you will ever see. The plants look like they could grow in the wild as they are bright green in color and have bushy leaves that are absolutely covered in tasty resin. If you are partial to a sticky bud then you should check Maui Wowie out right after it has been clipped and dried. The nuggets are leafy and full and have bright orange hairs sticking out of a deep green bud. Breaking apart these nuggets will unleash a tropical scent that is mouth-watering. Even though Maui Wowie hasn’t won any major cannabis awards over the past 60 years it has a reputation in the cannabis community that adds to its lore and popularity. While awards are nice, sometimes word of mouth is even better and Maui Wowie is super sought-after. If you want to grow this strain you will need some advice, and we are here to help.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

The Maui Wowie strain is a beginner-friendly choice thanks to its knack for adapting to fluctuations in temperature and natural resistance against pests and disease. Maui Wowie seeds love balmy, warm, and tropical settings abundant in sunshine. If you live in a cooler region, rest assured that it’s easy to recreate these conditions indoors. Outdoor growers make sure you have a window of good, warm weather so you can bring this strain to fruition without any major problems. Because this strain originated in a naturally humid climate with fluctuating temperatures, it tends to be less susceptible to mold and mildew. These built-in advantages mean growers won’t need to spend as much time or money trying to mitigate these issues.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Maui Wowie plants grow very well indoors and outdoors as long as the climate is correct. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-85 degrees fahrenheit. Maui Wowie needs about 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Using nutrient rich soil with a pH level between 6.0 to 7.0 will give you your best results.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels between 40-60% are ideal for this plant during the vegetative stage. Dropping the humidity level to 30-40% during the flowering stage will help you cross the finish line with thick, dense buds.
• Training Techniques: Low-stress training, topping and pruning training techniques are a good choice with this strain. These techniques will help you control the height and width of your plant by trimming the branches that aren’t producing bigger buds.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Maui Wowie:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Maui Wowie seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That energetic, euphoric and uplifted feeling you get when using the Maui Wowie strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and uplifted feeling you get with Maui Wowie.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Maui Wowie are less than 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, pain and even stress. The CBD in the Maui Wowie strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
