Pink Haze
Pink Haze
Overview
Pink Haze is a sativa-leaning hybrid strain that has emerged as a boutique selection in the cannabis community, prized for its vibrant presentation and energetic, mood-lifting profile. Created through crossing Pink Kush and Super Silver Haze, this cultivar combines the uplifting qualities of classic Haze genetics with the sweet, berry-tinged characteristics of its pink lineage. The strain's exact origins are contested, with multiple credible stories emerging during the 2000s and early 2010s, though growers in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia remember pink-pistil sativas running in specialty rooms over a decade ago. Pink Haze is characterized by its gorgeous oversized, fluffy conical bright neon green buds with dark leaves, abundant bright pinkish-orange hairs, and a coating of tiny, milky pink crystal trichomes. The strain's sensory character combines citrus-zest, berry-candy, and floral haze notes that make its aroma instantly recognizable, while the pink-to-rose pistils that inspired the name create a frosty, silvery trichome layer that brightens the lime-to-olive colas. Because Pink Haze is not a single protected clone but a name used by several breeders, its expression can span a range of terpenes and potencies, though it consistently falls in the 'energetic but friendly' category.

Growing Information
Pink Haze rewards attentive growers with high-end flower but demands precision typical of Haze-influenced genetics. Indoors, expect medium vigor with stretch of 1.5x–2.0x after the flip, making training essential. Plants reach 100–160 cm indoors and 200–300 cm outdoors with long-season sun. Flowering time is generally 9–11 weeks from the onset of 12/12, with some phenotypes finishing as early as day 63 and others pushing day 77. Indoor yields can reach 450–600 g/m² potential when light, nutrition, and airflow are properly managed. Growers report selecting for a calyx-to-leaf ratio around 2:1 to 3:1, which makes for efficient trimming and trichome exposure. The strain benefits from disciplined environment control and training, with careful drying and curing essential to preserve the terpene mosaic that defines the strain. Pink-to-rose pistils are a hallmark, though not every phenotype expresses them strongly under all environmental conditions.
