Cannalope Haze
Also known as: Cantaloupe Haze, Cannalope Haze Premium
Overview
Cannalope Haze is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by DNA Genetics, developed through crossing the Original Haze (from the Haze Brothers) with a Mexican landrace sativa, specifically from the Michoacán region. This strain represents a genetic composition of approximately 95% sativa and 5% indica, combining the cerebral effects of classic Haze genetics with the hardy growth characteristics and distinctive sweet melon flavor profile of Mexican landrace genetics. The strain first gained recognition in the early 2000s and has been celebrated with multiple awards including first place at the 2010 CABA Cup in Buenos Aires and second place at the IC 420 Sativa Breeders Cup in 2005. Visually, the strain showcases its sativa heritage with elongated buds featuring vibrant orange pistils and small purple patches, covered in a substantial coating of resin that makes it excellent for concentrate production. The buds are typically dense yet retain the characteristic structure of sativa-dominant varieties, with a main cola formation and numerous smaller branches that distinguish it from typical sativa growth patterns.

Growing Information
Cannalope Haze is considered moderately challenging to grow, requiring intermediate cultivation skills rather than being suitable for novice growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in October when grown outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach 30-60 inches in height and can produce yields of 0.5-1 oz per square foot, while outdoor plants can grow taller at 60-80 inches. The strain shows good disease resistance and vigorous growth characteristics, thriving in Mediterranean climates when grown outdoors but adapting well to indoor cultivation environments. The Sea of Green (SOG) method is recommended for indoor cultivation to optimize yields due to the plant's unique structure that focuses on a main cola with smaller side branches. Success requires careful attention to environmental conditions as the strain is sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations, though it maintains good resistance to common pests and diseases with proper monitoring.
