Cold Hawaii
Also known as: Cold Hawaii OG
Cold Hawaii Strain Overview
Cold Hawaii is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the tropical characteristics of Hawaiian genetics with the resilience of Northern California varieties. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure within cannabis lore, it gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green foliage contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often display purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, particularly during the final weeks of flowering. Cold Hawaii is noted for its complex aroma that evolves as the flowers cure.
Cold Hawaii represents a carefully balanced hybrid that combines tropical sativa influences with relaxing indica characteristics. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its reported effects, which some users describe as providing a 'cool,' clear-headed experience reminiscent of a tropical breeze. While not widely available in commercial markets, it maintains a dedicated following among home growers and boutique cannabis producers who appreciate its unique qualities.

Cold Hawaii Strain Growing Information
Cold Hawaii is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Cold Hawaii is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during flowering. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and may display enhanced purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.
