Volcano Haze
Also known as: Volcano Haze #1, Volcano Haze S1
Volcano Haze Strain Overview
Volcano Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its energetic and uplifting effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but it is generally believed to have emerged from the Netherlands or the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2000s. Breeders sought to create a haze variety with enhanced potency and a more manageable flowering time than traditional hazes, which are notorious for their lengthy maturation periods. The name 'Volcano' likely references both the explosive, uplifting effects and possibly the volcanic soil conditions in some of its purported growing regions.
Visually, Volcano Haze typically produces elongated, spear-shaped buds with a light to medium green coloration. The flowers are often heavily frosted with trichomes, giving them a crystalline appearance, and may display occasional orange or rust-colored pistils. The buds tend to be airy and less dense than many modern hybrids, characteristic of its haze heritage. The aroma profile is complex, combining earthy, spicy notes with distinct citrus undertones, while the flavor often includes hints of lemon, pepper, and pine on the exhale.
Notable features of Volcano Haze include its relatively long flowering time for a commercial strain (typically 10-12 weeks) and its tall, stretchy growth pattern that requires careful height management. The strain has maintained a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts who appreciate its clear-headed, creative effects that are less likely to cause sedation or heavy body sensations compared to many modern hybrids. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Volcano Haze continues to be cultivated by specialty growers and can occasionally be found in medical and recreational markets in regions with diverse cannabis offerings.

Volcano Haze Strain Growing Information
Volcano Haze is considered a moderate to difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth characteristics and longer flowering time. Flowering typically takes 10-12 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. The plants exhibit significant vertical stretch during the flowering phase, often tripling in height, making them better suited for experienced growers who can manage height through training techniques like topping, LST (low-stress training), or SCROG (screen of green).
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter with optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues, particularly in the dense flower structures. Indoor cultivation requires ample vertical space (minimum 2 meters/6.5 feet ceiling height recommended) and good air circulation. Nutrient requirements are moderate, but the plants benefit from additional magnesium and calcium during flowering. Resistance to pests and diseases is average, with particular attention needed for spider mite prevention in indoor grows.
