Shimla Haze
Shimla Haze Strain Overview
Shimla Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain developed by Trichome Jungle Seeds in 2012, created through crossing Pursang Haze with a combination of Shimla (an Indian indica landrace) and Pursang Haze. This strain represents an innovative breeding approach that combines traditional Indian genetics with modern haze lineage. The breeder specifically noted that Shimla Haze is a lovely sativa to grow that is not as tall as typical pure sativas, while producing more resin due to the influence of the Shimla Indian genetics, which also contributes a distinctive earthy berry aroma profile. The strain demonstrates the successful integration of landrace genetics with contemporary cannabis breeding techniques. Shimla Haze exhibits a unique genetic composition that reflects both its sativa heritage and indica influence. The strain produces pepper-shaped blue-green buds with long thin orange hairs and a coating of bright white crystal trichomes. Its complex lineage traces back through various legendary strains including Super Silver Haze, Jack Herer, Northern Lights, and Thai genetics, making it part of a rich cannabis genetic heritage that has influenced many modern varieties.

Shimla Haze can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 70 days (10 weeks). The strain is characterized by being easier to manage than pure sativas, growing to moderate heights rather than the extreme tall structure typical of pure sativa varieties.
