Haze Cannabis Seeds

Haze is the sativa branch of the cannabis family tree, and almost every modern sativa borrows from it. Below: what Haze actually is, where it came from, how it feels, and what growing one costs you in time.

What is Haze weed?

Haze is a group of sativa-dominant cannabis strains descended from a 1970s cross of landrace plants out of Mexico, Colombia, Thailand and southern India. Genetically the classics run roughly 70 to 75 percent sativa, which shows up as tall, stretchy plants and a clear-headed effect rather than a heavy body one. THC across the family sits between 18 and 21 percent, which is moderate by modern standards; Haze never competed on raw numbers, it competed on the quality of the high.

Haze effects and THC

How Haze makes you feel

Bright, talkative and mentally busy. The effect climbs quickly and stays in your head, which is why Haze suits daytime, conversation and creative work far better than an evening on the sofa. Newcomers sometimes find pure Haze too racy, and that is a fair warning rather than marketing.

Flavour and terpene profile

Terpinolene leads, with myrcene and pinene behind it: sharp citrus, black pepper, incense and a resinous pine note on the exhale. It is one of the few families you can identify blind.

Origins of Haze

The work happened in Santa Cruz, California, where the growers known as the Haze Brothers crossed their landrace imports season after season. Sam the Skunkman later carried seed to the Netherlands, where Dutch breeders shortened the flowering time and made Haze commercially growable. Everything from Amnesia Haze to Super Silver Haze descends from that transfer.

Growing Haze seeds

Time is the real cost. Amnesia Haze wants 12 to 13 weeks in flower where an indica finishes in eight, and the plant stretches to two or three times its vegetative height once flowering starts. Plan the headroom, or run a screen and weave the tops through it. Outdoors in northern Europe the photoperiod versions are a gamble; autoflowering seeds finish on their own schedule and sidestep the problem. Indoors, feminized seeds under a controlled cycle give the most per plant.

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.
