Blue Haze
Blue Haze
Overview
Blue Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Blueberry indica with the original Haze. The strain is classified as indica-dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa), though some sources describe it as slightly sativa-dominant. Blue Haze emerged as one of four phenotypes (Gold, Silver, Purple, and Blue Haze) that developed from the original Haze breeding work in California during the 1970s. This strain combines the sweet, fruity smell and strong relaxing effects from its Blueberry heritage with the uplifting, creative effects and citrus-spice aroma that makes Haze strains popular for daytime use.
Blue Haze produces super dense and oversized spade-shaped minty green nugs with vibrant blue undertones, thin bright red-orange hairs and a coating of frosty, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. Some phenotypes display bold shades of blue and purple when high concentrations of anthocyanin pigments are agitated by colder than average weather during the growing process. The strain typically contains THC levels ranging from 18-26%, with very low CBD levels. The strain has gained popularity for its complex flavours and aromas, and potent buds that are treasured by cannabis users all around the globe.

Growing Information
Blue Haze has a relatively short flowering time of 8-9 weeks. Plants typically grow to about 1.5 meters in height with an elongated, slender stature reminiscent of sativa genetics. When grown indoors, Blue Haze generates medium yields averaging around 350g/m². This strain is not ideal for novice growers as it needs extra care and attention, being susceptible to overfeeding and mold, and very sensitive to environmental conditions and nutrient levels. It is generally suited for indoor growing environments, needing warm Mediterranean climate to flourish outdoors. Indoor cultivators should maintain temperature around 75°F with 40-50% relative humidity, while outdoor growing is best in temperate, sunny climates. The strain has a favorable bud-to-leaf ratio, meaning growers may not need to trim fan leaves as often.
