What is the Old White Haze strain?
Old White Haze is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Old White Haze is a classic sativa-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to the haze family of cultivars developed in California during the 1970s. This strain represents a preservation of original haze genetics that have been selectively bred over decades to maintain their distinctive characteristics. The name 'Old White Haze' references both its heritage and the generous coating of white trichomes that covers the mature flowers, giving them a frosty appearance.
The strain produces tall, slender plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are known for their resinous quality and distinctive aroma profile that combines earthy, spicy, and citrus notes. Old White Haze is recognized among cannabis connoisseurs for maintaining the traditional sativa effects and flavor profile that characterized early haze varieties before modern breeding trends toward faster flowering times and higher yields.
As a landrace-preservation strain, Old White Haze offers a window into cannabis history, representing genetics that have been carefully maintained rather than extensively hybridized. The strain is particularly valued by preservationists and experienced growers who appreciate its classic characteristics, though it is considered relatively rare in commercial markets compared to more modern haze hybrids. Its cultivation requires patience and specific environmental conditions to reach its full potential.

The plants require a long flowering period of 12-14 weeks and can reach heights of 2-3 meters outdoors or 1.5-2 meters indoors.
