Haze was developed in California in the 1960s and 70s by crossing some of the best tropical sativas which had been imported during that period.
This mythic sativa, which has been the base for the breeding of the best hybrids for the past decades, was close to disappear in the 80s from the breeding scene, due the introduction of the skunk and indica strains.
Oldtimer's Haze population has been preserved intact until today by Oldtimer, a british breeder, and then reproduced by our breeders using a wide variety of parental plants.
This pure Haze still preserves the genetic diversity that many present Haze lines have already lost, and it is possible to find phenotypes ranging from the mythic and nearly extinct Purple Haze to the most common Green Haze phenotype, and of course intermediate combinations as well.
Oldtimer’s Haze has an incalculable value for every preservationist, collector and breeder that is looking for a pure Haze population that still preserves the quality and original genetic diversity of this mythic sativa hybrid.
Strain FAQ
What are the genetics of Original Haze?
Mexican, Colombian, Thai, and South Indian landrace strains make up Original Haze which is a pure sativa blend. Due to its genetic diversity, this strain has a rich history that spans borders and produces unique effects and flavours.
Are these strains particularly sensitive to light?
Absolutely. Cannabis flowering depends on photoperiod, or day-to-night hours. Late December-finishing strains have perfectly set their flowering triggers to the reduced daylight hours post-summer solstice, matching their environmental niche's light cycles.
What makes the flavors and aromas of Sativa strains stand out?
Diving into a Sativa is said to be like stepping into a world bursting with diverse scents and tastes, from zesty citrus to deep earthy undertones. This aromatic bouquet is thanks to a rich mix of terpenes like limonene and pinene, adding a flavorful twist to their uplifting effects.
How do woodsy flavours affect cannabis taste?
Woodsy taste enhances taste and smell and may interact with cannabinoids to create unique effects. The entourage effect suggests a more nuanced experience when terpenes and cannabinoids interact.
How does the long flowering time effect cannabinoid levels in these strains?
Long-flowering cultivars produce more THC and CBD due to their longer development. This means that by harvest time, certain strains may have stronger effects.
