IBZ Haze
Also known as: Ibiza Haze
IBZ Haze Strain Overview
IBZ Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain named after the Spanish island of Ibiza, known for its vibrant party culture and Mediterranean climate. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is generally believed to have been developed by Spanish breeders who sought to create a haze variety that could thrive in the warm, coastal conditions of the Balearic Islands. While not as historically documented as classic haze strains like Super Silver Haze or Amnesia Haze, IBZ Haze has gained recognition among European cannabis enthusiasts for its energetic effects and distinctive terpene profile.
The strain typically produces medium to tall 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 many sativa strains. IBZ Haze is noted for its relatively long flowering period compared to modern hybrids, which contributes to its complex flavor development and potent effects.
Notable features of IBZ Haze include its pronounced cerebral effects and its aromatic profile that combines classic haze characteristics with Mediterranean influences. The strain has maintained popularity in Spanish cannabis circles and among tourists visiting Ibiza, though it remains less widely available internationally than some other haze varieties. Its genetic stability and adaptation to warm climates make it of particular interest to growers in Mediterranean regions.

IBZ Haze Strain Growing Information
IBZ Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and longer flowering time. The plants typically flower in 10-12 weeks indoors and can be ready for harvest by late October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires adequate vertical space as plants can stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm. IBZ Haze responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to control height and improve light penetration. The plants have good resistance to mold and pests compared to some other haze varieties, but proper airflow is essential to prevent bud rot, especially in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
