Published on September 16, 2016 · Last updated July 28, 2020

This week’s New Strains Alert is a surprisingly sativa-dominant bouquet of flowers from Hawai’i, the circus, and a galaxy far, far away. We’ve added three distinct Hawaiian landrace strains that are loaded with tropical terpenes and history. For all the Chemdawg enthusiasts, dig into some Stardawg Guava, which combines two awesome Chemdawg cuts, Chemdawg 4 and Tres Stardawg. Hang loose, y’all, and be good to each other.

Leafly Moloka'i Frost indica cannabis strain tile
Moloka’i Frost

Moloka’i Frost (also known as Moloka’i Hashplant) is a potent sativa-dominant strain with a robust medicinal history. In 1969, residents of the Lalaaupapa Moloka’i leper colony were allowed to leave and access modern medicine. But a special medicine also left the Kalawao Valley (pronounced ka-la-wow), too. This flower grows like a sativa, but exhibits extremely powerful indica-like effects, including heavy sedation, strong analgesic effects, and latent euphoria that complements this strain’s heavy body elements. This rare resinous flower is a Hawaiian landrace worth seeking out.

Kalalau Kush is a stimulating sativa-dominant hybrid named for the beautiful Kalalau Valley on the garden island of Kaua’i. This flower smells of guava with herbaceous undertones. The flavor is tropical, exhibiting hints of mango and musky spice. Kalalau Kush offers consumers potent cerebral energy and vigorous physical stimulation. It is ideal for outdoor activity and for patients combating depression and lethargy. This strain is produced by Pua Mana 1st Hawaiian Pakalōlō Seed Bank.

This strain hits the consumer square between the eyes with uplifting sativa stimulation and then cascades over the body with a subtle, vibrating warmth. Its aroma is mild but doesn’t lack nuance, expressing notes of pine, cheese, and tartness. A latent chemical flavor rolls off the palate with a clean, earthy finish. Enjoy this strain to relieve stress, mute depression, and curb minor physical aches and pains.
