Strain Review: Hawaiian

This bud sure looks tasty huh?

Name: Hawaiian
From: Southwest Alternative Care (Denver, CO)
Type: Sativa
Price: $45/eighth

This Hawaiian, from Southwest Alternative Care, is sure to get your head where it needs to be.  Hawaiian is a Sativa originating from, well, Hawaii.  The genetics were stabilized by crossing plants with desirable traits to produce consistent offspring that were more flavorful and potent.  This is what I had the privilege of medicating on and reviewing tonight.

The first thing I noticed about these buds, before even looking at them, was the aroma.  They smelled mellow, like fresh cut fruit.  The smell was not too pungent, but very enjoyable.  The Hawaiian buds were a light green color and heavily frosted with trichomes.  I also noticed quite a few long orange hairs peeking through their calyx clusters.  The buds had been trimmed well, leaving only a few leaves that were also trich-covered.  One complaint would be that the main stem on the nugs were large, but when you ripped off a chunk to pack a bowl there were only a few small stems to sort out.  These buds were fairly dense for a Sativa, but broke up easily.

The smoke itself was smooth and fruity on the exhale which was very enjoyable and the high produced from the Hawaiian is fantastic.  I was able to get a good body high without getting the stoney bologna couch-lock feeling typical of an Indica.  The head high was strong, but I was not unfocused throughout the duration, which lasted a few hours.  These Hawaiian buds were very pleasant to smoke and I would love to get this strain again.
