Mexican Haze
Also known as: Mexican Haze Sativa, Mexican Haze (Sativa)
Mexican Haze Strain Overview
Mexican Haze is a classic sativa-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to landrace genetics from Mexico, specifically the Oaxaca region. The strain was developed by crossing traditional Mexican sativa genetics with various Haze varieties, resulting in a potent, cerebral sativa that preserves the distinctive characteristics of its Mexican heritage. Breeders sought to combine the energetic, uplifting effects of Mexican landrace strains with the complex flavor profile and potency of Haze genetics, creating a strain that has become popular among sativa enthusiasts seeking authentic Mexican cannabis characteristics.
Mexican Haze plants typically display the classic sativa structure with tall, slender plants that can reach heights of 2-3 meters when grown outdoors. The buds are elongated and airy with a light green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The strain's flowering time is relatively long for a sativa, typically ranging from 10-12 weeks, which is characteristic of its Haze lineage. The aroma is distinctly Mexican with earthy, woody notes complemented by the spicy, citrus undertones inherited from its Haze parentage.
This strain is particularly noted for its clear-headed, energetic effects that are characteristic of traditional Mexican sativas. Users appreciate Mexican Haze for its ability to provide mental stimulation without excessive sedation, making it suitable for daytime use. The strain has maintained popularity among connoisseurs who value heritage genetics and traditional sativa effects, though it is less common in modern commercial markets dominated by faster-flowering hybrids. Mexican Haze represents an important piece of cannabis history, preserving genetic traits from Mexican landrace strains that have contributed to countless modern hybrids.

Mexican Haze Strain Growing Information
Mexican Haze is considered a moderate to difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its long flowering time and tall growth pattern. The strain requires 10-12 weeks of flowering time and prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its native Mexican environment. Plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters outdoors and 1.5-2 meters indoors, requiring ample vertical space. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but thrives in outdoor environments with plenty of sunlight. Expected yields are moderate, with outdoor plants producing 400-600 grams per plant and indoor plants yielding approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Growers should be prepared for the plant's height and may need to employ training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to manage growth. The strain has good resistance to mold and pests but requires proper air circulation due to its dense foliage.
