Cold Hawaii is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Cold Hawaii is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s.

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.
