Money Maker strain guide
Money Maker is an indica-leaning hybrid from Strain Hunters, built from Master Kush, Hindu Kush and Skunk #1. It has an earthy, nutty smell with spiced berry notes, and people mostly describe it as relaxed and sleepy.
Where does Money Maker come from?
Money Maker was bred by Strain Hunters, the Dutch seed company. Sources agree it combines Master Kush and Hindu Kush with Skunk #1. One strain database calls it a three-way cross at about 70% indica.
The name is often linked to its heavy yields, which made it popular with growers. Beyond the breeder and the cross, its history isn't well documented.
What does Money Maker smell and taste like?
One strain database describes spiced berries over piney Kush. Other listings call the smell earthy, nutty and pungent, a bit like fruitcake. Reviewers mention pistachio, almond and a berry or grape candy note.
One strain database lists myrcene first, then caryophyllene and pinene. Myrcene brings the earthy, musky base, caryophyllene a peppery spice, and pinene the pine.
Money Maker effects: what people report
Most reports describe it as relaxed, sleepy and hungry, with a slow, settled body feel. Some people mention a happy or euphoric start, and listings often suggest it suits the evening.
These are experiences people report, not promises. The product, the amount, your tolerance and your setting all change how it feels. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the usual complaints.
How strong is Money Maker?
The numbers vary a lot by source. One strain database lists it around 10% THC, lower than average, while another database and the seed listing put it around 20% to 23%. That gap likely reflects different grows and cuts.
Check the label on your batch rather than trusting the strain name. If you're new, start low and wait, especially with edibles, which can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in.
Buying Money Maker in Canada
Because potency varies so much, look closely at the THC and CBD for the batch in front of you. The packaging date tells you how fresh it is, and myrcene near the top of the terpene list is typical.
It shows up most often as dried flower or seeds for home growers.
Money Maker vs Master Kush
Master Kush is one of Money Maker's parents, and both are calm, earthy indicas. Master Kush is the simpler, classic Kush with an earthy, citrus-hash smell, while Money Maker adds Skunk #1 for a fruitier, nuttier jar. If you like traditional hashy Kush, go with Master Kush. If you want the same calm feel with more sweetness, try Money Maker.
