Burning Spear
Burning Spear
Overview
Burning Spear is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by SnowHigh Seeds, a breeder known for working with landrace genetics and unique cultivars. This strain represents a complex three-way genetic cross, created by combining Ortega Indica and Haze to form the initial parent, which was then crossed with Black Congolese. The Ortega parent brings indica characteristics with its sedative and pain-relieving properties, while the Haze genetics contribute the classic cerebral, energizing sativa effects. The Black Congolese addition introduces African landrace genetics that add unique density and coloration to the flowers.
The strain is characterized by its enhanced resin production compared to typical Haze varieties, producing denser floral clusters while maintaining the sativa growth structure. Plants grow to medium-tall height and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with reduced flowering times compared to pure Haze strains. The flowers display various shades of color due to the Black Congolese influence, creating visually striking buds that are more compact than standard Haze flowers. Burning Spear represents SnowHigh Seeds' approach to combining old-school genetics with modern breeding techniques to create unique expressions of cannabis.

Growing Information
Burning Spear is classified as a mostly sativa strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants exhibit medium to tall height characteristics typical of sativa-dominant varieties. The strain offers reduced flowering times compared to pure Haze genetics, making it more manageable for growers. It produces denser floral clusters with higher resin production than typical Haze strains. The Black Congolese genetics contribute to various color expressions throughout the line, creating visually diverse phenotypes. Regular seeds are available, but feminized versions have not been produced. The strain requires monitoring of pH levels, water, spacing, and ventilation when grown indoors.
