Description
“We started hundreds of Kona Gold seeds in 2019 and selected ten mothers from those. At the same time, we had started around 50 or so seeds from 2016 that we had made in Oregon, but they were unlabelled. As they flowered together, we found Oregon seeds to be incredibly resinous and covered in trichs. As such we simply labeled the plant “Oregon Hash Plant”. It smelled like citrus and peppercorns and was so sticky it would linger on our fingers and noses hours after de-leafing or smelling it. It was clear that the skunky Sativa Kona Gold would make an amazing cross with the fat, fast-flowering hash plant. We took the most vigorous male and crossed him with him he selected Kona’s mom. The resulting cross has many phenos, ranging from fruit citrus skunk to sweet caryophyllene pepper and everything in between. Very medicinal, anti-anxiety smoke. ”

Kona Gold, a pure landrace heirloom sativa genetic strain from Mount Zion, can be grown indoors (with a flowering time of approximately 70 days), outdoors, and in a greenhouse. This THC-dominant variety is not available in feminized seeds.
The Mount Zion Seed Cooperative describes Kona Gold as Hawaii’s best-kept secret, boasting a superior flavor, yield, cannabinoid profile, and flower structure compared to Maui Wowie. The strain offers an array of exotic flavors, such as lemon-lime, coconut, mango, spruce/Douglas fir, pineapple, and flowers.
The lineage of Kona Gold can be traced back to a member of the cooperative in western Canada, who faced strict plant limits under Queen and Trudeau, leaving him with only four plants. After starting four seeds, he was surprised with two sets of twins, making for a total of six plants. Faced with the difficult decision of exceeding plant limits or killing the miracle babies, he selflessly chose to conduct an open pollination seed run with all six plants. As a result of his dedication and sacrifice, the twin trait has been well-preserved in the Kona Gold line.
Kona Gold’s unique smoke offers a racy, euphoric, and ceilingless high that is unrivaled in the market today. Some phenotypes of this strain are known to cause spontaneous unplanned hikes and runs, making it a truly exceptional sativa variety.
