American Haze

American Haze: A Cali Creation

American Haze seeds grow into tall, vibrant plants that produce a skunky smell you’ll get a whiff of long before you ever lay eyes on the plant. The plant features short leaves of forest green with dense buds. The buds have orange and red pistils and are totally covered with crystal resin. That resin is partially responsible for the aroma the plant produces. Getting a closer look at the top of the plants you can see multi-colored leaves and buds. Again, you are going to see a ton of trichomes coating the buds in what appears to be a sugary substance. There are even more pistils at the top of the buds. The harvested nuggets are thin and leafy, green and orange, and packed with THC. While American Haze has yet to win any major awards the Haze lineage is one of the most decorated cannabis cultivars the world has ever seen. With Cannabis Cup victories and hundreds of write-ups in High Times magazine, Haze Genetics sports one of the best resumes in all of cannabis.

• Indoor or Outdoor: American Haze cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by master-level growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain of cannabis requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage. Growers will want to switch to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering and make it through to harvest.
•  Moisture control: In terms of humidity levels, you will want to maintain a relative humidity of around 55% throughout the entire grow. This will help keep mold off of your plants in the long run.

Dominant Cannabinoids in American Haze:

Cannabinoids play an important role in American Haze seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, energized, and focused feeling you get when enjoying the American Haze strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 23%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the creative and energized feeling you get when enjoying American Haze cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in American Haze are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the American Haze strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
