Irene Haze

Irene Haze is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Irene Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by breeder DNA Genetics in collaboration with Reserva Privada. The strain was created by crossing the classic Haze variety with an unknown indica strain, resulting in a balanced yet predominantly sativa expression. Named after the breeder's mother, Irene Haze represents a tribute strain that combines heritage genetics with modern cultivation techniques. The strain first gained recognition in the early 2000s and has maintained a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts for its cerebral effects and complex flavor profile.

Visually, Irene Haze plants produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, elongated structure typical of Haze varieties. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the green background. The strain's aroma is complex and multi-layered, combining earthy, citrus, and spicy notes with subtle floral undertones.

Irene Haze is particularly noted for its balanced effects that provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without heavy sedation. The strain typically flowers in 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. While not the highest-yielding strain, Irene Haze produces quality flowers that are prized for their potency and flavor. The strain has become somewhat rare in recent years as newer hybrids have gained popularity, but it remains available through specialty breeders and seed banks that preserve heritage genetics.
