Scott's Haze
Also known as: Scott's Haze OG, Scotts Haze
Scott's Haze Strain Overview
Scott's Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that traces its origins to the classic Haze family, which emerged in California during the 1960s and 1970s. The strain is named after its breeder, Scott, who is believed to have developed it by crossing a Haze phenotype with other sativa genetics to enhance its cerebral effects while maintaining the characteristic Haze aroma and flavor profile. While exact lineage details are sometimes debated among cannabis historians, most sources agree that Scott's Haze represents a refined version of traditional Haze varieties, with improved consistency and potency compared to some of its ancestral counterparts.
The strain is characterized by elongated, spear-shaped buds with a light to medium green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The buds typically have a loose, airy structure common to sativa varieties, with a sticky resinous texture when properly cured. Scott's Haze plants can grow quite tall, especially when cultivated outdoors, and they require ample space for optimal development.
Notable features of Scott's Haze include its distinctive terpene profile that produces a complex aroma combining citrus, pine, and earthy notes with subtle spicy undertones. The strain is particularly valued by sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, energetic effects that are often described as less racy than some traditional Haze varieties. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Scott's Haze maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate classic sativa genetics with modern refinement.

Scott's Haze Strain Growing Information
Scott's Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. The plants have a long flowering time of 10-12 weeks indoors and can take until late October or early November to finish outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate, typically producing 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires ample vertical space as plants can stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching 150-200 cm in height. Scott's Haze benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants are somewhat resistant to mold and pests but require good air circulation and careful monitoring of humidity levels, especially during the final weeks of flowering.
