Overview of Haze
Haze is like the lovable and legendary sativa with a remarkable history and contemporary reach. Its rumored that the strain arrived under the guidance of the Haze Brothers of California.
Haze possesses its own international genetics that it has proudly passed along to a myriad of hybrid strains. Famous offspring include Strawberry Cough, Silver Haze, and Lemon Haze.
High Times considers the strain the second greatest strain of all time for its status as a "seminal import" that spurned the cannabis trade in Amsterdam.
The general consensus among cannabis connoisseurs is that the Haze Brothers of Northern California first grew Haze in the 1960's. The strain's lengthy growing cycle thrived in the mild California climate.
Since the Haze Brothers disassembled in the 1970s, Haze seeds have been produced by others from the original genetics. These offshoots possess similar genes and often use the same moniker.
The THC content of Haze is unsurprisingly higher than most sativas. While most sativas test around 13%, THC content in Haze has been reported from 18% to 27%.
