elusive strain

anyone ever hear of strain called kauai electric?if so any info on where to get them?

hey Doc

The strain peaked my interest so I searched for an hour or so and unfortunaltely came up with these two ideas about why the strain isn't used by breeders and that even in Hawaii its near impossible to get.

"Hawaiian

Hawaiian a true classic. There is something special about a good island herb, and Hawaiian is among the best. When properly grown outdoors it has a wonderful and unique bouquet of fruity spice, similar to the sweetness of the fine Thai, but with a kind of tangy taste.

Good Hawaiian herb has always been a devastatingly powerful experience for me. It is very psychedelic and internally focused, contemplative and overpoweringly meditative. A Walk with the King, a Dance with the Queen, and a sunset on the beach! Aah... Hawaiian!

I have tried to equal the Hawaiian experience outdoor on the mainland, and indoors, with no success. Everything I have grown from Hawaiian stock turned out to be nowhere near the quality of the parent stock. This is true for three generations of trials. The product from Hawaiian seed was equal to the best plants grown from mid-quality Colombian stock!

This led me to a hypothesis about Hawaii: that just about any stock grown in Hawaii will turn out to be of unique and relatively high quality. Hawaii just happens to be one of those special places, I suppose.

All breeding attempts with Hawaiian stock were dumped from my garden by 1983. It was a pretty and robust plant though, and also quite productive. Just not all that impressive when grown outside its homeland."

Not Kauai Electric but DJ Short is talking in gereralities I believe.

Unless you have good friends here, most people will tell you what you want to hear regardless of truth or origin. Sad but true.

You are looking on the wrong island first off. Big I strains are different from Kauai, which is different from Maui, which is different than Oahu ect... Second off the Electric was an indoor strain, thus the name Electric. Most indoor growers worldwide keep their mouths shut, imagine an island

Third off, the strain is dated, oldschool. Finding pure, well kept seeds or clones is like finding a buried treasure. Good luck. I live in Hawaii and believe me the "Kauai Electric" is oldschool. I have only run across 2 verified instances in the last 10 yrs. The bud was ok. Defiantly had the Kauai vibe though. I can see why you want to hunt this down. I wish you luck

P.S. There is way better strains than the Electric, try to source some of those, you stand a much better chance. Aloha"
