Hesperidium Haze
Also known as: Citrus Haze, Orange Haze
Hesperidium Haze Strain Overview
Hesperidium Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain known for its pronounced citrus aroma and energetic effects. The strain's name derives from the botanical term 'hesperidium,' which refers to a type of berry with a leathery rind and segmented pulp, such as oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits. This nomenclature accurately reflects the strain's dominant terpene profile and flavor characteristics. While its exact breeding history is somewhat obscure in public records, Hesperidium Haze is generally understood to be a phenotype or specialized cross of classic Haze genetics, selectively bred to emphasize its citrus qualities. It gained popularity in the late 2000s among connoisseurs seeking a clear-headed, daytime sativa.
The plant typically produces medium-tall, elongated colas with a structure characteristic of Haze lineages. The buds are often light to medium green in color, frequently accented with vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The most distinctive feature is its aroma: upon breaking open a bud, it releases a powerful, sweet scent reminiscent of fresh oranges, lemons, and tangerines, often with underlying notes of spice and earth. The flavor profile is similarly dominated by citrus, translating the aroma into a smooth, often tangy smoke or vapor.
Hesperidium Haze is prized for its cerebral and uplifting effects, which are typically described as creative and euphoric without being overwhelming. It is considered a functional sativa, making it a popular choice for daytime use. The strain's relatively high THC content and low CBD level mean its effects are predominantly psychoactive. Due to its Haze heritage, it may have a longer flowering time than many modern hybrids. While not the most common strain in dispensaries, it maintains a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts and those who appreciate its unique aromatic profile.

Hesperidium Haze Strain Growing Information
Hesperidium Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and longer flowering time. It prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate if grown outdoors and thrives in controlled indoor environments. The plants can stretch significantly during the flowering stage, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and even taller outdoors. Flowering time is typically 10-12 weeks. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care; indoor growers can expect approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants may produce 500-600 grams or more per plant. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to manage height and improve light penetration. Growers should monitor humidity closely during late flowering to prevent mold, as the dense, resinous buds can be susceptible.
