Sugar Haze
Also known as: Sweet Sugar Haze, Sugar Haze Fast Version, Sugar Haze Regular
What is the Sugar Haze strain?
Sugar Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 31.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Sugar Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that represents a modern expression of the classic Haze lineage, tracing its heritage back to the Santa Cruz, California cannabis scene of the early 1970s. Created through the crossbreeding of Santa Marta (from Colombia's Sierra Nevada mountains) with the Original Haze genetics by Seedsman, this strain was developed in Dutch seed banks of the early 2000s to capture Haze's legendary cerebral effects while dramatically reducing the traditionally long flowering time. The Santa Marta component brings resilience from its high-altitude Colombian origins where cannabis thrives at elevations up to 5,700 meters, while the Haze genetics contribute the signature uplifting effects and complex terpene profile. Years of selective breeding culminated in Sugar Haze becoming one of the quickest flowering Haze varieties ever developed, with flowering times of only 9 weeks compared to the 12-16 weeks typical of traditional Haze strains.
The strain exhibits predominantly sativa characteristics with a genetic composition of approximately 30% indica and 70% sativa, producing dense, resinous buds with vibrant green coloration and orange pistils, featuring an aroma reminiscent of diesel with spicy hints and sweet undertones. The buds are notably rock-hard and soaked in resin, often displaying a crystalline sheen due to the abundant trichome coverage. Sugar Haze has gained recognition for its balanced effects that provide mental stimulation without the overwhelming intensity sometimes associated with pure sativas, making it more approachable than many traditional Haze varieties while maintaining the classic energetic and creative effects that made the Haze family legendary in cannabis culture.

How do you grow Sugar Haze?
Sugar Haze is considered relatively beginner-friendly with excellent disease and pest resistance. Indoor flowering time ranges from 7-10 weeks with yields of 300-500g/m² (1.31-1.47 oz/ft²). Outdoor plants finish by end of October producing 400-600g per plant (14-21 oz/plant) and can reach heights of 1.5m (4.92 ft). The strain prefers warm Mediterranean climates with temperatures of 70-80°F and humidity levels of 40-50% during flowering. Training techniques like SCROG and SOG are recommended to manage its sativa stretch and maximize light penetration. Regular seeds are more common than feminized versions, requiring growers to identify and remove male plants. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but requires proper height management due to its sativa genetics.
