...not really sure where the "Hawaiian" genetics from some seed banks come from, and most of the Maui Waui sold in smoke shops is not the real deal... from what I understand that strain went extinct a long time ago. The reason people say bud from hawaii is the best, is because it is! We get a UVB rating out here that is 2, 3, and sometimes 4 times what the mainland USA gets... I know some uncles that have grown for yearrrrrrrs, and their regular strains of white widdow, blueberry, and other ordinary regular names, have adapted and flourish out here in the extreme temperatures. Kona Gold is a great strain... but I live in kona town, and never have I seen seeds or clones for it...
