White Molokai
Also known as: Molokai Frost, Molokai White
White Molokai Strain Overview
White Molokai is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from Hawaiian breeding programs in the late 1990s. The strain was developed by crossing Hawaiian landrace genetics with White Widow, creating a unique hybrid that combines tropical characteristics with the resin production for which White Widow is famous. The name references both its white trichome coverage and its Hawaiian heritage, specifically the island of Molokai, though the exact connection to that particular island remains somewhat unclear in breeding records.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The flowers typically display vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may emerge in cooler growing conditions. White Molokai's aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, tropical fruit notes with a distinct pine undertone. The flavor follows this aromatic complexity, offering a smooth smoke with sweet, fruity notes on the exhale.
White Molokai gained some popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and unique terpene profile, though it never achieved the widespread commercial distribution of more mainstream strains. Its rarity means that authentic examples can be difficult to find, and there is some variation between different breeders' interpretations of the strain. The genetics are considered stable, with consistent expression of traits across multiple generations when properly cultivated.

White Molokai Strain Growing Information
White Molokai is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plant prefers a warm, humid environment reminiscent of its Hawaiian heritage, making it particularly well-suited for outdoor cultivation in Mediterranean or tropical climates. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) and moderate humidity levels. White Molokai plants tend to be medium in height, typically reaching 4-6 feet (120-180 cm) outdoors and 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) indoors when properly managed.
Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize light penetration and yield. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
