Puna Pilau - Big Island Genetics

@Roosterdoo, hey buddy. I don't have much experience with the old school Hawiian heirlooms so I don't have much to compare to but all of the guys a little older than me that have smoked some of the the greats like Kauai electric and Puna Buddha are always banging on about the strength and sweet flavours so I decided to try and find some. I reached out to a few breeders that claimed to have strains that claimed to have the real deal. Most either didn't reply or said they was out of stock and offered alternatives apart from Big Island Genetics. The guy that owns BIG lives on the island and claims to have the originals from the elders of the island. He gets a lot of stick from others for either sharing the genetic or they claim he's a liar. I decided to drop a couple hundred dollars on a few of his beans and see what they were all about. Super sketchy payment process lol he's not really setup to take payments so I had to wire money via cashapp and hope he didn't rip me off but they arrived with some freebies included. All seeds are regular from BIG. I was skeptical but I've grown out both Puna Pilau and Electric Purple and both were spot on. They both have that classic Hawiian sweet/rotten fruit terpene and are great plants. I 100% recommend reaching out to BIG and having a chat with the guy he's super helpful and will hook you up. Even if they not like what you remember, the strains are top-notch and you won't be disappointed. They have a Punna Buddah IBL available on their site right now.
