Kona Gold is a sativa selection from the Hawaiian line. Known for tropical, pineapple, mango aromatics.

Kona Gold (also circulated as Kona) is a sativa selection bred out of the Hawaiian genetic family. In breeding programs, it has served as a parent line for Godzilla Glue and The Blood.

Photoperiod cuts typically finish flowering in 9–11 weeks (~63–77 days) under indoor or greenhouse lighting.

Jars of Kona Gold are most often described as showing tropical fruit, tropical pineapple, ripe mango and sweet orange and tangerine. Chemotype data points to earthy, herbal myrcene, peppery beta-caryophyllene and bright, citrus-forward limonene as the primary aromatic drivers, with batch-to-batch variation depending on cultivation and curing.
