Haight Street Haze
Haight Street Haze Strain Overview
Haight Street Haze is a mostly sativa cultivar developed by James Loud Genetics, a breeder known for selecting vigorous, terpene-forward plants. The name pays homage to San Francisco's iconic Haight Street, which was central to the 1960s counterculture movement and has long been associated with psychedelic culture and the West Coast's early cannabis scene. While the precise parentage has not been publicly disclosed by the breeder, the cultivar's morphology and aroma strongly suggest a Haze-dominant genetic backbone with classic sativa characteristics.
This strain bridges the gap between old-school mystique and modern cultivation expectations, representing a contemporary take on vintage sativa character. Haight Street Haze displays hallmark sativa architecture with elongated branches, narrow leaflets, and a tall, upright frame. The buds are spear-shaped with a higher calyx-to-leaf ratio than indica-leaning hybrids, featuring lime to emerald green calyxes threaded with vibrant orange to tangerine pistils. Generous trichome coverage creates a frosty sheen that belies the buds' often airier sativa density. The strain performs like a modernized old-school sativa, with a flowering time typically reduced from the traditional 14-16 weeks down to approximately 10-12 weeks while maintaining the energetic, creative effects and classic Haze flavor profile that blends citrus, spice, and incense.

Haight Street Haze Strain Growing Information
Haight Street Haze is considered intermediate to advanced in growing difficulty, typical of sativa-dominant strains. The flowering time ranges from 10-12 weeks, which is shorter than traditional Haze varieties but still longer than most indica-leaning hybrids. Plants exhibit a 1.5-3.0x stretch after the photoperiod flip and benefit from training techniques like topping at the 5th-6th node and low-stress training (LST). SCROG setups are particularly effective for managing the canopy. Indoor yields can range from 450-650 g/m² under optimal conditions with experienced growers achieving up to 700 g/m². Outdoor plants in full sun can produce 500-1000+ grams per plant. The strain prefers Mediterranean climates with dry, warm finishes and may be harvested from mid to late October outdoors. It's vulnerable to powdery mildew and botrytis if humidity and airflow are not properly managed during the extended flowering period.
