What is the Ala Moana strain?
Ala Moana is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.5% THC, known for its euphoric effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Ala Moana means "path to the sea" in Hawaiian. This sativa dominant hybrid strain with some narrow leaf characteristics was developed by SappFire Seeds as a cross between Hawaiian Snow and Bay 11. The strain originates from multiple regions including Afghanistan, Colombia, Laos, Mexico, Thailand, and United States, reflecting its complex genetic heritage through its parent strains.
Ala Moana can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with a flowering time of approximately 75 days. Some phenotypes have an earthy, woody, floral type smell that is found in pure Sativa landraces from countries in Southeast Asia such as Laos. The strain combines the award-winning genetics of Hawaiian Snow, a 2003 Cannabis Cup winner that is a trifecta of Haze genetics, with Bay 11, a 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup Award winner known as an outstanding Sativa strain. This genetic combination creates a unique cultivar that embodies both the tropical characteristics of Hawaiian genetics and the energizing qualities of competition-grade sativa strains.
