Strawberry Haze
Strawberry Haze
Also known as: Arjan's Strawberry Haze
Overview
Strawberry Haze, also known as Arjan's Strawberry Haze, is a renowned sativa-dominant hybrid (70% sativa, 30% indica) created by master breeder Arjan Roskam and introduced to the market in 2006. The strain gained immediate recognition by winning first place at the Green House Very Important Smokers Panel in 2005. This award-winning cultivar is a cross between NL5 Haze Mist and Swiss sativa known locally as 'Erdbeer' (German for strawberry), combining the uplifting cerebral effects of Haze genetics with the distinctive sweet aromatic profile of Swiss sativa.
The strain is characterized by its tall, stretchy growth pattern with long branches that can reach up to 9 feet outdoors. The buds are dense and chunky, featuring green coloration with red hair accents and abundant trichome coverage that gives them an off-color tint. Strawberry Haze is particularly renowned for its genuine strawberry scent and flavor profile, which is so pronounced that users often describe it as tasting like strawberry candy or milkshake. This distinctive aromatic quality, combined with its potent effects and manageable growing characteristics, has made it a sought-after strain among both recreational users and medical patients, though it remains relatively rare in many markets.

Growing Information
Strawberry Haze is considered easy to grow and maintain, showing good adaptability to humidity variations. The plant exhibits typical sativa characteristics with tall, stretchy growth and long branches requiring adequate space or training techniques like SCROG. Indoor flowering time is 10-12 weeks, while outdoor plants in warmer climates can reach harvest by mid-to-late October. Indoor yields can reach up to 600 grams per square meter, with outdoor plants producing up to 800 grams (28 ounces) per plant. The strain thrives best when roots are given free rein in soil, which enhances the strawberry flavor profile. Despite its tall growth pattern, it's suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
