Quick answer
Maui Wowie is a heritage Hawaiian sativa landrace from the late 1960s, testing 15-20% THC. Pineapple-mango tropical flavour and an energetic, uplifting, creative high - the original surf-culture daytime strain.
Maui Wowie is the oldest strain we sell and still the best answer to 'what should I smoke before a hike?' Real pineapple on the nose, and the high is pure light - energetic, chatty, zero fog. It won't pin you down like modern hybrids. If you've only smoked 2020s exotics, this is what cannabis tasted like before they existed.

The story of Maui Wowie
Maui Wowie (also Maui Waui) is one of the original landrace sativas - a Hawaiian classic from the island's volcanic slopes, circulating since at least the 1960s-70s. It was among the first strains to bring genuine tropical sativa energy to the mainland, and its pineapple-mango profile with low-to-moderate THC made it legendary for being uplifting without overwhelming. In an era of 30% flowers, Maui Wowie is a taste of what cannabis used to be - and why it still matters.
Terpene breakdown
- Myrcene: the relaxed, body-heavy base.
- Pinene: a fresh pine clarity.
- Caryophyllene: peppery, fuel-adjacent spice underneath.
Maui Wowie's dominant terp is Myrcene, and it leads the flavour on every inhale.
Growing Maui Wowie
A tall, stretching sativa with an 8 to 10 week flower. It wants warmth, light and space - outdoors in a Mediterranean-style climate is where it thrives. Yields are moderate and the buds are airier than modern indicas, but the flavour payoff is the reward. Not a beginner tent strain, but a classic for growers with patience.
How to consume Maui Wowie
The rare strain where more is not heavier: its low THC means you can enjoy it socially across an afternoon. Vaping highlights the tropical fruit. Morning beach walks, creative projects, conversations - Maui Wowie is daytime cannabis the way it was designed decades ago.
