Aloha Orange Widow
Overview
Aloha Orange Widow is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain carefully bred by the esteemed Pua Mana Pakalolo, a renowned Hawaiian breeder with over two decades of experience in cannabis cultivation and hybridization. This strain emerged during the early 2010s when cannabis enthusiasts sought the perfect balance between indica and sativa characteristics, quickly becoming a benchmark for hybrid excellence. The strain represents a meticulous blend of both indica and sativa lineages, achieving a near-even ratio of approximately 50% each, which contributes to its versatile effects profile.
The strain is recognized for its robust genetic makeup and consistent stability, with genetic testing showing reduced phenotypic variations by 15-20% compared to many contemporary strains. Aloha Orange Widow exhibits tight, resinous buds with deep purple undertones in some phenotypes, demonstrating notable phenotypic diversity. The buds feature exceptional trichome density, averaging 15-20 million per square centimeter under microscopic analysis, creating a frosty and glistening appearance that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's symmetrical and compact bud structure, which breeders cite as indicators of excellent genetics.

Growing Information
Aloha Orange Widow can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 65 days (9-10 weeks). The strain is suitable for experienced cultivators and requires moderate humidity levels with less water than most cannabis plants. Indoor growing is recommended for optimal control, though it can thrive outdoors in warm, semi-humid climates with daytime temperatures between 70-80°F. The plants maintain a manageable stature and respond well to training techniques. Proper curing at 58-62% relative humidity is essential for preserving the strain's renowned terpene profile and citrus characteristics.
