Great name, as if it implies that this is the strain to use if one wants to fuck their own brain. Kidding aside, Matanuska Thunder Fuck is a gentle cannabis that is not overwhelming. Although the assumption is that it is a balanced hybrid, its Sativa effects are more pronounced. Even so, the sedative properties of its Indica side is not to be underestimated.
When it comes to naming cannabis strains, it seems a more suitable name would have something to do with ice. Matanuska Thunder Fuck produces large dense buds that are profoundly covered by frosty crystals.
The exact genetic lineage of Matanuska Thunder Fuck is unknown. As it turns out, any cannabis coming from Matanuska Valley in Alaska is named as such. A popular claim is that the strain is an offspring of Alaskan hybrids, but this could not possibly be true. A more plausible scenario is that cannabis clones were grown in the grasslands of Matanuska Valley, but these are cannabis that came from elsewhere.
Regardless of its origin, what we are certain of is that the legendary Matanuska Thunder Fuck is no longer available. Instead, what is available in the market are most likely hybrids of the original strain.
Matanuska Thunder Fuck is also known by another name, Matanuska Tundra.

Growing
Matanuska Thunder Fuck can be grown both outdoor and indoor, as well as inside a greenhouse. One thing that makes it a great choice for growing is that it does not exceed 2-1/2 feet. As such, most people with tight spaces in their homes could cultivate this strain.
So as long as the plant is cultivated in a Mediterranean climate, it should grow well. Some work is needed, though, as the plant is bushy and because the buds are large and heavy, some support may have to be installed to prevent broken stems or branches.
Indoor, while it can be grown in soil, a better way is to use hydroponics combined with Screen of Green (SOG) method. Doing so results in an explosive growth which cuts down on the vegetation period.
Flowering Time
Indoors
In as little as 8 to 9 weeks, growers could have in their hands a reminder of Alaska. Seeing the frosty crystals covering the buds are a delight to the eyes. Even better is having a better than average harvest of 12 to 14 ounces per square meter.
Outdoors
It takes a little more time before Matanuska Thunder Fuck is ready for harvest if planted outdoors and compared to hydroponics. Regardless, by mid to late October, growers should have no less than 14 ounces per plant.

It’s gone but if your wise with Horticulture you can come close to recreating it. It was 5 different strain spliced together genetically. Haze. Northern lights. Purple Kush. Afghan purple Kush and here is the kicker no one seems to be able to figure and it’s so obvious. The 5th strain is Humboldt County. It can be done. Good luck.
Hi, I am planning to move to a place medical is allowed & I can grow myself. I have chronic pain issues, Lyme disease which has caused neuropathy, extreme anxiety, depression, muscle and joint issues and sleep problems( I don’t sleep much) the Matanuska Thunder Fuck sounds like it would help immeasurably! Maybe I could get off the opioids and benzodiazepines they have me on now. I’m not able to order seeds yet as I still live on NY but I did order the bible to get started. If love feedback on how you think that strain might work with my health issues? Thanx so much!
