SFV Haze
Also known as: San Fernando Valley Haze
SFV Haze Strain Overview
SFV Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in California's San Fernando Valley, from which it derives its name. The strain was developed by crossing the classic Haze genetics with an unknown indica strain, creating a hybrid that maintains the cerebral effects of traditional Haze while adding some physical relaxation. Its development is attributed to California breeders in the early 2000s who sought to create a Haze variant with slightly faster flowering times and improved yield while preserving the distinctive Haze characteristics.
The strain produces medium to large-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light green in color with vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often covered in a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. SFV Haze is known for its complex aroma profile that combines earthy, citrus, and spicy notes with subtle undertones of pine and pepper. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with a smooth smoke that delivers a citrus-forward taste complemented by earthy and spicy notes on the exhale.
SFV Haze has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its balanced effects that provide mental stimulation without overwhelming anxiety. The strain has become particularly associated with the West Coast cannabis culture and is often found in dispensaries throughout California and other legal states. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate classic Haze genetics with modern cultivation improvements.

SFV Haze Strain Growing Information
SFV Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late October to early November. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and does well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Plants tend to grow tall, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and potentially exceeding 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space. SFV Haze benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and mold but require good air circulation, particularly during flowering when the dense buds can be susceptible to bud rot in humid conditions.
