Blood Orange Haze
Also known as: Blood Orange, Orange Haze
Blood Orange Haze Strain Overview
Blood Orange Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by combining genetics from Blood Orange and Amnesia Haze. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a citrus-forward sativa with enhanced aromatic qualities and uplifting effects. Its development represents a deliberate effort to combine the distinctive orange terpene profile of Blood Orange with the classic cerebral stimulation of Amnesia Haze, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity among consumers seeking daytime relief with minimal sedation.
The strain is characterized by its vibrant visual presentation, featuring dense, conical buds with a structure typical of haze varieties. The flowers display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, accented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and bright orange pistils. The name 'Blood Orange' refers not only to its genetic lineage but also to the reddish-orange coloration that can develop in the flowers under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the late flowering phase.
Notable features of Blood Orange Haze include its exceptionally strong citrus aroma, which has been described as reminiscent of freshly peeled blood oranges with subtle earthy undertones. The strain's effects are predominantly cerebral, making it popular for daytime use. While primarily a sativa, it contains enough indica genetics to provide mild physical relaxation without significant sedation. The combination of its distinctive flavor profile, manageable growing characteristics, and balanced effects has contributed to its steady popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets.

Blood Orange Haze Strain Growing Information
Blood Orange Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Plants tend to grow tall (often reaching 150-200 cm indoors and 200-250 cm outdoors) and require regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and maximize light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
