Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Pineapple and citrus over a light earthy base, sunny and clean.”
The nose is sweet and tropical: pineapple and citrus over a light earthy base, sunny and clean. The effect is bright and gentle — an uplifting, creative, happy head with a relaxed body, a low-stress daytime sativa.
It's moderate by modern standards, more about mood and flavour than overwhelming potency. For a mellow, tropical, feel-good sativa, Maui Wowie is a nostalgic favourite.
