The History and Genetics of The Blood Strain
The Blood is a Hawaiian landrace phenotype that appears so rarely that it has gained a mythological status among growers. The Blood was given its name for the red veins found in its stems and leaves, and the deep red sap that flows from them. The Pua Mana 1st Hawaiian Pakalōlō Seed Bank’s Kona Gold “Blood” phenotype and other “Blood” phenotypes are believed to be a sign from Ke Akua (God), blessing the grower and signaling an abundant harvest.
The Blood Strain: Aroma, Flavor & Appearance
The Blood, a phenotype of the classic Chemdawg BX4 strain, has oversized spade-shaped minty green nugs with reddish gold undertones, thin red-orange hairs, and tiny pinkish white crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin. Aromas of sour citrus and pungent peppery chemicals are released, and the flavor follows with a sour lemony overtone accented by spicy black pepper and cough-inducing chemicals.
