Haze Strains

Often mentioned in the same breath as other classic strains such as Skunk and Kush, Haze is truly a hallmark of the cannabis community. In fact, these three strains form the foundation of practically all hybrids on the modern market. With that in mind, you know you're in good hands when it comes to growing a Haze strain of your own.

While legendary status only goes so far in the cannabis world, Haze has a lot more than just a great pedigree. Haze strains hold up against, and even outperform, some of the heaviest hitters on the scene today. Allow us to take you through everything you need to know about Haze, including its origins, recreations, and why it’s worth picking up some Haze seeds of your own.

Origins of Haze

The modern history of Haze can be traced back to Santa Cruz, California. Back in the 1960s and 70s, it was here that Haze was originally formulated.

As the brainchild of two breeders aptly named the “Haze Brothers”, they set to work creating a groundbreaking strain. The brothers are said to have stumbled onto the genetics by combining the available seeds they had at the time. However, the exact combination is shrouded in mystery.

Some claim that Haze is the result of crossing Colombian Gold with a Thai landrace, whereas others believe that Acapulco Gold and an Indian landrace were also part of the mix. Whatever the ingredients, the brothers were onto something when they created Haze. Since the 1970s, it's become a mainstay in the cannabis community, boasting truly unique characteristics.

Why buy Haze seeds?

With so many varieties available, why do Haze seeds deserve your attention?

To start, Haze has an enticing spicy aroma with flecks of citrus and earthiness that carry over amazingly to her flavour. Whether you're looking to smoke, vape, or create concentrates, Haze offers a flavour experience unlike any other.

Haze strains are also synonymous with a rushing, cerebral, pseudo-psychedelic high—powered by THC levels in the 20% range. Users can anticipate an energetic and uplifting effect that makes Haze a great strain for socialising and boosting creativity.

In terms of cultivation, modern Haze strains can reach heights well above 2m and take between 10 and 16 weeks to flower, depending on the cultivar. Though not inherently difficult plants, most Hazes require lots of sun and room to flourish. That said, there are some automatic and fast-flowering Hazes that are suitable for less-than-ideal outdoor conditions or indoor operations.

Popular Haze variations

Since its creation, Haze has remained a hugely popular choice for the cannabis connoisseur. Thankfully, you don't have to search far to find a high-quality Haze strain. Today, there are variants suited to practically every type of setting. Let's take a look at some of the most popular Haze hybrids currently available.

Purple Haze

Sharing its name with the Jimi Hendrix song, Purple Haze is a sativa-dominant cross of Haze and Purple Thai that offers up incredible sweet and earthy aromas. She's also a colourful plant, showcasing light purple hues when exposed to colder temperatures toward the end of her flowering stage. Once the buds have been harvested, dried, and cured, users can expect an uplifting and euphoric high that's perfect for pipe, paper, or vaporizer.

Lemon Haze

There are no prizes for guessing the flavour profile of Lemon Haze, but those looking for the ultimate sweet and sour citrus experience will undoubtedly want to check out this cultivar. Her buds boast a great combination of green, yellow, and orange hues, making her quite the eye-catching specimen. With a moderate THC content of around 18%, users can anticipate energetic, uplifting effects. Lemon Haze typically takes around 12 weeks to flower, so while she might not be the fastest, she excels in practically all other areas.

Amnesia Haze

As one of the first Haze strains available in Europe, Amnesia Haze is simply unforgettable. Regarded by many as the finest example of Haze around, she's also been awarded multiple cannabis cups. This is a highly receptive and resilient strain that will serve newcomers and the more experienced well. Boasting around 22% THC, she offers a powerful high that will have heads spinning in next to no time. However, she's a tall plant that needs a little room to stretch out. But after around 11 weeks of flowering, she'll be ready to yield 650g/m² of sweet, citrus-tinged buds.
