African Haze
African Haze
Also known as: African Haze F2, African Haze #11
Overview
African Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (75 sativa/25 indica) created through crossing the potent Malawi Gold X JJs Nigerian strains. This strain is a mostly sativa variety from Top Dawg Seeds and can be cultivated indoors (where the plants will need a flowering time of 84 days) and outdoors. African Haze is believed to originate from various regions across Africa, particularly from the southern and eastern parts of the continent, and is often associated with landrace varieties, which are indigenous cannabis strains that have adapted to their local environments over generations. The strain combines the best characteristics of its African heritage with modern breeding techniques, creating buds that are typically elongated and fluffy, displaying a vibrant green color with hints of purple and orange. The trichome coverage is abundant, giving the buds a frosty appearance that signifies potency. This strain has gained recognition for its complex terpene profile and energetic effects that reflect the rich botanical diversity of the African continent.

Growing Information
Growing African Haze cannabis is suitable for cultivators with some experience, as it tends to grow tall and may require regular maintenance. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 84 days for indoor cultivation and can also be grown outdoors. African Haze is a tall, slender plant with long, thin colas and long, skinny leaf blades, reflecting its classic Sativa lineage. This strain thrives in warm climates and requires ample vertical space and strong light support, which helps cater to its taller sativa structure. The strain is known to be somewhat sensitive to pests and diseases, so careful monitoring and preventative measures are recommended to ensure a healthy harvest. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 400 g/m², while outdoor growers can harvest 15-20 Oz/plant (approximately 550 g/plant). Training techniques such as topping or low-stress training (LST) are recommended to encourage bushier growth and improve yield. The strain requires patience and experience but rewards growers with high-quality, potent flowers.
