Panama Pearl
Also known as: Panama Pearl Haze
Panama Pearl Strain Overview
Panama Pearl is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, a prominent Dutch seed bank. The strain was created by crossing a classic Panama Red landrace with a potent Pearl Haze, combining the tropical genetics of Central America with refined European breeding. This hybridization aimed to preserve the energetic, cerebral effects of traditional Panamanian sativas while improving consistency, yield, and resin production for modern cultivation. Panama Pearl represents a preservation effort of heirloom genetics from the Panama region, which were historically prized for their uplifting qualities and unique terpene profiles.
The strain typically produces medium-tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are moderately dense and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, pearl-like appearance that inspired part of the name. Panama Pearl's aroma is distinctly tropical and complex, featuring notes of citrus, mango, and pine with earthy undertones. The flavor profile follows suit, delivering a smooth smoke with sweet, fruity notes on the exhale.
Panama Pearl is known for its clear-headed, energetic effects that are characteristic of quality sativas. Users typically report an initial cerebral rush that promotes creativity, focus, and sociability without causing anxiety or paranoia when consumed in moderate amounts. The effects tend to be long-lasting while maintaining functionality, making this strain popular among those seeking daytime relief. As a relatively rare strain outside of specialty seed banks and connoisseur circles, Panama Pearl represents an important genetic preservation project that maintains access to traditional Panamanian cannabis characteristics.

Panama Pearl Strain Growing Information
Panama Pearl is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late 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 in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, sunny climate similar to its Panamanian heritage and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it thrives in greenhouse or outdoor settings with plenty of light. Plants tend to reach medium to tall heights (150-200 cm indoors, up to 250 cm outdoors) and may require training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and maximize yield. Panama Pearl responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds.
