M1-56

A Rare Phenotype with Modern California Character

M1-56 is a potent, phenotype-specific hybrid that circulates primarily within small Southern California craft circles. Rather than a mass-market cultivar, it represents a selected cut valued for its strength, resin production, and expressive terpene profile. The result is a strain that delivers a dynamic balance of cerebral uplift and physical ease, making it a standout for experienced consumers seeking something distinctive and modern.

Genetics & Lineage

M1-56 is not a mainstream strain with fully established genetic documentation. It is widely understood to be a phenotype selection, identified as “#56,” from an M1 lineage. Depending on the cultivator, M1 is commonly associated with MAC-derived genetics, sometimes expressed as MAC 1 crossed with an undisclosed hybrid or a Gelato-leaning MAC line. As with many elite Cali cuts, the phenotype selection defines its final character more than the published lineage.

Flavour & Aroma Profile

M1-56 presents a complex and engaging terpene profile. The aroma is grounded in earthy tones with clear notes of citrus and pine, layered with hints of lavender and berry. When consumed, the flavour develops into a smooth balance of sweet and sour citrus-berry, complemented by subtle spicy and floral lavender undertones. In some expressions, light gas and creamy sherbet notes emerge, reinforcing its modern California profile.

Effects & Experience

M1-56 delivers a balanced, multi-stage experience that appeals to both creative and social settings.

  • The onset is typically cerebral and mood-lifting, producing feelings of happiness, euphoria, and light giggliness.
  • Many users report increased talkativeness, creativity, and a calm, focused mental state.
  • As the experience progresses, a gentle, tingly body relaxation develops without heavy sedation.
  • While approachable for seasoned users, its intensity can be overwhelming for beginners, who are advised to start with small amounts.

THC levels are consistently high, commonly reported in the low-to-mid 20% range, with some phenotype expressions testing higher. Side effects, which vary by individual, may include dry mouth, dry eyes, and occasional dizziness or paranoia if consumed in excess.

Appearance

The buds of M1-56 are dense and resin-forward, reflecting its MAC-influenced heritage. Trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the flower a frosted, sticky appearance. Colouration ranges from bright to deeper greens, sometimes accented by subtle purple hues, depending on phenotype expression and finishing conditions.

Medical Uses

M1-56 is frequently selected by medical cannabis users for its potent yet balanced effects. It is commonly associated with relief from chronic pain and inflammation, while its uplifting cerebral qualities may help alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and mood-related conditions. The strain’s energising yet composed nature has also made it a popular choice for those managing chronic fatigue, as it can promote focus and motivation without excessive stimulation.
