Overview
Hawaiian Snow is a legendary sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Green House Seeds, renowned as one of the most celebrated sativas in cannabis history. This award-winning strain claimed first place at the 2003 High Times Cannabis Cup and represents a masterful blend of pure sativa genetics. The strain combines the genetics of Hawaiian Haze, Purple Haze, and Neville's Haze, though some sources indicate a cross between Hawaiian sativa landrace and Laos genetics.
Hawaiian Snow produces visually stunning buds characterized by medium green coloration punctuated by vibrant orange-red hairs, creating an aesthetically pleasing contrast that reflects its tropical heritage. The flowers are notably long and large, forming compact structures with small round calyxes that create towering formations adorned with prominent orange pistils. The strain's appearance is further enhanced by dense trichome coverage that gives the buds a distinctive frosty appearance, reflecting its potent cannabinoid profile. This remarkable strain has earned its place as a cornerstone of modern cannabis breeding and continues to be celebrated for its exceptional quality and consistent performance.

Growing Information
Hawaiian Snow is considered an intermediate to advanced strain for cultivation due to its extended flowering period and tall growth characteristics. Flowering time ranges from 10-14 weeks, making patience essential for optimal results. Plants exhibit vigorous sativa structure with tall, stretchy growth that can exceed 2 meters indoors, requiring ample vertical space or direct 12/12 lighting to manage height. Indoor yields can reach up to 700 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce exceptional yields of up to 1200 grams per plant. Outdoor harvesting occurs between October-November in the Northern hemisphere and June in the Southern hemisphere. The strain thrives in warm climates with temperatures of 22-28°C during the day and humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering. Both soil and hydroponic growing methods are suitable, with soil enhancing terpene profiles and hydroponics potentially increasing yields.
