Summary / Suitability

Kiwi is a vibrant hybrid from Lost Pheno Genetics that merges Himalayan resin production with the colorful fruit profile of Colombian sativas. Its lineage reflects decades of equatorial cannabis evolution, combining the structure of Nepal Hindu Kush with the terpenes and energy of Santa Marta Colombian Gold. With an 8-week flowering period and high resin density, Kiwi is ideal for tropical or high-altitude outdoor cultivation, producing aromatic, flavorful, and visually striking results.

Genetic Background

The cross between Nepal Hindu Kush and Santa Marta Colombian Gold unites two legendary regions in a single cultivar. The Colombian parent contributes tropical aromas, long bud formation, and electric sativa character, while the Nepalese side adds compact calyx structure, dense trichome production, and balanced cannabinoid expression. This selection embodies the global journey of cannabis along the equator, representing more than fifty years of open-pollinated outdoor evolution.

Plant Characteristics

Kiwi grows with elegant sativa posture—tall but evenly structured, with flexible stems and balanced branching. The leaves are narrow and bright green with serrated edges, and internodal spacing allows for excellent airflow. Resin glands appear early and expand rapidly, forming large, rounded trichome heads. The plants adapt naturally to intense light and variable humidity, making them reliable performers in both tropical and subtropical greenhouses.

Flower Characteristics

The flowers are long, compact, and richly resinous, with trichome coverage extending across sugar leaves and calyx tips. Buds take on a light green hue with golden pistils that darken toward harvest. Aromas evolve throughout flowering—beginning with subtle sweetness and maturing into sharp kiwi, pineapple, and floral spice. The cured product displays a smooth balance of fruit and earth tones, with a sticky, crystalline texture that holds exceptional aroma retention.

Growing Tips

Kiwi performs best under strong light and moderate feeding schedules. Early topping or training helps shape its natural height and encourages even canopy development. The plant’s resilience to mold and pests allows minimal intervention during late flower. For optimal flavor and terpene intensity, use living soil or organic nutrition and allow full-term ripening in warm, dry conditions.

Effects & Potency

Kiwi produces a clear, joyful high that encourages focus, creativity, and social connection. The onset is energetic and cerebral, gradually softening into an easy, uplifting calm. Its hybrid cannabinoid balance provides a layered experience that is both mentally stimulating and physically grounding, suitable for daytime or early evening use.

Appearance & Aroma / Flavor Profile

Cured buds are bright and frosted with translucent resin, displaying a tropical scent of ripe kiwi and citrus peel over gentle earth tones. The smoke is smooth and slightly creamy, offering flavors of sweet fruit, floral spice, and a soft herbal finish. Visually, the flower captures the essence of its lineage—colorful, resin-rich, and unmistakably tropical.
