Haze Seeds: Sativa Genetics, Feminized and Auto

Haze is where modern sativa genetics begin. Here is what these seeds are, where they came from, how they smell and behave, and what a Haze grow asks of you in a British climate.

What are Haze cannabis seeds?

Haze seeds grow sativa-dominant plants descended from a 1970s cross of landraces out of Mexico, Colombia, Thailand and southern India. The classics run about 70 to 75 percent sativa, giving tall plants, long flowering and a clear, cerebral effect. THC across the family sits between 18 and 21 percent, moderate by modern standards but paired with a high that heavier strains cannot copy.

Origins of Haze

The Haze Brothers and the original landrace cross

Two growers in Santa Cruz spent successive seasons crossing imported landrace sativas until the line stabilised. The result flowered for months, which was workable in Californian sun and hopeless indoors.

How Haze shaped modern sativas

Sam the Skunkman brought seed to the Netherlands, where Dutch breeders shortened flowering and made the family commercial. Amnesia Haze, Super Silver Haze and most named sativas since trace back through that work.

Haze effects, aroma and terpenes

Terpinolene leads the profile, with myrcene and limonene behind: sharp citrus, pepper, incense and pine resin. The effect arrives fast, stays in the head and suits daytime. A pure Haze can feel too racy if your tolerance is low, which is worth knowing before you commit 13 weeks to one.

Feminized, autoflowering and regular Haze seeds

Feminized Haze seeds

All plants flower as females, so nothing is wasted on males. The best choice indoors where you control the light cycle.

Autoflowering Haze seeds

Crossed with ruderalis, these flower on age rather than daylight and finish in 10 to 11 weeks from seed, which makes them the realistic outdoor option in the UK.

Regular Haze seeds

Male and female plants, still preferred by breeders who want to make their own crosses or keep a mother line going.

Growing Haze: flowering time and yield

Amnesia Haze needs 12 to 13 weeks in flower and Super Silver Haze 9 to 10, against roughly eight for an indica. Plants stretch two to three times after the switch, so run a SCROG net unless you have real headroom. Outdoors here, photoperiod Haze finishes into damp October weather; autoflowering seeds avoid it entirely. Indoors, feminized seeds give the most per plant, and the wider cannabis seeds range covers everything beyond Haze.

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.
