Mandarina Haze
Also known as: Mandarin Haze, Mandarina
Mandarina Haze Strain Overview
Mandarina Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Kannabia. The strain was created by crossing a Haze phenotype with a California Orange strain, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the cerebral effects of classic Haze varieties with the distinctive citrus aroma of orange genetics. First introduced in the early 2010s, Mandarina Haze has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its balanced effects and pronounced terpene profile.
The strain is characterized by medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional orange pistils. The flowers are typically dense and resinous, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Mandarina Haze plants often exhibit a branching structure typical of sativa varieties, with long internodal spacing and slender leaves. The strain's most notable feature is its intense citrus aroma, which has been described as reminiscent of fresh mandarin oranges with subtle earthy undertones.
Mandarina Haze is considered a relatively stable hybrid that maintains consistent characteristics across different phenotypes. The strain has become particularly popular in European markets and has been used in breeding programs to introduce its distinctive terpene profile to other varieties. While not as historically significant as some classic Haze strains, Mandarina Haze represents a modern interpretation of the Haze family with enhanced aromatic qualities and reliable performance characteristics.

Mandarina Haze Strain Growing Information
Mandarina Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space. Special considerations include providing good air circulation to prevent mold and supporting branches during flowering as buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) to maximize yields.
