Malibu

Malibu is a strongly sativa-leaning variety (about 80% sativa) known for tall plants, fast to moderate flowering times and a citrus-herbal aroma driven by myrcene and limonene. Plants tend to stretch and reward growers with high yields when given room to develop; indoor setups can hit substantial grams per square meter while outdoor specimens grow large and productive. Expect a clear, uplifting character typical of sativas — energetic, focused and social — with terpene notes that add bright citrus and a softer earthy, herbal base. Flowering runs roughly 6–10 weeks depending on the phenotype and environment, which makes Malibu attractive for growers who need a reliable, quick turnaround without sacrificing yield. It’s listed as a moderate difficulty to grow: manage stretch with training (topping, LST or SCROG), keep an eye on nutrients during the vigorous vegetative phase, and provide good airflow as plants get tall. Best suited to indoor spaces where height can be accommodated or outdoor sites with a long season; yields are typically high when plants are well-fed and allowed to mature fully.
