Pono

Pono is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 22-28% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Pono high as a true two-sided experience — an energizing cerebral lift arrives first, sliding gradually into a mellow body calm that relaxes without switching you off completely. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, Pono is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Pono has a delicious citrus and lemon flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a citrus-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has chunky popcorn-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Pono is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Pono family — see Purple Pono for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
