Old Timer Haze
Also known as: Oldtimer's Haze, Original Haze, Old Time Haze
Old Timer Haze Strain Overview
Old Timer Haze is a legendary pure sativa landrace strain that traces its origins to the 1960s and 1970s haze varieties developed in California. This heirloom strain represents one of the original haze phenotypes that served as foundation genetics for countless modern hybrids. The strain was preserved and stabilized by breeders seeking to maintain the authentic characteristics of early haze genetics before extensive hybridization altered its profile. Old Timer Haze is celebrated among cannabis connoisseurs and preservationists for its genetic purity and historical significance.
The strain exhibits classic sativa characteristics with tall, lanky plants that can reach impressive heights, particularly when grown outdoors. The buds are typically airy and elongated with a light green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowering period is exceptionally long for a cannabis strain, often requiring 14-16 weeks to fully mature, which reflects its tropical landrace heritage. This extended flowering time contributes to the development of complex terpene profiles but makes it challenging for commercial cultivation.
Notable features include its cerebral, uplifting effects that are characteristic of traditional sativas without the modern hybrid influences. The strain maintains the original haze aroma profile that has become increasingly rare in contemporary cannabis markets. Due to its long flowering period and specific growing requirements, Old Timer Haze is considered a preservation strain primarily grown by enthusiasts and breeders rather than commercial producers. It serves as important genetic material for breeding programs seeking to incorporate authentic sativa characteristics into new varieties.

Old Timer Haze Strain Growing Information
Old Timer Haze is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, suitable for experienced growers only. The flowering time is exceptionally long at 14-16 weeks (98-112 days), one of the longest in cannabis cultivation. Plants can reach heights of 200-300 cm (6.5-10 feet) outdoors and 150-200 cm (5-6.5 feet) indoors. Yield is moderate to high when given sufficient space and time to develop. Preferred growing conditions include warm, Mediterranean or tropical climates outdoors, or spacious indoor setups with high ceilings. The strain requires careful nutrient management due to its extended flowering period and benefits from training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height. Humidity control is crucial during late flowering to prevent mold. This is a photoperiod strain that responds well to organic growing methods.
