This is indeed an elusive strain. It became a overnight rarity on September 11, 1992 after Kaua'i took a direct hit from hurricane Iniki. Iniki was a category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 145mph. The destruction to the island and the strain was devistating. Some of the growers who had managed to rescue some seeds tried to restart the strain, but Kaua'i's ifrastructure was wiped out. Kaua'i Electric is a strain well suited for indoor growing and most of it was grown that way - not many places to hide a garden on the Garden Island. In the aftermath of Iniki, most of the island had little or no electricity for months so many of the growers replanted with strains from the other islands (Maui Wowie, Kona Gold, Punch ...) that are more well suited to growing outdoors. And so, not much of the strain survives. I got my seeds from a grower who escaped to Maui on one the last flights off the island. When he returned, he learned that he had lost everything so he left the island heartbroken. I have grown Kaua'i Electric in Southern California for 20 years both indoor and outdoor. I've never had it tested, but the high is a long lasting, alert, cerebral buzz suggesting a strong sativa presence. It has a relatively long grow cycle outdoors, at least at this latitude. It can grow up to 10' and takes well to bending and staking and espaliers. Buds are large and quite stinky and sticky, but not dense. There is a tendancy to hermaphrodite especially with old seed stock -- clones easily though. It's great for a working buzz (even driving) but not so good for sleep.
