Outback Haze
Also known as: Outback Haze Auto, Australian Haze
Outback Haze Strain Overview
Outback Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that draws its name from the Australian outback, though its exact genetic origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing classic Haze genetics with other sativa varieties, possibly including Australian landrace strains or other tropical sativas. Breeders aimed to create a strain that combines the cerebral, uplifting effects of traditional Haze with unique terpene profiles and robust growth characteristics.
The strain typically produces elongated, spear-shaped buds with a fluffy, airy structure characteristic of sativa varieties. The flowers are usually light to medium green in color with occasional orange or rust-colored pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance. The leaves tend to be thin and narrow, consistent with its sativa heritage. Outback Haze is noted for its relatively long flowering period compared to modern hybrids, which contributes to its complex terpene development.
Outback Haze has gained recognition among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, energetic effects that many users describe as creative and uplifting without being overly racy or anxiety-inducing. The strain's aroma profile often features a blend of earthy, spicy notes with subtle citrus undertones. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, Outback Haze has maintained a following among growers and consumers who appreciate classic sativa effects and flavors.

Outback Haze Strain Growing Information
Outback Haze is considered a moderate to challenging strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. The plants typically have a long flowering time of 10-14 weeks when grown from photoperiod seeds, with autoflowering versions completing their cycle in 10-12 weeks from seed. Plants can grow quite tall, often reaching 150-200 cm indoors and potentially over 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space or training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training).
The strain prefers a warm, dry climate similar to its namesake Australian outback when grown outdoors, with harvest typically occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers should provide strong lighting and good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds. Yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter indoors or 500-700 grams per plant outdoors. The plants are generally resistant to common pests and molds but may require support for their heavy colas during late flowering.
