Old Timer’s Haze

Overview

Haze is a legendary sativa developed in California during the 1960s and 70s by mixing the era’s finest tropical sativas. It nearly vanished in the 80s due to the rising popularity of skunk and indica strains. However, it has been preserved by a British breeder known as Oldtimer and reproduced to maintain its diverse genetic heritage. Oldtimer’s Haze offers a range of phenotypes from the rare Purple Haze to the more common Green Haze, safeguarding the genetic diversity and quality of the original Haze sativas. This strain is invaluable for preservationists, collectors, and breeders seeking an authentic Haze lineage.

Genetic Heritage and Preservation

Thanks to efforts by Oldtimer and subsequent breeders, Oldtimer’s Haze keeps its genetic diversity intact, showcasing phenotypes across the Haze spectrum. It captures the essence of legendary sativas, appealing to those looking to explore Haze’s original characteristics or integrate its unique properties into new hybrids, offering a blend of mental stimulation and varying effects depending on the phenotype. Its significance is underscored by its stable genetics, making it a dominant choice in breeding projects and an excellent base for creating vigorous, potent Haze hybrids suitable both for indoor growth and outdoor cultivation in specific climates.
