About Haze Strains
Often mentioned in the same breath as other classic strains like Skunk and Kush, Haze is a real hallmark of the cannabis community. In fact, these three strains form the basis of pretty much all hybrids on the modern market. With that in mind, you know you’re in good hands when growing a Haze strain.
While legendary status in the cannabis world isn’t enough, there’s a lot more to Haze than just a great pedigree. Haze strains can rival and even surpass some of the strongest strains on the scene today. Allow us to walk you through everything there is to know about Haze, including its origins, innovations, and why it’s worth getting some Haze seeds.
THE ORIGINS OF HAZE
The modern history of Haze can be traced back to Santa Cruz, California. It was here that Haze was originally developed back in the 1960s and 70s.
She is the project of two breeders – aptly named “Haze Brothers” – who wanted to create a groundbreaking Sativa. The brothers are said to have stumbled across the genetics by crossing seeds that were available to them 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, while others claim that Acapulco Gold and an Indian landrace were also part of the cross. Whatever genetics it is composed of, the brothers were onto something big when they created Haze. Since the 1970s, she has risen to become a mainstay in the cannabis community, displaying truly unique properties.
WHY BUY HAZE CLONES?
With so many varieties available, why should Haze Cannabis clones deserve your attention?
First off, Haze has a seductively spicy aroma with notes of citrus and earthiness that carry over amazingly well to her taste. Whether you want to smoke her, vape her, or create concentrates from her, Haze offers a flavour experience like no other.
Haze strains are also synonymous with a heady, cerebral, pseudo-psychedelic high fueled by THC levels in the 20% range. Users can expect an energizing and uplifting effect, making Haze a great strain for social gatherings or boosting creativity.
In terms of cultivation, modern Haze strains can reach heights of a good 2m and take between 10 and 16 weeks to flower, depending on the cultivar. While not generally difficult plants, most Haze strains require plenty of sun and space to thrive. That said, there are some auto-flowering and fast-flowering Haze varieties that are suited to less-than-optimal outdoor conditions or growing in controlled environments.
POPULAR HAZE VARIANTS
Since its creation, Haze has remained an enormously popular choice for cannabis lovers. Luckily, you don’t have to look far to find a quality Haze strain. Today there are variants that are suitable for practically any type of environment. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Haze hybrids currently available.
PURPLE HAZE
Sharing the same name as a song by Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze is a Sativa-dominant hybrid of Haze and Purple and offers incredibly sweet and earthy aromas. She is also a colourful plant, displaying light purple hues when exposed to lower temperatures towards the end of the flowering phase. Once the buds have been harvested, dried and cured, users can expect an uplifting and euphoric high that is perfect for smoking a pipe, joint or vape. Check out our purple haze!
