Hawaiian Sunrise
Hawaiian Sunrise
Overview
Hawaiian Sunrise is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (approximately 70% sativa/30% indica to 91% sativa according to some sources) with mysterious origins traced back to the Hawaiian islands. The strain was acquired by Colorado Seed Inc. around 2009 and has since become a breeder favorite, serving as the parent for many tropical cannabis varieties including Hibiscus Sunrise and Aloha Limone. Despite its widespread use in breeding programs, specific lineage information remains unclear, with some sources suggesting Hawaiian and Trainwreck genetics.
This strain produces small to medium-sized buds that are grape-shaped with light minty green coloration, abundant long thin orange pistils, and a thick coating of amber-colored crystal trichomes. The plant typically grows tall with significant spacing between nodes, requiring adequate vertical growing space and benefiting from training techniques like SCROG. Hawaiian Sunrise is known for its light yield despite producing high-quality, potent buds that are considered worth the cultivation effort by experienced growers.

Growing Information
Hawaiian Sunrise is considered to have average growing difficulty and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Indoor flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks (56 days), while outdoor harvest typically occurs around October in the Northern Hemisphere. The plant grows quite tall due to its sativa genetics and requires at least 5 feet of vertical space. Yields are notoriously light to moderate, but the quality of the buds produced is exceptional. The strain benefits from training techniques like SCROG or topping to manage its height and improve light distribution. It prefers consistent light, water, and nutrient levels with attention to temperature and humidity for optimal growth. Hawaiian Sunrise is not available as feminized seeds and was historically only available in regular seed form from Colorado Seed Inc.
