Blood Haze
Also known as: Blood Haze OG, Blood Haze Kush
Blood Haze Strain Overview
Blood Haze is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeding communities. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most sources trace it to California's medical cannabis scene. Its name derives from the distinctive reddish-purple hues that develop in the buds during flowering, particularly when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures, combined with the hazy cerebral effects characteristic of its sativa lineage.
The strain produces medium to large-sized plants with dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in trichomes. The flowers often display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to violet and burgundy, with vibrant orange pistils creating visual contrast. Blood Haze is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, spicy notes with subtle fruity undertones. The buds typically have a sticky, resinous texture that indicates high cannabinoid production.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Blood Haze has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain's rarity means that consistent phenotypes can be difficult to find, and there is some variation between different breeders' versions. Its genetic heritage contributes to a versatile experience that combines physical relaxation with mental stimulation.

Blood Haze Strain Growing Information
Blood Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Blood Haze is somewhat sensitive to humidity and requires good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during the final flowering stages when buds become dense. To enhance the characteristic purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen during flowering.
