Brass Knuckles Maui

brass knuckles Maui Though not as famous as its cousin strain Maui Wowie, Maui is a potent sativa native to Hawaii. This landrace strain offers smokers steadily mounting cerebral effects that may even culminate in euphoria. Maui is a useful tool for motivation as well as for buzzy entertainment. Maui also has an appealing tropical flavor that feels characteristic of its birthplace. Cannabis testing lab Analytical 360 has found flowers of this strain to have between 16% and 26% THC.

Maui impresses right away with large, solid flowers. These buds hold together in an almost cylindrical, elongated shape. The buds have the loose, piecey structure that is characteristic of sativa varieties — the fluffy leaves can be easily torn away from their central stems. Maui’s leaves are a vibrant shade of spring green and are twisted through with dark rust-colored pistils. A blanket of cloudy white trichomes covers the inner and outer surfaces of these large flowers, giving them a sticky texture and making them even more colorful than they already are.

When they’re properly cured, Maui’s flowers give off a powerful aroma redolent of fresh lemon zest. On closer inspection, there’s also a dank, skunky odor lurking underneath these bright scents. Meanwhile, breaking apart Maui’s fluffy buds yields pungent notes of skunk, providing further contrast to its fruitiness. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Maui burns with a smooth and palatable smoke. On the exhale, this smoke has a tropical, almost pineapple taste.
