K.O. Haze
Also known as: KO Haze, Knockout Haze
K.O. Haze Strain Overview
K.O. Haze is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the cerebral effects of classic Haze genetics with the physical relaxation of indica-dominant varieties. The strain was developed to create a balanced experience that offers both mental stimulation and bodily calm, making it popular among users seeking a versatile daytime or evening option. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding literature, it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create Haze varieties with more manageable growth characteristics and broader appeal.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure that reflects its hybrid nature. The flowers often display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance. The plant structure tends to be somewhat bushy with good lateral branching, combining traits from both its parent lineages.
K.O. Haze has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile. It represents a deliberate breeding effort to preserve the cerebral qualities of Haze while incorporating more physical relaxation and easier cultivation traits. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its reputation for delivering potent effects that can be quite powerful, particularly for inexperienced users.

K.O. Haze Strain Growing Information
K.O. Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 450-550 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The plants prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods indoors. They tend to reach a medium height of 1.2-1.8 meters indoors but can grow taller outdoors with proper space. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
