Candy Haze
Candy Haze Strain Overview
Candy Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid that sits within the broader Haze family tree, which traces back to 1970s Santa Cruz, California, where early breeders combined tropical landrace sativas from regions such as Thailand, Mexico, and Colombia. Over decades, modern breeders selected sweeter-leaning phenotypes and hybrids, giving rise to strains like Candy Haze that emphasize confectionary aromatics while retaining the quintessential Haze uplift. The name itself is descriptive rather than proprietary, and multiple breeders have offered their own Candy Haze selections, meaning the precise genetic recipe can vary by seed bank or cut. However, the core identity remains consistent: a sativa-forward Haze expression with pronounced sweet, citrus, and floral notes.
Candy Haze commonly expresses a terpinolene-forward terpene profile supported by limonene, ocimene, and myrcene, with caryophyllene and linalool in minor but perceptible amounts. The strain typically forms elongated, sativa-leaning colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and visible foxtailing under high light. Buds are medium-density with generous trichome coverage that makes the flower appear sugar-dusted. Coloration trends lime to mint green with vibrant orange pistils, and some phenotypes express faint lavender or pink hues when night temperatures drop late in flower. The breeding goal for Candy Haze is to preserve Haze clarity and uplift while stacking sweet-citrus top notes and improving garden performance.

Candy Haze Strain Growing Information
Candy Haze is easy to grow and suitable for both beginners and experienced growers. It thrives in warm, sunny, and humid conditions reminiscent of the Mediterranean climate. The strain has a relatively short 9-week flowering period and adapts well to various growing environments, reaching a moderate height of 5-8 feet both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants can produce 300-400 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants yield similarly per plant. Growers should expect some phenotype selection work if starting from seed, as Haze genetics are genetically diverse and can segregate traits like internodal spacing, stretch, and flowering length. Plants form elongated, sativa-leaning colas with high calyx-to-leaf ratio and may show foxtailing under high light intensity.
