Hawaiian Sativas

[MAHA KALA]

Jay from Federation/Next generation mentions the addition of more BLD into their hawaiin Sativa on his potcast interview.

Wasn’t exactly sure if he meant back in the day at federation or in his next generation release(which is now BLD heavy).

I don't know version of next generations seeds, but they mixed indica in at Hawaii in my opinion. almost all sativas were crossed with indica in 80s in western world... very few stated untouched. even 90s mexicans are different to those from 70s due to it.

pics are in this album:

but I don't know if it is visible for you though. it sucks.

Possibly Colombians and Thais are too long in flower

mexican and Swazi are shorter flowering times and more likely to make it to harvest before a major rain event

Johnny D was a Hilo grown (Panaewa if I remember right) strain from the early 90s (possibly earlier) that was a cross of southeast Asian genetics.
Portions of the west side of the islands are quite dry and desert like so there is no reason any strain couldn't be grown there. The wind and lack of cover could have been an issue for large scale production though.

Good grief what a time to be alive

A lot of Thai genetics were taken back to the Islands from returning service men during the Nam war, that was what I was told by a Maui native who knew Mr Maui the ex Cali guy that moved there who some refer to as the Boal (think it is ).

They used all types of lines in the breeding, from Thais Afghan to Hash plants things changed in the mid 80s as a result of a group or groups from Mexico things got crazy people got hurt and worse and the DEA then came down on all of them, and it went down hill from there.

Hawaii is no different to Jamaica or even Thailand these days it's full of Dutch hybris.

Thanks for the link man.
The loading of the photos is a bit clunky but I could see your KG and a nice national geographic style photo

@mexcurandero420 what was the year that Hawaiin price list came out?
Interesting to see that Puna was the primo then.

In the hotter and drier areas of Puna such as from Kalapana to Royal Gardens (alot of which is now covered by lava), its possible to grow thicker more indica plants with less mold issues. These were big growing areas before Green Harvest. It could be why the buds from there were considered more potent. When Green Harvest was heavy, many growers grew small plants in bags and would move the bags under cover for 2 or 3 days until Green Haarvest moved on. Word spread quickly once the Green Harvest helicopters showed up at the Hilo airport or KMC in Volcano.

That explains a lot.
