Maui Haze
Also known as: Maui Haze Sativa, Maui Wowie Haze
Maui Haze Strain Overview
Maui Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that combines the tropical genetics of Hawaiian landrace strains with classic Haze varieties. The strain traces its origins to the Hawaiian island of Maui, where local cannabis cultivators developed it by crossing traditional Hawaiian sativa genetics with various Haze phenotypes. This breeding work aimed to preserve the distinctive tropical characteristics of Hawaiian cannabis while incorporating the cerebral effects and complex terpene profiles of Haze varieties.
The strain is characterized by its tall, lanky growth structure typical of sativa plants, with long internodal spacing and slender leaves. Maui Haze buds are typically elongated and airy, with a light green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are covered in a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The strain's most notable feature is its distinctive tropical aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones.
Maui Haze gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts for its energetic, uplifting effects and complex flavor profile. While it maintains some characteristics of traditional Hawaiian strains, the Haze influence contributes to its cerebral effects and extended flowering time. The strain is particularly valued by those seeking daytime cannabis experiences with minimal sedation, though its relatively high THC content means it should be approached with caution by novice users.

Maui Haze Strain Growing Information
Maui Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth characteristics and extended flowering time. The strain typically flowers in 10-12 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach considerable heights, often growing 6-8 feet tall outdoors and requiring significant vertical space indoors.
Yield is moderate to high when given proper growing conditions, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant. The strain prefers warm, sunny climates similar to its Hawaiian origins and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Outdoor cultivation is recommended in Mediterranean or tropical climates where the long flowering period can be accommodated.
Special considerations include the need for regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG (Screen of Green) to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
