Oaxaca A5 Haze
Also known as: Oaxacan A5 Haze, Oaxaca Haze
Oaxaca A5 Haze Strain Overview
Oaxaca A5 Haze is a rare sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a modern preservation of classic Mexican landrace genetics. The strain originates from the Oaxaca region of southern Mexico, known for producing some of the world's most prized traditional cannabis varieties. Breeders crossed the original Oaxacan landrace with A5 Haze, a renowned Dutch Haze variety developed by the legendary breeder Neville Schoenmaker, creating a hybrid that preserves the authentic Mexican characteristics while enhancing potency and consistency.
The strain exhibits classic sativa characteristics with tall, lanky plants that can reach impressive heights both indoors and outdoors. The buds are typically elongated and airy with a light green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The aroma profile is complex, blending earthy, spicy notes from its Mexican heritage with the citrus and pine undertones characteristic of Haze varieties.
Oaxaca A5 Haze is particularly valued by connoisseurs and preservationists for maintaining the authentic effects and flavor profile of traditional Mexican cannabis while offering improved cultivation characteristics compared to the original landrace. The strain represents an important link to cannabis history, preserving genetics that might otherwise have been lost to hybridization and prohibition-era eradication efforts in their native regions.

Oaxaca A5 Haze Strain Growing Information
Oaxaca A5 Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and longer flowering time. The plants typically flower in 10-12 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late October to early November outdoors. Indoor growers should expect tall plants that may require training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height. Outdoor plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters in optimal conditions.
Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers typically harvesting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-800 grams per plant. The strain prefers warm, dry climates similar to its native Oaxaca region and is sensitive to humidity and mold. Growers should provide ample vertical space and good air circulation. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from a longer vegetative period to maximize yield potential.
