Hawaiian Knucks
Also known as: Hawaiian Knuckles
Hawaiian Knucks Strain Overview
Hawaiian Knucks is a relatively rare cannabis strain that combines genetics from Hawaiian and Kush lineages. While comprehensive historical documentation is limited, the strain appears to have emerged from boutique breeding circles in the early 2010s, with breeders aiming to create a tropical-flavored hybrid with balanced effects. The name references both its Hawaiian heritage and the 'knuckle' structure of its dense buds.
The strain produces medium-sized plants with distinctive visual characteristics. Buds typically display a dense, chunky structure with vibrant green coloration accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The foliage often exhibits broad leaves characteristic of its Kush ancestry, while maintaining some sativa-like stretching tendencies. Hawaiian Knucks is noted for its resinous buds that break apart easily, revealing complex aromatic profiles.
Notable features include its tropical flavor profile and balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has gained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene expression and reliable performance. While not as widely available as commercial strains, Hawaiian Knucks maintains popularity in certain regional markets and among home growers seeking distinctive genetics.

Hawaiian Knucks Strain Growing Information
Hawaiian Knucks is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outside. Plants exhibit moderate height, reaching 120-180 cm indoors and potentially 200 cm outdoors with proper training. Hawaiian Knucks responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining consistent humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding but are sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase. Adequate airflow and spacing between plants are recommended to support the dense bud structure.
