Haze Strains: Cannabis with Haze Lineage
What Are Haze Seeds?
To answer the question of what Haze seeds actually are, we should look at some characteristics common throughout the family. First off, even though many members of this genetic line are considered sativas, Haze is, by nature, a hybrid. Blending landrace sativa strains from Mexico, Colombia and Thailand generated a botanical boasting 100% sativa genetics, but the diversity of chromosomes within its offspring is vast. Furthermore, many contemporary Haze strains, even some of the most popular, have indica genetics in them. For example, Super Silver Haze, considered one of the all-time great strains by numerous and prodigious cannabis communities, is riddled with Afghani landrace genes from Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1. Super Lemon Haze, arguably one of the most exciting and enjoyable strains on earth, also has Afghani roots, as well as Lemon Skunk, a rare and tasty award-winning hybrid in its own right. No matter what, Haze strains are known for being high THC and offer an intense stone. Most Haze strains offer versatility, meaning that they perform quite differently from one another. An individual plant, harvested at different stages, is capable of providing the producer with an array of cannabinoid and potency possibilities, and the flavors of these specimens also offer numerous reasons to take these strains to extraction. Where Original Haze was rather tall, contemporary strains tend to reach no higher than about seven feet, though a charge like Super Silver Haze has been known to produce up to twenty-eight ounces per plant. All in all, Haze seeds from KSCO are the cat’s meow and always have been.
Where Do Haze Cannabis Seeds Come From?
Investigating the history of strains is a pastime many of us enjoy on the regular and figuring out where your Haze cannabis seeds come from is exciting. Taking it back to the Original blend, we find at its roots Mexican, Colombian and Thai landrace sativas. This combination birthed the first strain, which would be the impetus behind the generation of all other Haze creations. Original would then be taken over by David Watson, AKA Sam the Skunkman, and would be reworked with Schoenmakers to generate Neville’s Haze, the second oldest and one of the most highly prized of the Haze family lineage. We see a lot of Northern Lights and Skunk in Haze strains, two strains which need no introduction. Skunk is born of Afghani indica landrace and Colombian and Acapulco Gold sativas. Northern Lights #5 is an Afghani/Skunk backcross from the early 90’s. Over time, strains like Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, Lemon Skunk and Afghani and Hawaiian landraces, would generate the bedrock upon which further Hazy wonders would be constructed. Amnesia Haze, a stellar cross of Thai, Afghani and Hawaiian landraces, has bagged Cup after Cup since its release in the early 2000s. Another amazing breed, Mango Haze, is one born of Skunk and NL genetics and has been combined in several ways and with several other strains to affect CBD versions, rated high on medicinal marijuana consumer lists. So you see, there is a lot going on in this lineage and Weed Seeds is here to help you make the most out of each strain within it.
Why Buy Haze Seeds?
The inception and subsequent labor which went into creating the first, Original Haze, the dedication and commitment which went into breeding the award winners which came after and the impeccable indica infused, hazy sativas which continue to bag Cup across the world, are all ever inspiring. This family is cherished, not only because of the stable genetics which have gone into cultivating it, but because of its diversity, versatility and because each and every Haze strain is a powerhouse. Effects of Haze include intense and electrifying cerebral activity, mental blank spots and psychological uplift, energizing relaxation, hard hitting softness and instant and prolonged stoniness, common paradoxes in this lineage. These types of effects make most Haze cultivars so utterly intoxicating that some consumers don’t know which way is up for the first hour or so. Vertigo, giggle fits, unsolicited states of meditation and introspection, a lust for life, euphoria and childlike wonder, are all reasons people love to grow Haze. Speaking of which, growing these beasts may take up to twelve or thirteen weeks, but the rewards are incredible. Some Haze strains are among the highest yielding on Earth and, as long as you have an inch of experience, these strains offer miles of fun and excitement. Buy these dream beans through the secure eCommerce platform at Kind Seed Co, use cryptocurrencies, Venmo, Zelle or pay with a credit card.

Seed Storage Of Haze Cannabis Seeds
Whether you are a farmer planting and flowering fields of weed for seed, are a professional producer using seeds to hunt phenotypes or are simply a home grower or collector looking to learn long term seed care, we have your back. Properly caring for your Haze cannabis seeds means storing them in very specific ways. Just as weed, when exposed to the elements, starts to break down and so do seeds. Therefore, they require care and attention and, for the most part, that looks like leaving them alone. How to store your seeds safely is more an equation than a recipe. A Haze seed requires approximately 42-47℉, about 30% relative humidity and complete darkness. It doesn’t matter to the seed how you go about providing these conditions, so long as they’re met and remain stable. Your collection should be stored in a way as not to jostle them, squish them or crush them. Once examined and put away for storage, it is important to leave the door closed, don’t keep checking on them and it is imperative that seeds not be exposed to moisture or UV. Degradation plays a major role in how well your seeds behave come germination time and, if you have kept your charge in less than ideal conditions, you may experience problems when trying to grow them. Haze seeds are legal for collection all over America, so even if you happen to live in a place where cultivation is illegal, you can still keep a crackerjack selection of seductive Haze capsules on hand.
Germinating Haze Seeds
Given the nature of how Haze seeds grow, they require very specific germination processes. So that your Haze selections see the light of day, remove your seeds either from their Weed Seeds packaging or take them out of storage and sit them in a safe place. You will need a couple of paper towels, a plate, a small glass, some distilled or r/o water and some of either a rooting hormone or fish emulsion, to add trace elements to the solution. Put a few drops of your rooting solution in the glass and add a couple ounces of water. Add your seeds, making sure you don’t bang, bump or otherwise disrupt them, and place the glass in the cupboard or other dark place, overnight. Once your seeds have sunk, and some may need assistance, they are ready for the next phase of the germination process. Take a clean plate and lay a folded paper towel on top. Pour your seeds over the towel and allow the solution to saturate it while you spread your seeds out. Lay another folded towel over the top and make sure it soaks up what solution it can. Pour off excess solution and, ensuring that there is air around your seeds, gently place the whole thing in the dark. Ensure that the package remains moist but not soaked and, in a couple days, taproots will emerge and your seeds will have been germinated. Kind Seed Co offers comprehensive grow guides for both indica and sativa dominant beasts, and the seeds we sell are always in ideal condition for effective germination.
Growing Haze Cannabis Plants
Growing Haze cannabis plants is one of the most exciting ventures a grower of any experience level or professional position could undertake. The Haze family is vast and many of the strains present in its genetic line are the most awarded in cannabis history. Amnesia Haze, a strain which has been winning Cups since 2004, is regarded as one of the greatest buds of all time, let alone sativa categories. Other contenders and Cup crushers include Jack Herer, Blue Dream, Northern Lights #5, Super Silver Haze, Lemon Haze and many others. Growing an award winner is something, but we grow them because of why they win awards. The highs you get from Haze and Haze inspired strains is unlike any other. There is something about an Afghani/Hawaiian/Laotian creation that tickles all sides of living and there has not yet been a single Haze genetic that isn’t spectacular in its own unique ways. Aside from award winning genetics and incredible post-puff experiences, Haze strains are fun to grow. Though some require a more delicate hand than others, all of them take beautifully to training and some can even handle a frost. For the majority of the sativa dominant selection, indoors is the best place to cultivate your crops. If you have the weather for it, outdoor cultivation of a high-test Haze can become a spectacle. Original Haze, for example, can grow the size of a small shed or garage and can take as long as six months to go from start to finish.
Growing Flowers From Haze Seeds Indoors
Once you have germinated Hazy weed seeds from Weed Seeds, it needs low light and an environment of approximately 70℉ and 75% relative humidity for the first couple weeks while roots establish. It is also imperative that you do not feed your plants during this time, or they may become burned, experience confusion, get overdosed and stunted, even killed. Once new leaves emerge and the vegging period kicks in, give them 100% of your light, turn the heat up to 75 and drop the humidity to 70%. Each plant will quickly outgrow its vegging pot, so it is critical that after the initial establishment stage, you plant into a container large enough to handle ScrOG training. Once your crop has re-established in their new home, top your haze plants at the second or third node and start Screen of Green (ScrOG) training. As branches begin to emerge, weave them or tie them to the screen and continue training as evenly and as flat as possible. Top again and again, continuing to spread the branching out and feeding with balanced or vegging nutrients. Once the screen is filled, flip from eighteen hours per day to twelve, remove unnecessary foliage and start feeding bloom solution. Temperatures should remain between 70-80℉ and approximately 55% humidity until flowering, when you will drop the humidity to 40%. Depending on the strain or strains you have chosen, it will take anywhere from ten to fourteen weeks for your crop to be ready for harvest, which will be clear by the presence of plastic white trichomes.
Growing Cannabis Flower Outdoors From Haze Seed
Depending on where you live, growing cannabis flowers from Haze seed outdoors is a daunting venture. Of course, indicas like Northern Lights and more balanced hybrids like Blue Dream are a little easier, but with no control over whatever the world has to throw at you, preparation is task number one if you are to see success al fresco. Kind Seed Co recommends you prepare your plot, your soil, make sure the sun shines unimpeded, and put some plan in place for impromptu protection, just in case some unexpected weather strikes. A healthy living soil is the best medium you can build for your crop. Start with bagged living soils and add amendments which balance out the nutrient contents for the vegging stage. Adding mycorrhizal fungi will affect a more efficient cation exchange capacity, helping feed microbes and thus boosting both plant and root health. If you live in an area prone to early or late season weather, it pays to start Haze strains inside at a time appropriate to getting them outside in time to establish in their new soil, finish vegging and complete the flowering cycle. Sativa dominant Haze strains need a minimum of 68℉ to avoid confusion and growers in any environment reaching higher than 80℉ should employ added ventilation. This will maintain light levels while lowering temperatures. The average Haze strain demands about ten or eleven weeks to flower, with some taking as few as eight and some requiring as many as thirteen, so know your strains and use techniques appropriate to their natures.
Typical Aroma Of Haze Cannabis Buds
Attempting to pick out aromas typical to the entire Haze lineup is a tall order. However, piecing together the history of Haze shows us where this rich olfactory tapestry comes from and points us to a deeper understanding of the terpene combinations present in this and other cannabis ancestry. Landrace strains, such as Mexican, Colombian, Thai, Hawaiian and Afghani are always less supercharged than their hybrid offspring. Notes of wood, spice and earth are common to all of them, though each one has its own twist. Thai has either chocolate or lemon, Mexican, Acapulco, and Colombian are a little spicy with mild earth and fruit. Starting at the top of the popularity list, however, we have Amnesia, Super Silver and Super Lemon Haze strains. These buds are the bomb, as far as Haze cultivars go, and their bouquets are nothing short of extraordinary. Amnesia Haze has probably one of the most unique aromas in the industry. A rich stench of CA glue, mixed with bitter and fruity citrus and punky wood is trademark for this strain. Super Silver is a cross of Skunk and NL and the profile of this sweet treat is one of skunky berries and pine. Super Lemon Haze, arguably one of the sweetest strains to be found anywhere, tastes like fresh and fermented citrus and creamy, woodsy, lemon candy. Fire these beasts up and the smoke unfurls into sweet and hashy vapors so stenchy they permeate everything they come in contact with, and Kind Seed Co is where to find them.
Harvesting Time When Growing Haze Strains
Understanding flowering times is step number one to getting a grasp on the right time to harvest when growing Haze strains from KSCO. The trick is to chop your crop when your plants’ trichomes are at their peak. Original Haze flowers for about nine to eleven weeks before it is ready. Other strains, such as Amnesia or Super Silver require ten to eleven weeks, a bit of a tighter window, though the harvest is much richer. Super Lemon is a little quicker, boasting a nine to ten week schedule, rather short considering the strength and prowess of the cannabinoid and terpene combinations present within it. Other Haze influenced strains, such as Northern Lights #5, may take as little as six to seven weeks, but these small numbers are rare, even in landrace indicas. There are a number of variations to choose from and, depending on what your weather is doing, many can even be grown successfully outside. But going from seed to harvest requires a training period before a switch to the flowering cycle. If you opt for Sea of Green (SOG) training, you can add no more than three weeks to the flower time, simply to let your clones settle before the flip. Screen of Green (ScrOG) training is different in that it takes a couple months to fill your horizontal growth plane. For this reason, a screen grow of a ten week strain may take as long as eighteen to twenty weeks from seed.
What Yield Can You Get From Haze Plants
Kind Seed Co has dozens of Haze and Haze family strains available for swift and secure purchase and delivery right to your door and, no matter what strains you choose, the yield you can get from these creatures is always impressive. Yield sizes common to Haze strains are around twenty ounces per plant, though some offer less and some offer way more. Amnesia Haze, one of our most popular and most highly prized strains, delivers anywhere from a whopping twenty-one ounces inside and up to a staggering twenty eight ounces under the sun. Blue Dream, an Afghani based bud and one which continues to sit high on top picks lists, has been known to produce up to twenty ounces. Jack Herer, another Afghani wonder weed, offers up to eighteen ounces per plant or m2, nice balance for a timeless classic. Cannalope Haze delivers approximately sixteen ounces per m2 inside or twenty ounces per plant in ideal outdoor conditions. Blue Haze or Blueberry Haze, one of the nicest blends available to date, is an eight to ten week strain which produces anywhere from sixteen to twenty two ounces per seed. We also offer an impressive selection of landrace strains, the ones which formed the backbone of the Original Haze strain. Mexican and Colombian sativas often take about sixty days from the flip and offer approximately seventeen ounces per plant. Whatever Haze strain you choose, Kind Seed Co is here to help make the magic happen.
Are Haze Buds High in THC?
Haze buds are typically high in THC, and there are enough at Kind Seed Co to keep you growing for years. These happy strains are favored for an energetic and uplifting, creamy and euphoric buzz, and are known for being rather rookie friendly. The average THC count for a Haze chronic is around 20%, sometimes higher and sometimes lower, depending on a number of factors. Where THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is psychoactive, the range of effects you feel from different twenty percent buds is so diverse because of the terpenes which accompany your cannabinoids. Some ask why a low CBD weed can be so utterly soothing and relaxing, and it is because there is usually a large myrcene, caryophyllene or terpinolene presence. When a supercharged THC weed is not as trippy as you might have thought it would be, it most likely houses high CBD contents or contains a psychological jump starter, such as a pinene and limonene combination. High THC Haze buds, such as Super Silver or Amnesia are, however, surpassed by a couple marvels of the Haze family lineage. Ghost Train Haze, for example, was voted by High Times, in 2002, to be the most potent strain on Earth, clocking in at a brain busting 27%. This number has been outshone by some other family lineups, though it is still considered one of the strongest strains on the planet. Another high-test toke, though associated with the Haze family only through landrace ancestry, is Trainwreck. This Mexican/Thai/Afghani superbud boasts a 25% THC count that’ll flatten you every time.
Typical Effects of Smoking Haze
Consumers smoke Haze strains because they are proven to help combat depression, fatigue, they don’t burn you out too deeply and a rare few will ever couch lock you. Some of these beasts will, of course, knock you on your butt, many of them so hard hitting that you feel as though the world’s turned upside down. But since not one of them hits the bell ringing THC content, at least not for the experienced toker, each and every one of them is thoroughly enjoyable in its own special way. Landrace combos and cousins aside, and regardless of the Haze strain you choose from the WS vault, the effects are near instantaneous. You feel a smooth rush and an instant change in feelings and perception. The face of the forlorn will fuse with the ether, turning any inner or outer frown right side up and helping the consumer easily cast off the shackles of yesterday’s pain. Consumers feel elevated, boosted to euphoric highs which do not necessarily cause a shift in balance, but which certainly open the doors of acceptance and creativity, instilling confidence and a curiosity for exploration and new adventure. Even the experienced will sometimes catch a glimpse of yesteryear through an impromptu giggle fit, a rare and welcome effect for the vintage toker. Soothing, stunning and seductive, Haze strains hit well and keep going. As they begin to taper off, and it will depend largely on how long you allow your buds to mature on the stalk, some strains are known to cause sleepiness and physical lethargy.
Typical Flavors of Haze Family Strains
Flavors typical of Haze family strains include lemon, herbs and spice, pine, juniper, incense and mixed berries. One of the greats, Amnesia, tastes just like it smells, fruity and with a strong presence of CA glue. Super Lemon, one of the all-time fan favorites, tastes of creamy and pungent lemons with an herbaceous twist, sweet fermentation and charcoal. The Haze family is also packed with other fruity hybrids, such as Blueberry Haze, Strawberry and Mango Haze delectables. Each one of these tends to taste just how they sound. Blue Haze tastes of fresh and dried blueberries and currants with a hint of juniper, while Strawberry Pineapple and Mango Haze taste spicy and tropical. The roots of this lineage, namely Afghani, Hawaiian, Mexican, Colombian and Thai landrace strains, offer diverse flavors indeed. Afghani is known for being spicy, incense driven and grapey with a hint of pine and even grape. Mexican and Colombian landrace strains taste tarry, woody and often support mild tobacco palate pleasers. Lemon Thai fills the mouth with super sour fermented lemons with traces of basil and mint in its bitter lemonade presentation. Most of these strains, Ghost Train, Cannalope and Purple Haze included, offer a hashy afterburn on the exhale. This richness comes from the impressive terpene arrays which come part and parcel with Haze strains. Favored for its flavors, the Haze family is one of the great genetic lineups of the cannabis industry and a staple for consumers the world over, and you can get them all at Kind Seed Co.
Baking and Making Edibles With Haze Buds
Baking and making edibles with Haze buds is a good idea for anyone who likes to really feel the crops they grow. Smoking a joint, packing a bowl or pressing out some high-class rosin are all ways to enjoy the ganja you grow, but when you need a strong physical hit to accompany the intense and intriguing highs associated with the Haze family from Weed Seeds, edibles are the way to go. Whether you choose to make gummies, cakes or other confections, tinctures or sprays, your weed must first be decarboxylated. This means activating the THC through the application of heat, so that when you add it to your recipe, it works the way you want it to. Left untreated, the THC you want to enjoy remains in the form THCA, and is incapable of delivering a high. If you are mixing oil or another distillate into gummies or other sweet treats, chances are you may have already decarboxylated it through the evaporation process. You will know because of a shift in color from clear to dark brown or black. However, in order to make sure your THC counts are active in your baking creations, you must first cook your weed. Preheat your oven to 230-250℉, spread your buds out on a baking sheet with parchment paper and put it in the oven for twenty-five to thirty minutes. After that, your bud is decarbed and you can grind your nugs to use to infuse butter or coconut oil, or whatever you like to cook with.
Is It Worth It To Make Haze Cannabis Oil?
If you are one who prefers a vape, dab rig or capsule over a joint or bong, then it may be worth it for you to make Haze cannabis oil. Some oil making processes are simple to do at home, and the final product, even if it comes out a little dark, is sure to have you on your butt in no time. Since they take a catalyst like alcohol or CO2, and sieve your weed to make them, cannabis oils are considered distillates, though the line between distillates and oils is rather grey. There are a number of ways to make oils, ranging from simple alcohol extraction to gas presses, and for those who know what they’re doing at the cook station, oil can be magic. Some are amber, some black and some clear as crystal. The purity achieved depends nearly 100% on the type of process employed, though with alcohol extraction, many of the impurities which cause color can be filtered out. Other creations, such as those made with CO2, are best done by professionals and they often come out clear or with a slightly yellow sheen. The processes are rather demanding and can be messy, especially for those making oil at home on the stove or in a pressure cooker. The outcome, though, is generally so potent that it can be a lot more unpredictable than simply smoking a joint. But those who know oils will know that any Haze strain from Kind Seed Co is going to make a killer extract.
What To Expect When Smoking And Vaping Haze Concentrates
Most of the concentrates you find on the market and in stores are of the live resin variety. This means that when smoking or vaping Haze in this form, the flavors are going to be out of this world, the potency spot on and predictable and you will gain full benefit from the terpene array. Live resin concentrates often inhabit a cannabinoid range of 80-90%, while distillates are single cannabinoid products which often hit the 99% mark. When you vape a THC distillate, it doesn’t really matter what strain it came from. It is almost pure THC, so there are no flavonoids present to elevate the experience. This is why distillates are often much better enjoyed when made into edibles or when they are of the CBD variety and are used to make tinctures or topicals. Live resin Haze concentrates, however, are some of the tastiest cannabis creations in the industry. Take a look at the flavors and aromas behind this lineage, try a few of the WS strains for yourself and you will understand what flavortown really is. Vaping a Haze is also a way to mainline this flower’s broad range of effects. For an instant jolt, a high-test, hard-hitting boost to the brain, take a hit or two of a Ghost Train live resin, or float away on a sweet lemon cream puff with a Super Lemon rosin. These products will offer a more physical experience though, and if they have been sitting for a little while, you may experience couch lock.
