Growing Maui Wowie from Seeds
Maui Wowie is easy to grow, which means that beginners can even experience success when growing this mostly sativa with just a little work.

The females still start flowering when they receive less light per day, i.e. in the Fall or when you manipulate the light cycle indoors.
NOTE: You can feminize these and instructions are found on the back of the seed pack.
