Pono
Also known as: Ho'oponopono
What is the Pono strain?
Pono is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and fruity flavor profile.
Pono, also known as Ho'oponopono, is a hybrid cannabis strain bred by Magic Strains, a hobby breeder based in Denver, Colorado. The strain is an indica/sativa hybrid created from crossing Prayer Tower (bred by Bodhi Seeds) with Kona Gold (from Pua Mana Pakalolo). The name "Pono" comes from a Hawaiian word that means righteousness or moral goodness, reflecting its Hawaiian heritage through the Kona Gold parent.
Prayer Tower, one of the parent strains, is itself a cross between Lemon Thai and Appalachia, bringing both tropical sativa characteristics and complex hybrid genetics to the lineage. Kona Gold is a legendary Hawaiian sativa landrace strain that originated from the volcanic soils of Hawaii's Big Island, specifically the Kailua-Kona region. This F2 generation strain represents a second-generation cross, indicating some stabilization of traits from both parent lines.
Magic Strains was founded in 2014 as a boutique breeding operation focused on creating unique crosses that cannot be found elsewhere, specializing in limited-run genetics with an emphasis on live pollination techniques. The combination of Prayer Tower's uplifting, clarity-inducing effects with Kona Gold's legendary potency and tropical flavor profile makes Pono a strain that bridges modern hybrid breeding with classic Hawaiian landrace genetics.
