Oldtimer's Haze Strain Overview
Oldtimer's Haze is a legendary pure sativa cannabis strain that represents one of the original Haze varieties developed in California during the 1960s and 1970s. This heirloom strain was created by the Haze Brothers (R. Haze and J. Haze) through careful selection and breeding of landrace sativas from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, and India. The strain became famous for its soaring cerebral effects and complex flavor profile, establishing the foundation for countless modern Haze hybrids. Oldtimer's Haze is considered a living piece of cannabis history, preserved by dedicated breeders who maintained the original genetics when many commercial growers abandoned it due to its long flowering time.
The strain is characterized by tall, lanky plants with long internodes and narrow, serrated leaves typical of pure sativas. The buds are airy and elongated with a loose structure, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from light green to lime green with occasional purple hues in cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. Oldtimer's Haze is renowned for its complex aroma profile that evolves throughout the flowering period and curing process.
Notable features include an exceptionally long flowering period that can exceed 16 weeks, making it one of the longest-flowering cannabis varieties in existence. The strain has maintained its genetic purity over decades, offering a genuine representation of the original Haze experience that has become increasingly rare in modern cannabis markets. Its preservation represents an important effort in cannabis genetic conservation, providing breeders with authentic sativa genetics for future hybridization projects.

Oldtimer's Haze Strain Growing Information
Oldtimer's Haze is considered a challenging strain for cultivation, recommended for experienced growers only. The flowering time is exceptionally long at 16-20+ weeks, making it one of the longest-flowering cannabis varieties. Plants can reach heights of 3-4 meters (10-13 feet) outdoors and 2-3 meters (6.5-10 feet) indoors, requiring significant vertical space. Yield is moderate but can be substantial given proper growing conditions and the extended flowering period. Preferred growing conditions are warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity to prevent mold. The strain performs best outdoors or in large indoor spaces with excellent ventilation. Special considerations include regular pruning and training to manage height, careful monitoring for mold during late flowering, and extreme patience due to the extended maturation period. The plants prefer organic soil with good drainage and benefit from longer vegetative periods to maximize yield.
