Haze

The story of Haze

Haze is the founding father of the entire modern sativa world. Bred in Santa Cruz in the 1970s by two brothers known as the Haze Brothers, it stitched together landrace sativas from Thailand, Oaxaca, Colombia and southern India into a pure, electric, spice-and-fruit high that nothing before it had matched. The seeds traveled to Holland in the 1980s, where they seeded Northern Lights #5, Skunk and virtually every Dutch breeding program since. Every 'haze' on any menu - Super Silver, Lemon, Purple, Mango - descends from this cultivar.

Terpene breakdown

• Terpinolene (0.71%): an electric, fresh spice that defines sativa character.
• Ocimene (0.45%): a sweet, herbal brightness.
• Myrcene (0.22%): the relaxed, body-heavy base.

Haze's dominant terp is Terpinolene, and it leads the flavour on every inhale.

Growing Haze

A true landrace-influenced sativa: tall, leggy, with a 10 to 12 week flower that punishes the impatient. It needs vertical space, strong light and patience, but rewards with spear-shaped foxtail buds and the authentic old-school flavour that modern fast-flowering versions can only imitate. Historic cultivar - grow it for the experience.

How to consume Haze

Pure sativa energy: fast, cerebral and long-lasting, with a racy edge that beginners should respect. At 16 to 22 percent THC the percentage undersells the intensity - landrace sativas hit above their weight. Morning and daytime only; creative work, socializing and outdoor activity are the use cases.

Haze vs similar strains

Super Silver Haze is Haze tamed and awarded - faster, steadier, stronger. Jack Herer is the other great refinement, smoother and more forgiving. Purple Haze adds the purple colour and a softer ride, while Mango Haze and Super Lemon Haze select for fruit expression. Against parent-influenced Northern Lights the contrast is total: energy vs sedation.
