Vio Haze
Also known as: Violet Haze
Vio Haze Strain Overview
Vio Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders seeking to combine the cerebral effects of classic Haze varieties with distinctive visual characteristics. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, with multiple breeders claiming development, though most agree it represents a selective breeding project involving Haze genetics crossed with purple-hued varieties. The name derives from the strain's tendency to develop violet and purple pigmentation in its flowers, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Visually, Vio Haze plants produce elongated, spear-shaped buds with moderate density, covered in a generous layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. The most distinctive feature is the coloration—deep green leaves often contrast with purple calyxes and sometimes even violet-tinted sugar leaves. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking visual contrast. The aroma profile combines classic Haze characteristics with fruity and floral notes, creating a complex sensory experience.
As a sativa-dominant hybrid, Vio Haze maintains the energetic, cerebral effects associated with Haze genetics while introducing a subtle body relaxation component. The strain has gained popularity among connoisseurs who appreciate both its aesthetic qualities and its functional effects. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Vio Haze has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who value unique visual characteristics alongside traditional sativa effects.

Vio Haze Strain Growing Information
Vio Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and low humidity during flowering. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors, requiring adequate vertical space. Special considerations include temperature manipulation during late flowering to enhance purple coloration—exposing plants to nighttime temperatures of 10-15°C (50-59°F) can intensify the violet hues. The strain benefits from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites.
