What is the Critical Haze strain?
Critical Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Critical Haze is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Mr. Nice Seeds, created by master breeders Shantibaba and Nevil. This acclaimed strain represents a cross between Critical Mass and Afghan Haze, combining the massive yields and dense bud structure of Critical Mass with the cerebral stimulation and citrus aromas of Haze genetics. The strain exhibits the genetic breakdown of approximately 25% Skunk, 25% Haze, and 50% Afghan according to Mr. Nice Seeds. Critical Haze features medium green flowers with dull orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes. The buds are notably dense and resinous, inheriting the compact structure from its Critical Mass parent. This hybrid inherits the sweet citrus smell from its Haze lineage, creating an aromatic profile that combines fresh lemon and pine notes with earthy, spicy undertones characteristic of its indica genetics. The strain was developed as an improvement on Afghan Haze, incorporating the heavy-yielding traits that made Critical Mass the 2008 Plant of the Year in Spain.
