Best Haze Strains in 2023 – Reviewing Marijuana Strains That Can Get You Really High!

While we know that Indica and Sativa are the two dominant marijuana strains out there, and pretty much every plant carries these two (and in some cases, ruderalis) as a part of their genetic makeup. However, while the strains remain common, there are some ‘families’ within these plants too, which describe the kind of high and the kind of lineage that the plants carry. Some of these families are Haze, Runtz, Kush, etc. In this article, we talk in detail about some of the best Haze strains of marijuana plants.

Haze plants have been around for a while. The first of the Haze strains traces its origin to the 1960s when it was cultivated in California. This is the OG Haze strain that grew in Santa Cruz. Over the decades, as breeding became more and more popular, Haze strains were crossed with multiple other plants to produce new plants. Today there are over 50 haze plants out there, and in this article, we aim at creating a list of the best of these strains.

As we pointed out earlier, each of the ‘family’ of strains carries a set of similar properties. Whenever you see a plant that carries the word ‘haze’ in its name, you can expect it to meet certain characteristic features. These are:

• All plants of the haze family are Sativa-dominant. You will usually find plants that are 70% or 80% Sativa-dominant, while there are some plants that even hit the 90% mark, which is as pure a Sativa as possible. It is extremely unlikely to come across a haze strain that carries 60% Sativa, and practically impossible to find one with 50% or lesser Sativa content. 

• Another common feature across all plants of the haze family of marijuana strains is that they take quite a while to grow. The minimum period that these plants take to mature is about 9 to 10 weeks, and there are some plants that can continue to grow even till 16 to 18 weeks. When you are growing a haze plant, you’ve got to be patient and let it take its own time. You will be rewarded well in the end.

• The flavor profile is another factor that needs to be discussed here. While the flavor will vary based on the parent plant and the lineage that it comes from, pretty much every haze marijuana strain that you are going to smoke will carry an earthy, woody, herbal, or pine-like taste. There’s also a good chance that they will be sweet, fruity, or lemony. These are the dominant flavor patterns that you will notice across haze strains. 

• Another thing that is common across all haze strains is that they are uplifting and give you a happy and positive vibe after you smoke them. These strains tend to make you feel all cheered up and can also help with depression, stress, and anxiety. Most of the marijuana strains from the haze family will also provide you with a boost of energy and will help you remain more productive and focused.

1. Super Silver Haze Marijuana Strain

One of the first things that stands out about the Super Silver Haze marijuana seeds is that they carry up to 90% Sativa heritage. When it comes to Sativa strains, this is as pure as it can get. There’s 10% Indica DNA in this plant too, but all the characteristics that you see here are Sativa-dominant. The strain has been developed by Green House Seeds by combining the Northern Lights marijuana strain with the Haze Sativa and the Skunk #1 strain. 

The Super Silver Haze marijuana strain has won the High Times Cannabis Cup award multiple times and is a globally loved strain that is a bestseller on the ILGM Seed Bank. The strain is known for being one that can be grown best using hydroponic techniques of growth. Do note that Super Silver Haze requires some amount of past growing experience, and would need a lot of light as well as ventilation to reach ideal levels of yields. This plant prefers growing in a warm and humid temperature, but not too hot. 

When you smoke this bud, you feel a strong head high. The Super Silver Haze strain carries about 18 to 19% THC content in it and delivers quite the mental buzz. This makes for a great morning strain as it can give you a quick boost of energy and creativity, and help you feel more focused at work. This strain can increase your productivity levels as well. There’s quite an uplifting charm to the Super Silver Haze strain, and it has been pretty effective for people who want to socialize at parties, or are facing anxiety or depression.

Given its parent strains are all rich in taste and flavor profile, the Super Silver Haze, too, tastes and smells pretty good. The strain carries a strong herbal smell with a few lemon-like notes that are pretty noticeable. This strain also carries a strong earthy taste to it, which you would associate with most plants of the haze family. It usually takes this plant about 9 weeks to hit peak flowering levels, after which it provides about 19 oz of yields per square meter when grown under ideal conditions.

2. Amnesia Haze Feminized Marijuana Seeds 

The Amnesia Haze marijuana strain is known for a lot of things, but primarily for the amazing combination of a strong taste as well as a powerful and euphoric high that it provides. The strain is a quick-hitter, as it gives you the first buzz in about 10 minutes of the first drag. The strain carries 80% Sativa genetics along with 20% Indica DNA, but all the effects here are Sativa-led. The strain carries a mixed parentage, featuring 5 Sativa parents and 2 Indica parents sourced from all over the world. This is one of the highest-yielding marijuana plants of the haze variety.

There’s about 21% THC content that this strain carries. This is a pretty good number and can get even experienced stoners to feel light-headed in a few drags. This is a working strain as well as a party strain. If you plan on smoking it up before work, make sure you quit after a few drags, or you might find yourself pretty loopy at your workplace. However, if consumed in the right quantity, the strain helps you power through your morning and helps you feel more focused and productive. The strain can also make you pretty talkative, giggly, and social – which makes it a great option for parties.

When you smoke this strain, you get a very earthy and lemony taste, which is what you’d typically associate with most plants of the haze family. The strain also carries a sweet and citrus-rich taste, which makes for quite a refreshing smoking experience. It takes the Amnesia Haze plant close to 12 weeks to hit peak maturity levels, and you’d need to give it another week to 10 days to flush down the plant off any unwanted nutrients. Once you’ve harvested this strain, it gives you pretty high indoor yields – often as much as 25 oz per square meter.

3. Purple Haze (Autoflowering) Marijuana Seeds

‘Purple haze, all in my brain’ – this classic line from the Jimi Hendrix song has forever immortalized this strain in the stoner pop culture. There’s no doubt that this is one of the most iconic marijuana strains all over the world, and among one of the most well-known haze strains. The Purple Haze plant carries about 30% Indica content, which is as high as it tends to go for a Haze strain. There’s about 70% Sativa content here which is the dominant strain. This is the autoflowering variant of the Purple Haze marijuana plant.

The strain carries about 20% THC content and delivers a very strong and psychedelic buzz. The effects of Purple Haze are pretty long-lasting and they make you feel uplifted and happy for a pretty long while. The strain is primarily meant for those who want to experience a euphoric high, which is what makes it great for performers, artists, and for people who attend a lot of social events. You feel a major jolt of energy and it makes you want to do things. 

The strain has a very positive and uplifting effect on those who consume it. When you’re coming out of the effects of the strain, it happens gently and you’ll have a mellow high for a long time. The Purple Haze marijuana strain is the offspring that is produced when you cross the Purple Thai Sativa strain with the OG Haze strain. As the name points out pretty clearly, the Purple Haze strain carries a strong purple color. 

It is a good-looking plant, as well as a good-tasting one. The strain carries a strong blueberry-like taste, along with the classic earthy and sweet Haze tastes. It generally takes about 9 weeks for this plant to fully mature. Upon harvest, you can get close to 21 oz of yields per square meter when it is grown indoors. Lastly, this is a pretty easy cannabis strain to grow and even beginners can grow it on their own.

4. Blue Haze Marijuana Strain

Now that we’ve talked about the Purple Haze marijuana strain, it is only fair to talk about its not-so-distant cousin, the Blue Haze strain. The strain gets its name from the strong blue color that is prominently visible all over it upon maturity. The strain comes as a cross between an OG Haze strain with the iconic Blueberry marijuana strain. As a result, you get the Blue Haze plant which is 80% Sativa dominant and carries about 20% Indica genetics. The Blue Haze strain is a much-loved strain, which has been awarded the High Times Cannabis Cup in the past.

The Blue Haze marijuana strain is a pretty strong and potent one. Usually, the THC concentration here remains around 20%, but in some rare cases, it can even jump up to 24%, so watch out for that. Smoking this strain makes you feel pretty energetic and upbeat. You experience a mind high initially, but when it wears off, you can experience a brief but calming body high too. 

This is a recreational strain and makes for a good option for parties and social events. It also helps bust some stress and is also effective against depression and anxiety. Do make sure you’re smoking it in small quantities though as it can be quite disoriented when you smoke a lot of it. Another pro-tip that our staff writers give us is – always smoke the Blue Haze strain with a bag of snacks (preferably chips and cookies, or a nice and juicy burger) along with you, as this strain is known to give a pretty strong case of ‘the munchies’.

The Blue Haze is also known for the kind of taste and smell that it carries. Thanks to the parent strains, it carries a strong blueberry-like taste along with a sweet and fruity undertone to it. There are some spicy and herbal notes that you can experience every now and then. The Blue Haze plant can take up to 10 weeks to hit the peak maturity phase. When you harvest this strain, you get somewhere between 14 to 17 oz of yields per square meter, if grown indoors.

5. Haze Xtreme Regular Seeds

The Haze Xtreme marijuana seeds are essentially the ‘extreme’ version of the regular OG Haze marijuana strain. The plant produces some pretty dense and moist buds, which is great for someone who wants to create extracts, concentrates, or edibles out of them. Do note that these are regular (non-feminized) marijuana seeds, and you might want to separate the males from the females else they might end up pollinating the female plants. This is a 70% Sativa dominant plant, that also carries about 30% Indica genetics. This strain traces its origins in Canada, and is a good fit for indoor as well as outdoor growers. 

There’s about 22% THC content in the Haze Xtreme strain, and about 0.2% CBD content. While the CBD content is negligible, this is a pure recreational strain as the THC content is high enough to give you a very strong and long-lasting buzz. The strain delivers an extremely potent high which can get even the most experienced of stoners to feel pretty dazed. Make sure you take slow drags here or you might end up pretty disoriented. This is a great strain for people who are looking for a moderate amount of pain relief as well.

The flavor profile of this strain is pretty similar to any other Haze strain – it carries an earthy, herbal, and woody taste. The strain usually takes about 10 weeks before it fully matures (this can alter by a week up or down based on the environmental conditions). You will need to give it another week to 10 days to flush out all the excess nutrients and chemicals so that the end product remains pure, post which you can harvest it. Upon harvest, the Haze Xtreme strain provides between 400 to 550 grams of usable bud per square meter when grown indoors.

6. Arjan’s Haze #3 Feminized Marijuana Seeds

Developed by the Greenhouse Seed Co. and sold on the Seedsman Seed Bank, Arjan’s Haze #3 is one of the best-kept secrets of the Haze family of marijuana strains. This is among the fastest-flowering Haze strains of all time and provides some really impressive results. It has been developed by crossing the OG Haze strain with a Laos Sativa plant. Their offspring is Arjan’s Haze #3, which carries 70% Sativa and 30% Indica DNA. This is an ideal plant for those people who are looking forward to experiencing a mild buzz, but also relief from pain and anxieties. 

The plant carries a 13.3% THC concentration. While this isn’t a lot, it makes for a great strain for people who want to feel a little buzzed, but don’t want to let go of their mental alertness. The strain packs in a little more than just a ‘mellow high’, but doesn’t get you stoned. It makes you feel creative and provides an uplifting happy sensation. Arjan’s Haze #3 is also a great pre-office marijuana strain as it allows you to be creative, focused, and more productive at work. It carries about 1.2% CBD content too and is effective when it comes to pain relief, as well as relief from depression and anxiety.

While Arjan’s Haze #3 might not give you a very strong ‘high’, it will certainly give you a pretty good taste. The strain carries quite a fruity flavor, which is predominantly sweet but also carries some sour and tangy notes. There are quite a few berry-like notes that you can experience as well. If we were to rank these Haze strains by the kind of taste that they offer, this strain will definitely be on top. 

It usually takes Arjan’s Haze #3 about 10 weeks to hit peak flowering, but the flowering process begins pretty early. As a result, you get some really dense flowers. This strain is best grown using the Screen of Green or the Sea of Green techniques. It provides up to 700 grams of yields per square meter when grown indoors, and about 1000 grams per plant when you grow it outdoors.

7. Pineapple Haze Feminized Seeds

Carrying a combination of 70% Sativa heritage and 30% Indica DNA, the Pineapple Haze marijuana strain is a pretty strong strain that carries large yields. The strain is known for its distinct taste and smell, as the pineapple-rich notes really stand out. It isn’t the fastest-growing of plants, and neither is it the easiest of the lot to grow, but once the Pineapple Haze has been harvested, you’d be really pleased with the kind of yield, as well as the quality of yield that you get. The strain is a cross between an OG Pineapple Hybrid strain with the OG Haze Sativa strain. 

This is one of the most unique strains available on the ILGM Seed Bank and one that we would totally recommend to those who enjoy a little fruity and citrus-rich taste. The strain doesn’t really carry a lot of CBD and is primarily meant for recreational stoners. It carries a creative and energizing high, which fills you with some really upbeat vibes and makes you want to be more productive and focused. The Pineapple Haze marijuana strain is a really good option for people who would like to experience something offbeat and mellow.

The strain carries the same sweet and earthy flavor profile as pretty much every other member of the Haze family does. However, the biggest differentiator here is the pineapple-like taste and heavy citrus-rich notes that it carries. It can take you up to 12 weeks before the plant attains peak maturity, and another 10ish days before you can harvest it, but once it has been harvested – you get close to 19 oz of indoor yields per square meter. Outdoor growers can expect somewhat higher returns, but it won’t differ by too much.

8. Neville’s Haze Feminized Seeds

Much like the Arjan’s Haze #3 strain that we’ve seen on this list, the Neville’s Haze strain also comes from the Greenhouse Seed Co. and is sold on the Seedsman Seed Bank. This is a pretty rare strain that not a lot of people are aware of, but once we tried it, it totally blew our minds and we just knew that we had to talk about it here! The strain carries 90% Sativa genes and just about 10% Indica. The strain gets its name from the master breeder from Australia, Neville Schoenmakers. 

Neville’s Haze marijuana strain carries in it about 22.6% THC content, which is quite a lot. Make sure you go slow on it because even experienced stoners can get a very strong hit on this in no time! Smoking this strain will bring forth a strong and psychedelic effect on those who consume it. The effect is pretty long-lasting, and you’ll feel an extreme rush of euphoric high that will energize you when you consume it. There aren’t many medical properties here and the strain carries about 0.15% CBD content. Do note that this is a strain that you might just want to grow outdoors because it tends to grow very tall.

This isn’t the easiest strain out there for beginners, as it requires a lot of care and attention. It can grow as tall as a tree – and you will need to set up a Screen of Green method of growth to grow it. Neville’s Haze strain tends to take up to 16 weeks to hit peak maturity and has a really long growth cycle. However, once it matures, you get really large yields here – up to 1200 grams per plant when grown outdoors. This is one of those rare strains where the outdoor harvest cycle goes as far as November. We strongly recommend those with access to open grow spaces to try out this award-winning marijuana strain!

9. Brainkiller Haze Feminized Marijuana Seeds

The Brainkiller Haze Strain gives you a big hint about the kind of high you’ll experience when you smoke it hidden in its name. The plant can get you very, very, stoned. It is as pure a Sativa strain as it gets, as it carries 90% Sativa lineage and about 10% Indica DNA. The plant carries high THC levels and is another of the most beginner-friendly names that we have on our list. Generally speaking, Haze strains are somewhat tough to grow for newbies. However, this one is a clear exception. The strain is also loved for its high yields and flexible growing nature – it can be grown indoors as well as outdoors with equal ease.

There’s about 22% THC content in the Brainkiller Haze strain, and when you take the first few hits, you will realize why it is named what it is named. The strain tends to have a very powerful effect on the stoners and gives you a long-lasting psychedelic high. You’re likely to witness reality-altering visuals when you smoke this bud, and smoking too much of it too quickly can make you feel nauseous and can trigger anxiety, so pace yourself with it. The strain also carries about 1% CBD content and is a good option for relief from mild pain, as well as against depression, stress, and anxiety.

Much like Neville’s Haze that we saw earlier, this plant too takes about 14 to 16 weeks before it hits peak maturity, and it also tends to grow pretty tall. However, it is much more grower-friendly than most other strains on our list. Upon maturity, you get a strain that carries a pretty herbal and earthy flavor profile, with some woody and pine-like notes turning up every now and then. The Neville’s Haze marijuana strain can provide up to 1100 grams of usable bud per plant – which is a really impressive number, especially for a beginner-friendly plant.

10. Super Lemon Haze (Autoflowering) Marijuana Seeds

If you are looking for a marijuana strain from the Haze family, but want it to be a plant that is extremely easy to grow, the Super Lemon Haze (auto) has to be it! This is just the perfect plant for beginners as well as first-time growers, as it hardly takes any previous know-how to grow it. The strain comes as a cross between the Super Silver Haze strain with the Lemon Skunk plant. There’s also a ruderalis plant that it is later crossed with to get the autoflowering properties. The strain offers about 80% Sativa genetics, and 20% Indica DNA.

There’s 22% THC content in this plant, which gives the stoners quite a happy high. This strain is best consumed by smoking it, but you can also make extracts and edibles out of it. It is one of the best autoflowering options for those specifically looking for plants from the haze family of marijuana plants. The strain can give you a pretty strong and creative buzz which can be very stimulating on a mental level. The strain carries a long-lasting buzz and you’ll feel a mellow effect for long after you’re done smoking it.

There’s a citrus-rich and herbal flavor profile that accompanies the Super Lemon Haze (autoflowering) strain. True to the nature of all Haze strains, this one also carries some earthy notes. This plant is best grown outdoors, as it tends to grow pretty tall. The strain also takes quite some time to hit peak maturity levels – and might take about 14 weeks before it becomes harvest ready. Upon harvest, it yields close to 15 oz per square meter of usable bud when grown indoors. Outdoor growers have an advantage as they get a larger yield per plant, as the plants tend to grow taller in an outdoor setup.

Editor’s Pick: Which is the Best Haze Marijuana Strain Out There?

Having gone through this big list of all the top options that there are when it comes to buying a marijuana strain of the haze family, it is now time for us to reveal our favorites. We sat down with our team of editors and staff writers and discussed some of the top picks out of these strains that we have listed above. Here are some of the conclusions that we came to:

For those who are looking forward to smoking one of the haze marijuana strains for getting high, we strongly recommend the Neville’s Haze strain. It carries a very high THC concentration and gives you a strong and power-packed buzz. The strain gives you an incredible jolt of energy and allows you to think out of the box and feel more productive and focused at work. This is one of the best strains that we would recommend. 

Conversely, if you are looking for a strain that doesn’t get you too stoned but makes you feel a little buzz, you might want to check out Arjan’s Haze #3, which carries about 13.3% THC content. The strain makes you feel happy and uplifted, as well as creative but doesn’t get you too high and keeps you pretty alert.

If you are looking for a strain that carries a somewhat high amount of Indica, we recommend checking out the Purple Haze strain of marijuana. It carries about 30% Indica DNA, which is as high as it gets for a member of the haze family, and provides you with quite an energetic, happy, and social buzz, but also helps you relax and unwind after the energizing effects wean out. 

For those stoners who are looking forward to growing a strain that provides them with very high yields, we recommend checking out The Brainkiller Haze strain – which can provide you with an outdoor yield of up to 1100 grams per plant, which is pretty impressive. 

Lastly, if you happen to be someone who doesn’t have a lot of growing experience, or is growing your first marijuana strain, we recommend you try out the Super Lemon Haze (autoflowering) marijuana strain. This cannabis strain is pretty easy to grow as well as an autoflowering one, which ensures you have to put minimal effort on your side. 

Buyer’s Guide to the best Haze Marijuana Strains

The haze family of marijuana strains is among some of the most popular and in-demand varieties of marijuana plants. Most haze plants carry very similar traits and features but have subtle differences which make each of them unique and different. There are hundreds of haze strains out there, as haze strains are easily crossed with other plants to create different variants and breeders just love them! However, which is the haze marijuana strain that you should be growing for yourself? 

It can get quite overwhelming to choose between so many strains and decide which is the right one for you. You can make use of this section as a checklist of sorts that can help you determine which is the right strain for your needs:

• Understanding the Lineage of the strain

Haze marijuana strains come from a certain lineage and a set of parent plants which give them the specific set of characteristics that they carry. Before you buy a haze strain, you need to look at the parent plants and their genetic lineage. This is important because Haze strains are highly Sativa-dominant and you need to get the best effect out of them, try and get the plants which carry a strong Sativa-dominant parental lineage too.

Haze strains are among the rare few ones where you can find plants that are up to a 100% Sativa dominant. Not only does understanding the lineage help you identify how strong the ‘haze’ like properties are in the plant of your choice, but they also help you understand the kind of effect the plant will have on you, the kind of flavor, taste and color you’d get, etc. Do make sure to observe the lineage before you buy. 

• Ease of growth

Understanding the ease of growth is another important factor that needs to be kept in mind, particularly by the users who are new to growing marijuana, or have not been growing weed for long. New growers can often make mistakes that can end up killing the plant. To reduce that risk, make sure to get strains that are easy to grow.

These include marijuana plants that are flexible to weather and climatic factors. Sometimes, humidity or heat fluctuations can damage the plant. If you’re getting strains that are heat and humidity-resistant, this risk can be mitigated. Similarly, you can also get marijuana strains that are resistant to pests, mold, rots and infections. Not every strain will have all these properties, but you’ll need to assess your risks and get the strain that you believe will survive better. Experienced growers need not worry about this. 

• The THC concentration present in the strain

People who smoke Haze strains generally consume it to experience the ‘high’ that they get out of it. Haze strains generally carry an amount of THC which is ‘right enough’ – neither too high nor too low, usually between the 18 to 22% space. However, there are some exceptions that go higher and lower too. Haze plants, largely speaking, are recreational strains and not something that you would particularly like to use for medical purposes, even though there are some Haze strains that do carry medicinal properties.

The higher the THC content present in the strains, the stronger will the psychoactive effects be that you are likely to experience. Having a high THC concentration along with a Sativa-dominant lineage can get you a very strong, ecstatic, and ‘happy’ high. 

• Taste and Flavor Profile of the Strain

The taste and the flavor profile are important components of the experience of smoking any marijuana strain. These are experiential things and affect the stoners on a subliminal level. The experience of smoking a good-tasting strain that you’d prefer is much better than the experience of smoking a strain that you’d rather not have. 

The kind of aroma it leaves behind also matters – sometimes, certain tastes and smells can have different effects on you. Happiness, arousal, and reducing stress are the primary three. Some stoners enjoy the classic taste that is woody, herbal, and pungent, while others enjoy a sweeter and lighter taste. Depending on where you stand on the taste front, you can choose a strain of your choice accordingly. Most haze strains have an earthy, woody, and pine-like taste.

• Does it carry any medical benefits?

As we’ve pointed out above, most stoners generally tend to look for haze marijuana strains when it comes to recreational usage. However, there are exceptions to this, as there are quite a few haze strains (especially those that have been crossed with CBD-dominant strains) that carry quite a few medical benefits. 

You might come across strains that can help you fight against aches and pains, as well as inflammations. There are others that can help with mental health-related ailments such as depression, anxiety, high levels of stress, and even PTSD. However, make sure to consult with your doctor before you consume any of these strains.

• What kind of effect do you desire out of it?

You should buy Haze strains only if you are looking for an active and alert high that can get you social, excited, and abuzz. It is a Sativa-dominant strain with many plants even going as high as being 100% Sativa-dominant. The more Sativa-dominant a strain is, the more energetic, and euphoric you will feel. 

However, if there’s also a fair bit of Indica, you can also feel some relaxing properties. However, none of these strains will make you comforted or relaxed the way an Indica-dominant plant would. If you are looking for any of those effects, we’d recommend to check out another non-haze strain. 

• Which seed bank or breeder are you buying it from?

Always make sure that you buy your marijuana seeds from a seed bank (and a reputed one at that), and not off the streets. While there are people who go around selling marijuana seeds on the streets, they cannot be trusted – and they also cannot ensure that the seeds they are offering are going to be feminized. Buying from a seed bank such as I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM), Crop King Seeds (CKS), and Seedsman seed bank gives you peace of mind that these seeds are authentic and feminized.

Furthermore, seed banks (especially the good ones) are accountable for the seeds they sell, and if the plants don’t germinate, they can offer you a replacement too. Most top-tier seed banks also accept a much wider range of payment options – and they can also provide you with other farming equipment that you might need. Seed banks give you detailed information about the plant you are growing, along with the parent plants so you get the larger picture.

• Understanding the cost vs time vs yield equation 

Last on this list but something that is extremely important – the cost, time, and yield equation. Growing marijuana can be an expensive affair, especially the first few times because you’re still paying off the cost of the equipment. Hence, you need to look for strains that flower quickly and provide high yields. However, if you’re looking for a unique plant that’s a rare breed, you might also want to settle for lower yields at times. Do keep all these factors in mind while choosing your ideal haze marijuana strain from seed banks. 

Frequently Asked Questions about Haze Marijuana Strains

Growers often ask us a lot of questions about different kinds of strains that are out there. The Haze family of marijuana strains happens to be one of the most well-known strains, and naturally, there are a lot of questions that we get from our readers about these plants.

4. What are the different kinds of tastes I can experience when I smoke haze strains?

The haze family of marijuana strains generally tends to have a set of constant taste and flavor profiles and another element that varies. It is almost always going to be earthy, woody, herbal, and pine-like, and has a good chance of being lemony or citrus-rich with a sweet undertone. Other than that, the second aspect of the taste and flavor depends upon the parent strains – sometimes you have a berry-like taste, other times you get a skunk-like smell, and there are strains that taste like pineapple, oranges, and a bunch of different fruits depending upon which strain the OG Haze has been crossed with. 

5. Is it easy to grow haze strains indoors?

While it is possible to grow haze strains indoors, it isn’t really recommended to do so. This is because all the members of the haze family of strains generally tend to be heavily Sativa dominant, and will therefore grow pretty tall. Managing them in a grow tent or a grow room will become somewhat difficult because of that. Besides, when you grow plants outdoors, they tend to grow taller and produce a higher yield per plant. In any case, it is possibly to grow haze strains indoors, but it is just easier to grow them outdoors.
