Aloha is a sativa cannabis strain that, as the name suggests, has its origins in Hawaii. The exact genetics are not known, but it seems likely that it is derived from Hawaiian sativa landrace strain. It is known for its energetic and thoughtful high and its THC level is around 15% to 18%.
Aloha has loose fluffy leaves that are a bright green. There is a coating of red pistils as well as a covering of white trichomes, producing a very colorful effect. After curing, Aloha has a sweet and citrus aroma. When ground it unlocks a herbal scent, similar to the popular Haze strain. Aloha produces a very smooth smoke that is easy to inhale and gives flavors of citrus on the exhale.
Aloha provides a fast onset high and it is often accompanied by slight distortion of sights and sounds. Many smokers say that it also gives a sense of time slowing down. Users will find that their thoughts start flowing quickly, which can be a great aid to conversation or creativity. Furthermore, many find that the high helps them focus on work and get things down. Importantly, it is not a strain that has many physical effects, there is almost no chance of couchlock, rather, it is a perfect wake and bake strain.
Many have said that Aloha can help with attention deficit disorders and thanks to its uplifting properties, it can also help with mild depression and stress. However, it is not recommended for those who are prone to panic or paranoia.
Aloha can be grown both indoors and outdoors; however, it is very hard to obtain seeds. The plants can grow very tall, so will need trimming early in the growing process. The plants have a flowering time of between 9 and 12 weeks.
