C5 Haze, a notable cross of Northern Lights #5 x Haze C, emerged in the late 1980s in the Netherlands, courtesy of renowned breeder Neville Schoenmakers. Celebrated for its substantial yields, potent effects, and high THC levels, it grabbed multiple cannabis cup wins early on. ACE Seeds introduced C5 Haze x Kali China, blending the classic's vigorous sativa structure and psychoactivity with the intricate aromas of Kali China, leading to a sativa/indica hybrid with improved qualities and diverse phenotypes for growers seeking variety.
The direct offspring of Afghani Northern Lights #5 and Haze C male, C5 Haze has significantly influenced cannabis strain development over the past decades, especially in crafting Dutch Haze hybrids of the '90s. A cherished clone from the late '80s was shared with ACE Seeds by Yo Sammy, leading to the creation of C5 Haze x Kali China. This new hybrid not only preserves the hallmark features of C5 Haze but also introduces Kali China’s complex terpenes into the mix, offering a unique and high-quality genetic line for enthusiasts and breeders alike. The hybrid boasts variability in its offspring, allowing for a fascinating exploration of terpene profiles and effects.
This hybrid maintains a robust sativa-dominant structure with high yields and compelling psychoactivity. Its flowering time is moderated thanks to the influence of Kali China, and it showcases greater resilience and adaptability in various growing conditions. During the latter stages of flowering, the plant develops dense colas with a favorable flower-to-leaf ratio and may exhibit purple hues from its Kali China lineage. It stands out from other sativa x Kali China hybrids in both production and aesthetic appeal, indicating a step forward in breeding achievements.

- Genetics: C5 Haze F1 (Northern Lights #5 x Haze C) from the late ‘80s x Kali China elite 4th generation.
- Structure: Chunky sativa-dominant hybrid structure with excellent branching, vigorous and adaptable.
- Bouquet: Variable aromas and flavours depending on the individual plant, although always refined, complex and intense. The most commonly found profiles have the spicy and citrus terpenes (lime, lemon, grapefruit) of Thai sativa with a creamy, incense background of tropical fruit and hashish coming from Kali China. Different terpene profiles can also be found: sweeter (candy, melon), floral, and musky.
- High: Powerful, complex and long lasting (4 hours) sativa/indica effect. Strong initial euphoria and psychedelic expansion that encourages conversation and appreciation of the outdoors, later becoming more introspective and dreamy, with a relaxing ending that makes disconnection easy.
- Terpene profile: It mainly contains the following monoterpenes: very high content of beta myrcene, and lower amounts of alpha pinene, beta pinene and limonene. Sesquiterpenes: beta caryophyllene.
