Northern City Haze Strain Overview
Northern City Haze is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Northern Lights and Haze varieties, though its exact lineage may vary by breeder. It is believed to have been developed in the early 2000s, with breeders aiming to create a strain that offers the relaxing, resinous qualities of Northern Lights alongside the cerebral, uplifting effects of Haze. The strain has gained popularity in urban cultivation circles, particularly among home growers seeking a balanced hybrid with manageable growth characteristics.
Visually, Northern City Haze typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty coating of trichomes, reflecting its Northern Lights heritage. The flowers often exhibit shades of deep green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The aroma is a complex blend of earthy, piney notes from Northern Lights, with citrus and spicy undertones contributed by the Haze lineage. The flavor profile tends to be smooth, with a sweet, herbal taste on exhale.
Notable features include its adaptability to both indoor and outdoor environments, making it suitable for growers in various climates. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Northern City Haze is recognized for its balanced effects and relatively consistent performance. It is considered a mid-level difficulty strain to cultivate, with growers noting its resilience to common molds and pests when properly maintained.

Northern City Haze Strain Growing Information
Northern City Haze is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 120-180 cm outdoors and remaining more compact indoors. Northern City Haze prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense bud structures, and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
