Hala Kahiki Haze
Also known as: Hawaiian Haze, Hala Haze
Hala Kahiki Haze Strain Overview
Hala Kahiki Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to Hawaiian landrace genetics, specifically bred to emphasize tropical characteristics and uplifting cerebral effects. The name 'Hala Kahiki' references the Hawaiian term for pineapple (hala kahiki literally translates to 'foreign pandanus'), reflecting the strain's distinctive tropical fruit aroma and flavor profile. Breeders developed this strain by crossing classic Hawaiian sativa genetics with other haze varieties to stabilize the tropical terpene expression while maintaining the energetic, creative effects associated with traditional sativas.
Visually, Hala Kahiki Haze plants typically display elongated, spear-shaped buds with vibrant green coloration and occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. The flowers are often densely packed with trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the bud structure. The strain's most notable feature is its complex aromatic profile, which combines sweet tropical fruit notes with earthy, spicy undertones characteristic of haze genetics.
While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, Hala Kahiki Haze has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique terpene expression and clear-headed effects. The strain represents a preservation effort of Hawaiian cannabis genetics, which have historically contributed important sativa characteristics to the global cannabis gene pool. Its development reflects the ongoing work of breeders to maintain regional genetic diversity while creating strains with specific aromatic and effect profiles.

Hala Kahiki Haze Strain Growing Information
Hala Kahiki Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience with sativa-dominant plants. The strain has a relatively long flowering time of 10-12 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach considerable heights, often stretching 150-200% during the flowering phase, with indoor plants reaching 5-6 feet and outdoor plants potentially exceeding 8 feet. Yield is moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-22 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain prefers warm, humid conditions reminiscent of its Hawaiian origins but requires good air circulation to prevent mold. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. Hala Kahiki Haze responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from extended vegetative growth periods to maximize yield potential.
