Big Hawaiian
Also known as: Hawaiian Big Bud
Big Hawaiian Strain Overview
Big Hawaiian is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the tropical genetics of Hawaiian landrace varieties with the robust characteristics of Big Bud. This strain emerged during the late 1990s when breeders sought to create a high-yielding plant with the distinctive flavor profile of Hawaiian sativas. The strain represents a careful balance between the cerebral effects typical of Hawaiian sativas and the physical relaxation associated with Big Bud's indica heritage.
Visually, Big Hawaiian plants are characterized by large, dense colas with bright green buds often accented by orange pistils. The flowers are typically resinous with a sticky texture, and the plants exhibit vigorous growth patterns with broad leaves. The strain's aroma combines sweet tropical fruit notes with earthy undertones, creating a distinctive sensory profile that has made it popular among connoisseurs.
Big Hawaiian is known for its adaptability to various growing conditions and its relatively short flowering time compared to pure Hawaiian sativas. While not as widely available as some commercial hybrids, it maintains a dedicated following among growers who appreciate its combination of tropical flavors and substantial yields. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation.
