Mexican Haze

Mexican Haze: A Creative Buzz

Mexican Haze seeds grow into taller-than-average plants with long spear-like buds and smaller leaves. The plant is green all over as well as covered with white crystal resin. The trichomes that envelope the buds are sticky and sweet and are the main reason for its strong aroma. The buds also have distinct orange hairs that are even more visible once you harvest the plant. The dark green color of the harvested nuggets makes the orange and amber hairs more visible. These nuggets are dense and still have those dusty crystals coating the exterior. If you break these nuggets up with your hands, you will find that your fingers will become sticky and will smell like the strain for days. While Mexican Haze hasn’t won any major awards, its reputation as a legendary strain in the cannabis community is well noted. It has a wonderful resume in the cannabis community among cannabis enthusiasts and boasts tons of positive reviews online.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Mexican Haze seeds thrive best in warm, sunny climates. This strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, but it particularly excels outdoors, where it can benefit from ample sunlight. When grown indoors, it’s important to provide plenty of vertical space, as Mexican Haze plants can grow quite tall. The strain is best grown by intermediate growers with a history of bringing cannabis plants to harvest. It is a high-maintenance strain that requires a steady hand and patience to make these plants thrive. First-time growers should tread lightly, as this strain can be difficult when not taken care of.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Mexican Haze cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. During the flowering stage, a slightly cooler range of 68-80°F is optimal. The light requirement for this strain is 18-20 hours to ensure the proper time of growth. Switching to a 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness light cycle will push this plant into and through the flowering stage.
•  Moisture control: For humidity, it is best to keep it between 60-70% throughout the vegetative stage. Dropping your humidity levels to between 40-50% during flowering will help these plants thrive.
• Training Techniques: Topping, Low-stress training, and the Screen of Green method are the best training techniques for this strain. These methods will help increase yields by allowing light and air to reach all levels of the plant, creating even growth.

Dominant Terpenes in Mexican Haze: Legendary

The Mexican Haze terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is terpinolene, while pinene is the secondary terpene.

• Terpinolene: Most Dominant – Found in about one in ten cannabis strains, terpinolene provides cannabis with a woody and floral smell.
• Pinene: Coniferous Trees – Typically found in pine needles, this terpene adds to the flavor and aroma of cannabis. It creates an earthy taste and smell.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Mexican Haze:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Mexican Haze seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That energizing, happy, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Mexican 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 17%, the THC in this Sativa-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Mexican Haze cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Mexican 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 Mexican Haze strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
