Panama Red Haze
Also known as: Panama Red Haze, Panama Red Haze Hybrid
Panama Red Haze Strain Overview
Panama Red Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic Panama Red landrace strain. The original Panama Red gained legendary status in the 1960s and 1970s as one of the most sought-after sativas from Central America, known for its distinctive red hairs and potent cerebral effects. This haze version combines the genetics of the original Panama Red with various Haze varieties, creating a strain that preserves the classic characteristics while enhancing certain desirable traits.
The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a vibrant mix of green and orange-red pistils. The flowers are often covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Panama Red Haze is celebrated for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, woody notes with hints of spice and citrus, reflecting its tropical heritage. The smoke is generally smooth with a flavor that evolves from earthy and spicy to sweet and fruity on the exhale.
Panama Red Haze is considered a relatively rare strain in modern cannabis markets, with most available seeds coming from specialized breeders who work to preserve landrace genetics. The strain's revival represents a growing interest among connoisseurs and breeders in preserving and improving classic sativa genetics that were nearly lost during decades of prohibition and hybridization trends. Its effects are characteristically sativa, providing an energetic and cerebral experience that many users find suitable for daytime use.

Panama Red Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. The plants typically reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and can exceed 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space.

The strain prefers a warm, humid climate similar to its Panamanian origins and thrives in outdoor environments with plenty of sunlight.
