Haze Special
Also known as: Special Haze
What is the Haze Special strain?
Haze Special is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Haze Special is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a refined version of classic Haze genetics. The strain traces its origins to the original Haze family developed in California during the 1960s and 1970s, which itself was created by crossing landrace strains from Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and India. Breeders have worked to stabilize and enhance the desirable characteristics of traditional Haze while reducing some of its challenging growing traits, resulting in the 'Special' designation that indicates improved cultivation characteristics and more consistent effects.
The strain typically produces tall, slender plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds are usually airy and less dense than indica varieties, characteristic of sativa-dominant strains. Haze Special is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, spicy, and citrus notes, with some phenotypes exhibiting subtle sweet or floral undertones.
Haze Special has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, energetic effects that are less likely to cause the anxiety sometimes associated with pure Haze varieties. The strain has become a staple in many cannabis markets due to its reliable effects and improved growing characteristics compared to traditional Haze strains. While not as historically significant as the original Haze, Haze Special represents an important development in making classic sativa genetics more accessible to both growers and consumers.
