Golden Haze Strain Overview
Golden Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing the infamous Super Silver Haze x Amnesia Haze strains. Golden Haze is a sativa-leaning cultivar that blends the classic incense-and-citrus personality of the Haze family with a sun-kissed, honeyed sweetness hinted at by its golden moniker. The name suggests two things to seasoned consumers: Haze heritage and a likely nod to golden-hued pistils or Colombian Gold ancestry somewhere in the background. Named for its gorgeous appearance and hazy high, Golden Haze is the perfect bud for any sativa lover who wants to kick back and relax while still feeling energized. This bud has fluffy conical bright neon green nugs with long thin light amber hairs and a frosty thick coating of sparkling tiny golden-white crystal trichomes. The strain was featured in High Times 2012 guide to the 'Earth's Strongest Strains' with a tested THC content of 20.51%. In practical terms, Golden Haze is sought for a bright, cerebral lift, long-legged effects, and a terpene bouquet that skews toward terpinolene, pinene, and citrus-forward aromatics.

Golden Haze Strain Growing Information
Golden Haze consistently presents as an energetic daytime option with 10 to 12 weeks of flower, high vigor, and a terpene profile that keeps the flavor crisp and resin production high. Golden Haze inherits the extended flowering times typical of Haze genetics, but good selection can reduce flowering to about 10 to 11 weeks without losing the bright, clear-headed effect. The flowering time ranges from 65 days to up to 14 weeks depending on the phenotype and breeder. When allowed to grow unpruned outdoors, the Golden Haze strain can shoot up to a height of two metres or more. Indoors, you'll need to trim it to keep it in bounds. Indoor yields tend to be low to medium. Outdoors, Golden Haze only performs at its best with lots of hot, sunny weather so it really needs a climate at least as warm as the Mediterranean. In the right environment Golden Haze is a much better yielder outdoors than it is inside. Outdoor cultivation favors warm, dry late seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere, plan for late October to early November harvest windows in Mediterranean climates. The strain requires patience and experience but is highly resistant to a load of the pests that other cannabis strains might be prone to.
