Auto Haze
Auto Haze
Also known as: Haze Auto, Autoflowering Haze, Haze Autoflower
Overview
Auto Haze represents a category of autoflowering cannabis strains created by crossing traditional Haze genetics with Cannabis Ruderalis. These hybrid varieties emerged as breeders sought to capture the renowned cerebral effects and complex terpene profiles of classic Haze strains while introducing the autoflowering characteristics that make cultivation more accessible. The original Haze lineage traces back to Santa Cruz, California in the 1960s-70s, where it was developed from Colombian landrace genetics including Santa Marta Colombian Gold, Colombian Red, and Chocolate Colombian. Auto Haze strains typically inherit the sativa-dominant characteristics of their Haze parentage, including uplifting, energetic effects and distinctive citrusy, spicy, and earthy flavor profiles. The addition of Ruderalis genetics allows these plants to flower automatically based on age rather than light cycles, making them suitable for growers with limited space or challenging climates. These strains typically reach 0.5-1.5 meters in height and complete their full cycle from seed to harvest in 10-12 weeks. The plants produce dense, resinous buds covered in trichomes, often displaying green coloration with orange pistils.

Growing Information
Auto Haze strains are considered moderately challenging to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. These autoflowering plants complete their full cycle in 10-12 weeks from germination, with flowering beginning automatically after 3-4 weeks of vegetative growth. Indoor plants typically reach 50-100cm in height and can yield 300-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor cultivation is possible in Mediterranean, temperate, and sunny climates, with plants remaining compact at 0.5-1.5 meters tall and producing 100-200 grams per plant. The plants prefer temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) and respond well to high-intensity lighting. Low-stress training techniques can be employed to improve yields, but heavy pruning should be avoided due to the limited vegetative period. These strains require moderate feeding, with higher nitrogen during vegetative growth and increased phosphorus and potassium during flowering.
