White Island
What is the White Island strain?
White Island is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its uplifted effects and earthy and herbal flavor profile.
White Island is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Kiwiseeds, composed of approximately 75% sativa and 25% indica genetics. Named after the active volcanic island constantly belching white clouds of steam off the coast of New Zealand, this strain represents a straight F1 hybrid cross between the strong sativa strain 'Mako' (a local New Zealand strain from the Bay of Plenty region) and the productive 'Kiwiskunk'. The Bay of Plenty region has been claimed by surveys to produce some of the highest THC content in cannabis worldwide, making this genetic foundation particularly potent.
White Island was recognized for its quality, winning third prize for 'best hash strain' at the 420 Growers Cup in 2007. The strain was specifically bred to combine the spicy sativa characteristics and flavors of the bush cannabis from New Zealand's Bay of Plenty region while maintaining reasonable flowering times thanks to the Kiwiskunk influence. This balanced approach resulted in a plant that preserves the desirable effects and taste profile of the native sativa while being more manageable for cultivation, making it accessible to both novice and experienced growers.
