Growers Comments:
*** 3/4- These buds are made up of nug clusters that are entirely coated in white crystals. The cannabis
leaves within the bud are a much darker green. There are long red hairs evenly but lightly covering the bud. It
has a perfumy-organic scent and is tacky when broken up. The stems also taste much like incense--a quite
different spicy and tangy taste. The high is quick, very stony and visual but doesn't cloud your head, allowing
you to concentrate when/if necessary. (from reviewers in Adam)

Growers Comments:
“Haze seeds were bought from Martijn, the heir apparent to Wernerd´s genetics of Positronics fame. Current
"haze" was said to be a descendant of the legendary cutting "rescued" by Neville at the Seed Bank, so I
decided to take a chance.
Germination on Haze was poor (6 out of 10), not surprising as seeds looked almost lettuce green, three
showed female, no hermaphroditic tendencies detected.
Phenotype was a surprise (even when Martijn said that this "haze" was of the #19 lineage "lightly" crossed with
a short node, short flowering indica for manageability), quite indica dominant: small leaves, up to five
medium-width short fingers, very light green, overall kind of "tender" looking. Very sensitive plant to minor
variations in nutrient availability, short plant with sparse foliage.
The female that was selected for cloning was VERY short, very OILY and with an unusual smell... in between
cellophane and grapes (imagine simultaneously smelling the clear plastic covering a new audio CD and Welch’s
concord grape juice, and you’ll have a close idea). High was intense, UP, heart-racing, but not overwhelming
(never over indulged it though, to avoid possible paranoia).
Not a tremendous yield, averaging 1 oz for each 2.5 feet finished clone (clones easily), buds very oily, not
dense but not fluffy either, under two 400 MHs., in a soil recipe closely resembling BCGA "supersoil" mix.
Miracle Grow (vegetative) and Peters (flowering) in the fertilizer dept.
The reference to #19 in this case is just the number this particular Haze seedling is known under, its "Haze
#19", no connection to Peak #19. The original Haze cutting (according to Martijn) was super-strong but in order
to develop a seedline it had to be crossed with some male and reportedly today has 13% indica in it.
This "Haze #19" plant is definitely NOT what you would expect phenotype-wise (looks indica), but on the other
hand the high is trippy and has almost NO body, the color of the leaves is pale green, has no skunk odor at all
(fruity when growing, spicy "Vicks vapo rub" when cured), it is finicky about its feeding regimen (it immediately
goes yellow)... all traits that one does not associate with Indica.
Not a "wonder" plant, I would rate it 7.5 overall, but its a compact plant, short in height and flowering time, and
you still get a sativa-style of high with an agreeable, non-skunky taste. Good breeding material, good structure
and flowering time, with a respectable high.” –Adam Tripper
Strain: Haze Skunk

Description:
“Winner of the fifth annual "High Times" Cannabis Cup by Dutch Passion. Originally Haze is a pure Sativa
strain. It is crossed with Skunk#1 to get a bigger yield, a softer taste and a shorter flowering period. Truly
superior sweet taste. The high is incredibly clear and up energy. A very favorite strain from our collection. Very
high yield for an almost 100% Sativa variety. Flowering period: 10-12 weeks Harvest time under natural light:
end of Dec. Really tasty strong plant, indoor, 8 weeks.” – Dutch Passion catalog

Growers Comments:
"I'm not sure how close the genetics are, but I recently did some haze x skunk from Dutch Passion. What I
had was-lots of hermies, only one true male out of 10 seeds, 4 real females, each different, from sativa type
to mainly indica--yield low, taste sweet, sweet, sweet. High up, very potent. Best plants were sativa type, small
cola tops 3.5 ft plant with 2 weeks veg, and 8 weeks to mature. I had one of the females that was impressive,
producing more resin than white widow growing with it but the high from this plant wasn’t to intense though. I
probably won’t keep the strain long but I’m not sorry I grew it either." -stix
"I tried Haze skunk from clones. when flowered at 6-10 inches they ended up about 2-3 feet. They would work.
A pure thai i had ended up at about 5 feet when flowered from clones and could be problematic." -Chemo
I just finished a couple of crops of this strain from Dutch Passion. Its a very sweet smoking (lots like Skunk1
but sweeter) and if you get a good mother it can be pretty potent. Out of ten seeds had 1 male, 4 hermies and
5 females with one keeper (makes me wonder about the breeding). Its pretty rough on the lungs but I enjoy it
if I have to keep moving while stoned. It is a very clear energetic high. Fairly low yield. I wouldn’t recommend it
very highly (I like more body in the high) although I enjoy smoking it." - Stix
“I’m not sure how close the genetics are (to Positronics), but I recently did some HazexSkunk from Dutch

intense tho. I probably wont keep strain long but I’m not sorry I grew it either.” - Stix
“Some DP strains are in the big leagues, they just aren’t superstars. I presently have one from them called
Haze/skunk that I really enjoy and smoke a lot, but from most standpoints seed from better breeders can
beat it on all points -Potency, yield, stability, etc. We aren’t saying they are like bag seed at all, just do
yourself a favor and try one of the strains from the other companies.” - Stix
“The NL5 x Haze has an unusual leathery or sandalwood taste, a VERY expanding smoke (that is, when you
inhale it, it just keeps expanding in the lungs). The high from some peoples report is supposed to be "up" but
I get so stoned on it I cant get up and move, dont know if it is difference in mothers or us smokers. I’ve had
friends who are heavy duty smokers who cant take more than a few hits of NL5 x Haze. The Haze x Skunk on
the other hand is not an extremely potent smoke in the same way -its plenty potent but not debilitating like
the NL5xHaze is. The taste is much sweeter, but like most skunk strains, it burns my lungs after smoking lots
of it. Another curious thing about the NL5 x Haze, the high lasts for me about four hours, the Haze x Skunk
about the normal two. If you choose the NL5 x Haze, grow a less potent variety along with it for "daytime"
smoking, the NL5 x Haze is so potent it bums me out if I smoke it all day.” - Stix.
“The skunk x haze is a relative compact plant that looks really great. Its about 1 m high, 1,25 in diameter and
very nicely branched conically like a Christmas tree. The flowers seem to be compact and plentiful (every
internode) and the odor is very nice. Less pungent than skunk, but I doubt if it will taste like haze, there
seems to be a lot of skunk in it. It reacts relatively fast to a change in light regime. After 4 days of 12 hrs the
first flowers appeared.” - Smurf

Description:
"Haze is a late sativa from America, widely agreed by experts to be the best pot in the world. Very popular in
the 70's, it nearly became extinct in recent years as growers switched to easier varieties. We managed to
salvage a few viable seeds from the last crop grown in America and we have used them to produce some
remarkable hybrids. Haze is known for an extreme, almost psychedelic spaciness. The fragrance is complex
and deep with a dry flowery perfume over a base of dark leathery animal tones. When used in a hybrid it adds
fascinating notes of depth and complexity to the taste, as well as a unique addition to the high. While not for
everyone, the most jaded connoisseur will often find haze irresistible”. –The Seed Bank catalog, 1988

Growers Comments:
"Regarding …Haze, Ed Rosenthal says he knows (it was) developed by Cultivators' Choice in California in the
70's”
“Haze is the most difficult and challenging of any strain, perhaps Thai sativas also. Haze takes a long time, in
a recent interview Ben Dronkers said a true Haze takes 8 months to flower! Yow! In fact, Haze seeds are very
pale, never dark. A seeded Haze takes upwards of 16 - 20 weeks for good seeds. The high is pulse racing, I
would say even paranoid. In fact, I have reservations about recommending Haze, because I have seen
irregular behavior in some of its regulars. I think Haze is extremely powerful and cannot be used casually,
because it plays to deep emotions is what I have observed. That said, it also makes a difficult cross because
often a cross with Haze imparts the Haze flowering time and modest yield but not its intense & dominating
high. Ideal crosses would see the Haze stone with a quicker delivery, but in my opinion Haze does not cross
indicas well, its better suited to a sativa, whether that be a Skunk (as in Super Silver Haze) or another. I prefer
the sativa high of a Durban, Hawaiian Sativa, Sensi Skunk, Joker's Haze/Skunk (not a replica of any Dutch
strain). I must say Willy Jack is busy trying to find the perfect Haze cross, as he has crossed Haze with Black
Domina, Big Bud, Jack Herer, Early Girl, Hindu Kush, William's Wonder, and maybe others I've forgot in order
to find the perfect cross, maybe take the 'edge' off the Haze as well as the desirable quickening of flowering."
- Marc Emery
“Good luck finding pure haze, I sure didn't get it. My success was planting 6 seeds from Positronics through
Jock, kept them in the fridge until germ, and got a 50% germination rate. Of the 3, one turned to be a
beautiful male, with a sativa/indica profile, but nice internode lengths, medium green medium wide leaves,
heavily serrated. Collected the pollen.... The other two turned out hermie like, one very hermie which unloaded
its pollen on some others, the other which a few days before harvest started showing weird misshapen male
parts in the midst of the female flowers. The calyxes were very purple as well as the underneath of the small,
wide, dark green bud leaves - very indica looking. No pollen released on this one.
Am I disappointed? You bet. Had visions of pollinating a real, pure, sativa haze with some of my babes. From
everything I've read, haze has been bastardized by the Dutch, it's no longer pure. You don't know what you're
getting until you've "groaned" it out.
Being a little cynical, I don't think I'm going to order from overseas anymore. Read another post that the haze
another grower got from Homegrown Fantaseeds was very afghan like. Heard also that Positronics, Dutch
Passion and Homegrown are all affiliated, so, if I were ordering from of these banks and they all had the
"same" strain, I would go with the best price. Homegrown is able to up its prices based on the awards won on
some of its stock at the Cup. This kind of crap will eventually hurt the Dutch. A lot of their stuff is prone to
herms, a big negative as far as I'm concerned. Think their interest lies in profits rather than breeding out
rotten genotypes. If I am paying $4 to $25 a seed, I want a first class product, with no misrepresentation from
some flowery ads. Unfortunately we can't turn to the BBB to claim.
Be sure to ask your distributor if he will guarantee his stock as the real deal.” - Uncle Ben Dejo
“I know which one not to buy. I grew Homegrown Fantaseed's Haze and it had no potency what so ever. It
looks to be a Haze/indica F1 with the indica being very dominant in the high. I have a bunch of seeds from it
that may or may not be worth growing out. In closing, don't bother with this version of Haze.” – RedDevil
“I have tried HGF's Haze. It most certainly is not the real deal. There is a lot of indica bred into it. I'm not sure
if there is any real original Haze in it at all or if they just called it Haze for sales reasons. It grew well, cloned
easily and even had a great pineapple smell. The potency on the other hand was not there at all Sativa/indica
or otherwise. Don't do it.” -RedDevil

Description:
"1988 Catalog the Seed Bank introduced a Haze X NL #1 hybrid. In 1989 they introduced Haze X NL #5. Today
the Sensi Seed Bank offers NL#5 X Haze. I do not know if the listing of Haze first in the "Name" as opposed to
the listing today of NL#5 first in the "Name" has any real bearing on the formulation of this cross. I do know
that the 88 version and the 89 version were indeed different.
Specifications:

Growers Comments:
88 version (Haze X NL#1 ) states ‘Haze X Northern lights has been the most reliable haze hybrid so far and is
our favorite smoke. It is a bit stretchy and difficult to grow but well worth it".
1989 version: "Due to tremendous customer demand, we have spent years searching for a superb Sativa/
Indica hybrid that is suited for indoor growing but still retains the unique sativa qualities in the high. The Haze
X NL#5 hybrid is the result of this search. A note of warning: Adverse effects have been known to occur among
inexperienced smokers, particularly when combined with alcohol. Side effects may include nausea, dizzyness,
fainting and loss of bowel and bladder control. Extreme introspective behavior is considered normal"
"One item that may be of interest is that in the 1988 Catalog the Seed Bank introduced a Haze X NL #1 hybrid.
In 1989 they introduced Haze X NL #5. Today the Sensi Seed Bank offers NL#5 X Haze. I do not know if the

"I grew that strain in '89 and your right, one of the wildest highs I have ever had from pot. The pistils must
have been almost an inch long when they were fresh. It took 4 months for them to come but I never regreted
it after the first stone." -Lady J
"Your main problem will be getting any real original haze I don't think its available in Holland the last people
to sell it were positronics there stock went to Dutch passion and I think they are selling a version of haze
modified by them as they state a finish time of 9 to 10 weeks to suit the hurry up boys. Original haze takes at
least 14 weeks and the best ones 16 to 18 weeks."-Oldtimer1

Specifications:

Growers Comments:
“I would strongly suspect that this hybrid, despite it being carried by Dutch Passion, Homegrown Fantaseeds
and Positronics, originates in a single breeding operation (same exact genes, regardless of source), since all
three seed companies have been consolidated under one owner. Which helps explain why all three seed
companies claim the hybrid has won a Cannabis Cup prize ‘for them’.”
“Hehe... sounds like a strong sativa. I have a Haze19Xskunk#1 (positronics) that kicks out bud with a distinct
'heart racing' feeling. This bud keeps me wide awake. Zero to LSD in two tokes. This may be of interest to
those wishing to grow killer sativa outside and have it mature. I grew Haze #19 from TAC and had 80% of the
plants start flowering after 3 months regardless of day length. I have no explanation for this but I talked to
Mike at TAC and he said that this is common with Haze #19 which is very variable. We are still getting 14 hours
of daylight and my Haze has been flowering for two months. It is typical Haze potency but you need to be fairly
experienced to grow it properly unless you have a good location. The reason being that it grows very tall and
spindly and it also grows very fast." - Dynamite
"I grew a haze19 X skunk#1 strain I got from jock, and enjoyed growing this strain. The resin it produces is
delicious in odor ... sugary & citrus. The high from the buds is strong! The plants were harvested in about 55
days. The scissor hash was incredible. With the 2 out of 10 ten females I grew, I didn't locate a plant worthy of
the strain corral. The yields weren't too good with this plant. I'm very happy with my new indica strains now. I've
had some totally meditative smoking sessions with the shishkeberry ... detailed closed eye visuals while
relaxing, ahh! that's my kinda' weed. Good luck with the haze X skunk... if you can find a good yielder, it'd be
a great strain. I let my haze X skunk plant go, but I crossed it with a shishk male to try and make a worthy
hybrid ..." -Shiva
“Bank: Positronics
Supplier: Jock
Started with 10 seeds, all 10 germinated and sprouted. Had 6 females and 4 males with this variety all but one
practically identical. They grew and looked like clones from the same Ma and they grew well. No males were
kept after indicating sex, probably a mistake. This variety was a pleasant surprise with yield and especially
buzz, what a buzz.
Of the 6 females 5 of them were just about identical in growth both during veg and flowering. They had leaves
somewhere between the indica dark and sativa light green with midsize width blades. The one loner plant
showed its differences during flowering. While the majority had bud covering most of the stem this one grew
nuggets at the nodes, thick tight ones.
Because they were so similar in growth just three were kept to be grown from clones. They were all worthy
mothers though. As a matter of fact if you had to or wanted to do a seed crop from plants grown out in Jr. as of
now these would be a better choice than even my favorite the NL x Shiva because of the uniformity. NL x Shiva
also from Posi
5- This one was the highest of the yielders and came in third in buzz with the plants that were killed off. Not a
distant third just third. The plant matured in approximately 8 weeks. This ma actually has production potential
based on what has been seen so far.
6- This baby was the lowest of the yielders but came in a strong second in buzz. It also finished in
approximately 8 weeks.
10- This was the rebel of the bunch. Difference in growth weren’t that noticeable during veg but this plant
showed its colors during flowering. The others had bud formation up and down the stem while this one grew
chunky buds at every node. This made for a longer manicure but it was worth it since this plant has the best
buzz at this time by a noticeable margin. It’s probably the best weed in the stable right now even while still a
pup. This was an 8 to 9 week baby. It’s at the very least good enough for a head to head with the current
champs Top 44 and NxS right now.
Aroma: Kind of a slight skunky smell on the sweet side. Nothing offensive nothing overpowering, but fairly
strong. Double bag when carrying stink without doubt.
Buzz Well above average. Ah what the heck.
This chit is nice.
Semi couch-lock with a kick is the best I can do. Not couch lock but could be, not sativa intense but it has an
edge plus it creeps up on ya. You get a buzz and feel like that’s it, next thing ya know. You’re not grinning
you’re smiling 61514 At this early age the buzz is in the same class as the older plants in the stable Top 44
and NL x Shiva. Imagination knows how the buzz will be when the plants are older.
The oddball - 10 û with the superior buzz has more of an edge and leans towards a sativa side more than the
other two. The weed already has a nickname- Sunshine Weed; the buzz is better in the sun. I guess it’s
because the edge is taken off some with the sun beating on ya bean and it all works out to a good thing, very
good. Can’t be explained you’ll have to do it.
One last note.. This weed rings some bells from days gone by?
Taste: Distorted by feeding- nothing to write about nothing to bitch about. Good but not great.
Yield 5 has production potential and was kept for that reason. The yield from the others was at least average.
As a whole taking all plants into consideration yield was better than average and there is a possibility of all
getting much better with time and choice of method used to grow em. Good ScrOG potential with this strain.
Comments: The day this is puffed when it’s older will be a great day I’m sure. Also curious to see how the yield
compares to the rest of the stable. If it gets just a tad bit better in the buzz department with age this will be
the new stone champ without doubt. It could be already NL x Shiva is dusting off the belt for transfer." - flick

Description:
“Pedigree: Almost pure Haze with just a hint of Indica (Northern Lights). Strength: The most potent variety of
its kind on or off the market. Not recommended for inexperienced smokers - too trippy - too profound.
Specifications:
Flowering Times: Indoors: should be started under 12 hours of lights. The earliest will finish in 14 weeks
(25%). Those that take much longer than this are usually discarded as not practical. Outdoors: should be
grown in the Tropics + started just before the on set of autumn. Yields are surprisingly good - the longer
flowering time is usually compensated with extra large yields, both in and outdoors. Not for the novice smoker
or grower.” –Greenhouse Seeds catalog
Growers Comments:
“The plants are still in early flowering. They were started Feb 23 under a 400W HPS on a 14 hour light/10 hour
dark schedule. After that, light period was slowly decreased for two weeks, at which time, they were put on
12/12 and flowered(about March 10). Sometime in late March or early April (I forget) the damned old hps bulb
went dead! Fortunately, the weather had warmed up so that I could take them outside during the afternoon,
and inside under a bank of florescents for some hours after that. Now, it's warmed up enough to leave outside
for 11 hours each day. I selected two females and one male which had the pure haze phenotype, and
discarded(gave away)all the rest. From the first, these seedlings had extremely long, slender leaves. One
female had very drooping leaves to boot. It was my intention to let the male fully pollinate the females for
seeds. Well, they've been in flowering about 6 weeks now, but stretching is just now slowing down. I'm
expecting another 8 or more weeks till finish. It was a mistake to flower them so soon as the tallest is only 2
ft., but I did take clones from the females which I'll veg to 7 in., and those should stretch to about 5 ft. once
they're flowered. As I said, the ones I selected appear to be pure haze with no indication of NL! Some of the
ones I let go were about a third NL, but these are pure! At least, for outward traits, and apparently, for hidden
traits as well. Leaves are the longest and most slender that I've ever seen! Yield is very poor at this point! The
top bud site looks like a small marble on top of a two foot pole. I don't know, it's hard to judge what the final
yield would be on an unseeded, sinsemilla plant. I'm pretty sure that a five foot plant would have a fair yield.
Grown in the tropics, this strain would easily get to 20 ft., and have an enormous yield, but indoors-no! It is
definitely not suitable for SOG. But, if you're like me, you'd rather have a little of the best there is, than a lot
of some other.”

“It is the "ultimate". Can do a wake-and-bake without turning into a couch potato. Needs lots of lights.
Stretches like a sativa. But gets plenty of crystals. Hash made from those crystals, put into the nation's water
supply ... uh I forgot what I was going to say. Anyway, it's gooood. And, it's probably not the best for a newbie,
it can put them away like when you eat too much. Trip to the hospital, etc. -- no shit, this happened to a friend
of mine. (It created diabetes complications. Extreme hypoglycemia. So make sure you've got plenty of
nutrition bars from your obnoxious network marketing friends, drink lots of water, and you'll be better
prepared. Your brain cells are going to be going on a rocket trip ... they need lots of fuel !! But be careful ... if
you go shopping under the influence of this stuff you'll spend too much money before you know it. I would
suggest the NL5xHaze. Heavy yielder, great sativa buzz however it does take a little longer (70 days) but worth
the wait if its for your head.” – Rooot
“A-1 I got some of those seed from Nevil in 88 and I've seen it make many experienced smokers do strange
things-throw up, anxiety attacks-honest to goodness. I just recieved an order of Sensi Seeds version of it and
cant wait to compare it. I think Nevils seeds from the old Seed Bank days were great.” – Stix
“The haze/nl5 I had was the most visual, near acid-like high I have ever had. 10-12 weeks to finish and worth
every nailbiting day of it (imo). You will also be pleasantly surprised with the yield too. Haze must be VERY
dominant in that hybrid judging by the high. The NL just keeps the flowering under 16 weeks more than
anything. They didn't call Nevil "the king" for nothing... I had one plant stretch 6" overnight! No lie. That Haze
is something completely different from most sativas. When Nevil released that strain he was the only one with
pure NL5 AND pure Haze both of which he found in the States.” - Lady J.
“Was it you that had experience with NLxHaze? I now have two from Sensi that are growing like wildfire in my
flowering closet. They have almost taken over. My question is are these girls going to be worth the trouble they
are causing. If not I am thinking of ripping them out now. It is really running on me. Has to be the Haze.
Here's to hoping it is all you say. I will tough it out. I had a similar problem with NLxHaze from the bc seed co.
These did not preflower.They full on began to flower at about 6-7 weeks.When it became apparent that they
would continue, I moved them into the flowering area. After a decent harvest, I revegged all three and after
about 5-6 weeks they began to flower automatically AGAIN. I have bred these plats and their offspring have
just begun to break soil. I'll just go with the flow and play jr.scientist trying to find out if it was enviromental or
genetic. It was great and worth the money but still not the best I ever had... growing conditions could have
been a little better. The buzz was powerful and very up heady, a little disorientating and a good laster. Taste
was unique kind of a lime flavor with a fruity-tooty hint. mellow burn. excellent stuff but I have had stronger in
jamacia. slow-slow-slow grower and quite pricey for the seed bank seeds. I may have gotten better results had
I waited longer and dryed longer. I still have 5 seeds left and 4 clones so I am going to refine my growing
techniuqe. but it will be a long time for 2nd set of results. would I recommend it yes but maybe not on limited
funds or for the impatient grower. I love the taste though and the buzz... awesome!” – Turbo
“Remember how my NL5xHaze budded on auto? Well the harvest was somewhat small as a result, but the bud
was damned stoney. At about 6 weeks reveg the plants went on autobud again so into flowering they
went.Larger this time.” – sb
"Being a big fan of this original cross by Nevil of The Seed Bank, I’ve been waiting for the chance to grow out
Sensi's version of it. The original was the most potent, devasting high I’ve ever had the pleasure of growin.
The best plants leaned to the indica side in her traits, finish was longish but worth it, with tight, large, crystally
buds. Sensi's version today, however, doesn’t come close to the original in any way. Its mostly sativa, LOOSE
buds, potency at best average, and Ive honestly lost track how long they've been budding, and 90% of
females not finished yet. I dont really think any of the females(9) I got from this order will be worth keeping,
to say the least Im very disappointed, since I have recommended this strain to so many people. Perhaps the
successful grows of this strain use a mega amount of light since mine is only 40 watts ft/sq. or else it was my
turn to be unlucky with the females in my order, but Id never recommend this to anyone again. I know time
makes the memories better, but I swear the strains from 85-90 from SSSC and The Seed Bank were much
better than most of what we get today, or am I getting old? It seems the hybrid vigor of the crosses from that
era were much more vigorous than crosses today." -stix
“This hydro is light green with scarce long, red hairs and very crystally buds. It breaks up very easily and emits
a sweet green scent, characteristic to Northern Lights. The buds are surprisingly much denser than they seem.
Smoked, the buds are smooth but very expansive in the lungs and will certainly leave you coughing. The taste
has a mild overall bouquet if not a bit bland. The high comes on quickly but is mild and relaxing, and even a
bit spacey. *** 1/4” – Homepage Amsterdam
“As for the nl5xhaze, I tried it both on e f table with 40+ watts/s.f. and in e-f trays with much less light, about
30 watts/s.f. Using GH nutes with fox farm and EJ Catalyst in both systems. Most plants in strain outgrew table
and were moved to trays but a couple stayed short enough and bloomed profusely-large as a football and
loose as could be. Ones in trays were more sativa and finished bout 6 feet and were more potent with
better-looking buds, though still loose. They are covered with resin. More light would have been a big plus and
perhaps the sole reason my results weren’t as good as your own. Air turnover every minute in both grows. I’m
not as disappointed since I've sampled them since they’ve matured, the early samples weren’t too potent at
all-I think they were worth the effort cause they do express the haze pretty well in the smoke and that’s always
a treat.” - stix
“I have a few NL#5 Haze that I have just harvested, I was really happy with the product produced. Fat tight
buds, minimal stretching. and mine was from Mike, straight from Sensi. Mine gained height of around 5 and a
half-foot, they yielded pretty well as well. I bent them over and it increased the yield.” – Mirage
“I've just finished growing out ten NL#5 x Haze females. Firstly the seeds were bought in Sensi for USD 150.-
You get 16 seeds to a pack. Germination saw 15 seeds pop, out of which 5 were males. I let the plants
vegetate until 2 feet in height - mistake. On going to 12/12 the plants took off towards the ceiling. They
eventually reached 6 feet and were a regular pain in the ass to look after; buds bending branches over,
running buds etc.... (I'm using 600W HPS in a 5 x 5 grow room). The plants were just about mature after
75-80 days.
I'm now in the process of drying and curing with the intention of selecting the best mother afterwards for regen.
and cloning.
I must say that I'm disappointed in the quality at this point. The buds I've smoked so far have had a really
nice taste and are very smooth to smoke. The high, however, leaves something to be desired. Although I
haven't sampled the best bits on each plant I have yet to come across a NLH bud which flattens me. Sensi say
this is 'extremely potent' grass. What does this mean ? Extremely potent for whom exactly ? I'm a joint-a-day
man for years and my intention in buying these expensive seeds was to grow a really potent strain to have for
my 'experienced' buddies.
There seems to be a high variability in potency among the ten plants. My experience tells me that I'm not
going to find a killer here. Manicuring a cola from a plant always gives me a clue to its potency. I use a
scissors and if it gets clogged up by resin I know I have a good smoke. Only one of these plants had this
ability. However, I'm reserving final judgement until the plants are fully dry and mostly cured (about another 3
weeks) before I start ranting and raving.
Tips for growers of this strain :
Put on 12/12 when plant is under 12 inches.
Maturity will take 75-85 days.
You need LOTS of light.
Yield is o.k
Cloning is easy - I've tried it.
The buds will be fluffy, not tight.
No major smell problems with this strain.” -Harry H.

Growers Comments:
"Haze (Katsu coffee shop) This place came highly recommended to me from Tony at Sagarmatha. They are
said to have "the best Haze in all of Holland". Trippy buzz with a similar taste to the Kali but not quite the
same. Very, very cerebral in nature. Like the onset of LSD right before it really kicks in. Some what
apprehensive feeling with heart racing aspects. This bud is for experienced smokers only. It could really freak
out a newbi consumer."-Prince Caspian
"The most mind-blowing weed BY FAR, that I've ever smoked (in 25 years of steady smoking) is Haze. It's like
taking LSD. I can't even rate a second or third because NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE TO HAZE." –Mr Soul
"Cleaner, cerebral buzz from the pure sativa. Haze is a super sativa of four sativas; Colombian, Mexican, Thai,
and South Indian. Haze is one of the few genuine, pure sativas in existence (from BC Seeds catalog). Mine is
the original haze from positronics. It has very long, slim fan leaves. the plants are so limp that the large new
fans make the tops droop over kinda like a sunflower. its definately a pure sativa strain. toke it easy on
mature haze. i have some original haze barely budding and its already a killer. did our haze have long skinny
leaves and limpy plants? haven't got to try any mature bud yet,but the 2 week into flowering green tips give
me a better buzz than mature durban bud. unfortunately i just had to put them outside into a longer light cycle
so maturity will probably be delayed. i do believe it will be some of the best of the bunch when mature."
-Toker2
"The original Haze from Positronics, which is a stabilized hybrid is said to produce 5-10% special plants and be
75% female. Out of 5 mother plants, there is one that is a little different from the others. The leaves are a tad
bit wider and the plant is definately showing more vigor than its sisters." -Toker2
"That's what I thought, Wernard at Positronics got one of the original clones. I got a handle on the general
growing characteristics, how's the high? Is the Posi. Haze as potent as the Haze reputation?" -Uncle Ben
"In the seventies we tried several times to grow original haze in the uk all to no avail we were using cool white
and grolux and didn’t know about hid’s. in the eighties we tried again using 100w per sq ft the selected ladies
took 15 to 18 weeks on 12h and the start of amber glands. some of these were still growing at 18w and would
probably need less hrs to stop them. I don’t think the so called hazes offered in Holland can be the same
thing some quote 8 weeks some 9. Over the years we made a number of crosses with short time indicas the
last two were the best [see post 24 ] . The high was very high, not at all paranoid, some people reported
coloured edges to their vision unfortunately not me. We found it just too expensive and difficult to grow but it
has left us with some high yielding hybrids with a touch of the haze high as a memory. The shortest we got the
time down to was with super skunk m x o~haze f = 10w and o~haze m x ss f = 9w at 12hrs." -Oldtimer1
“I just finished some Positronics original haze for the most part under 44w/sq'.the clones were taken from
outdoor mothers. The outdoor buds at 7 weeks had far better potency and taste than the indoors had at 12
weeks. It did make some righteous size buds indoors and a nice yield, approx. 2 oz/plant. Unfortunately, it
just didn't have the kick of its outdoor mother. I really believe haze needs far more lumens.” – toker2
“Haze is a sativa hybrid. If I remember right, they mentioned Mexican, Colombian and Thai in varying
degrees. This would explain some of the variation I saw in the hybrids Nevil sent me. Some of the extreme
sativa characteristics included one plant with a 6" sport in 24hrs. That happened right after the induction of
flowering. Outdoors they would have been giants.” - Lady J
“Posi haze is mostly Colombian x Mexican with small amounts of Thai and south Indian. It was created by "the
Haze brothers" in California 20 years ago.”
“Our Haze is indeed from Posi's genetics, the flowering times do differ. Hydro tends to be quicker. Bio (in soil)
we find can take 1 - 2 weeks longer. 10 - 13 weeks would be most likely on a hydro base. Of course there is
some variation from grow room to grow room, even though it's the same strain. Haze is one of our most
popular strains and is well worth the wait. A real up high of cosmic proportions.” - Homegrown Fantasy
seedbank
“This sounds close to my strain, except the very best go to between 16 and 18 weeks, Homegrown Fantasy
must have done what they call improving the strain to reduce the hrs to 10 to 13 because that’s not what
Positronics started with. In fact it is very close to what you get with an F1 cross between original haze and
original skunk No 1 which is probably closer to the truth. The other thing is to grow original haze well indoors
light levels in excess of 100 w per s.f. are needed its not an economical crop.” - Oldtimer1

Description:
“Although the cerebral high of the Sativa is preferred by many, indoor growers aren't too font of this type:
Sativas get very tall, take a long time to finish off and produce skimpy yields. We have spent years searching
for a superb Indica/Sativa hybrid suited for indoor growing. By crossing the Haze, the most powerful Sativa in
the World, to a non-dominant Indica we managed to get the height and flowering time of the plant down to an
acceptable level and still retain the unique Sativa qualities of the high. The results: the Silver Haze, winner of
the '89 High Times Harvest Festival. Don't expect top yields but top quality that will excite the true connoisseur.

Growers Comments:
“This bud is so crystally that it looks silver, as its name portends, but underneath the crystal layering are
actually dark-green buds with flame-orange hairs in clusters all around the bud. These buds are fairly difficult
to break up due to their density and leave a tacky (but tasty) film on your fingers. The stems taste like flower
nectar. The smoke is sweet and pleasant and tastes mild but a bit piney. The high hits you right away with a
stony, vegetative high that could leave you wandering around Dam Square wondering which way your hotel is.
****” – Homepage Amsterdam
“I have both silver haze and skunk x haze in early bloom outside right now. I planted them around half may.
The skunk x haze is a relative compact plant that looks really great. Its about 1 m high, 1,25 in diameter and
very nicely branched conically like a Christmas tree. The flowers seem to be compact and plentiful (every
internode) and the odor is very nice. Less pungent then skunk, but I doubt if it will taste like haze, there
seems to be a lot of skunk in it. It reacts relatively fast to a change in light regime. After 4 days of 12 hrs the
first flowers appeared.
The silver haze looks much more like a sativa with longer internodes and sparser leave. I topped it when it was
very small so it wouldn't get too tall and this has turned out nicely. The plant is also about 1 m in height and
about 1.50 m in diameter. The appearance of flowers was fast (also +- 4 days) but they are leafier and more
concentrated on the tops of the branches. The smell is much softer then the skunk x haze and much "hazier"
(If you have smoked real haze you know what I mean, there is nothing like it!)” -Smurf

Description:
“This variety made Dutch Passion the “High Times Cannabis Cup” winner in 1992. Formerly this strain was
called “Haze Skunk”. Still one of the best for the Dutch Passion team. Original Haze is a pure Sativa strain. It
is crossed with Skunk #1 to get a bigger yield, a softer taste and a shorter flowering period. Truly superior
sweet taste. The high is incredibly clear and energetic. A very favorite strain from our collection. Very high yield
for an almost 100% Sativa variety.

Growers Comments:
"I had the opportunity to acquire some Super Haze from Henk in late September. They got through customs
just fine. I germed in soil of a fine mixture in early October. Of 12, 11 germed and unfortunately 5 turned out
to be herms with largely male characteristics. 2 true males, 4 females. Fairly broad, medium degree leaf
serrations, and max 7 blade leaf structure. These babies grow fairly quickly in veg under my 250w HPS with
320w supplemental fluorescent. Problem was though in flowering as this strain took too long to finish. Took
about 6 months total. Very deceptive in that the buds will look beefy, but the hairs take more time to turn than
any other stain I have encountered. My guess is that this strain will perform much better in high light -
temperature situations. I am going to try outdoors now and compare. Under the 250 light and the floros I got
some nice 6 - 8 inch colas but they were not as tight as a big light setup would produce. I accidentally
pollinated more bud than I had intended to when my pollen collection cup hit the fan...whoops...oh well, now I
have enough seed to grow a small forest. And believe me when I say they ought to rename it Redwood bud.
Next time I think I'll try something more suited to my setup like NL." -Patient Grower
"In the new Dutch Passion catalog, Henk the owner insists on calling his HAZE/SKUNK cross which won the
Cannabis Cup in 1993 now called 'SUPER SILVER HAZE'. The Super Silver Haze that won the Cup is by
Greenhouse Seeds. Henk is fairly proprietary about names, he has registered many of his own, so he must be
fairly convinced the Super Silver Haze is an identical Haze Skunk cross.” – Marc Emery
"Isn't Dutch Passion's variety Haze/Skunk called Super Haze? The Super Silver Haze is Skunk/Haze/NL. I was
just at the Greenhouse and they have the genetic backgrounds of most of their seeds printed right on the seed
menu." - Sensi Claus

Growers Comments:
“Close sources say Arjan bred the SSH (nl x haze x skunk )in the Sensi Seed breeding rooms (Cannabis
Castle) with royally bred Sensi strains. It's basically the same exact thing as Jack Herer, but with one
difference. Arjan had some reputed misunderstandings with Sensi Seeds, and took the strain with him,
accidentally leaving behind his notes (woops!).
The key difference is that Neville donated his special pure isolated "Haze" strain to the SuperSilverHaze which
made it slightly better than Sensi's version. Neville went on to screw Arjan in much the same way Arjan screwed
over Sensi.” -Tobes
“I bought Super Silver Haze in Amsterdam directly from Greenhouse. Out of everything available in Amsterdam
(including all kinds of hash), I smoked Super Silver Haze about 40% of he time because it was the nicest
tasting smoke in Amsterdam. Most Amsterdam smoke has little taste in my opinion. But the Super Silver Haze
from Greenhouse had a spicy taste, that everyone I shared it with commented on.
Most of the plants I grew with seeds bought in November are about 45" tall, but I bend then over almost in half
so they are only about 26" high not including the rockwool. I get lots of various size buds that are pointy on
top when fully mature, with a long top branch of buds about a 18” long that you could call a spread-out cola.
One plant I pruned in veg. Toped at the 4th node than again a week later. It created 4 main colas with only 4
or 5 side branches.. It is just about ready. It will be less than 30” mature (not bent at all) and very compact
not as wide) compared to the other Super Silver Hazes (and much easier to manage). For SOG, you would need
to be a master at controlling the growth patterns. But if you know how, you could get (4) four cola Super Silver
Hazes per Sq. foot, or at least 3 that could yield at least 22 grams of dry manicured bud.
I have not had pure Haze so I can’t comment on the existence of the Haze component. It is supposed to be
crossed with Nevil’s Haze, one of the world best Sativas.
The high is complex, slightly up. I need to study it more but it is up there with the best, but not the strongest,
per say. But most people will like this strain. Every one likes different things. This is not MY very favorite.
I can tell you it was a relative bitch to manicure compared to Great White Shark and Mantanuska Tundra and
other strains that have more compact buds before curing. It manicured like White Widow, the buds were fully
formed after 7.5 weeks like WW would be after 10 weeks. You have to go in deep with cutting shears and get
out a lot of little leaves that are best removed. It takes time. I’ll always grow Super Silver Haze, but probably
one plant every other grow. I’ll keep a mother of the best and continue my search for the plant of my dreams.”
- Ananda
“(To breed SSH you need to start with a) NL5 Male x Haze female. The main trait(s) you are trying to obtain
from the Northern Lights #5 is the short height and, if possible, the trichome gland production. The only
characteristics you seek from the Haze are the high and flavour.
Once you have a stable version of those two, cross a NL#5 x Haze male with a Super Skunk female, thus
making it "Super". The main reason Greenhouse Seed Co. created SSH was because a little while back quite a
few people were upset with the consistency and potency of the NL#5xHaze. So the Greenhouse breeders
crossed it with a Super Skunk to give it more stability and up the ante on potency. Plus, I'm sure they needed
something "new" to enter in the Cup.
The difference between Jack Herer and Super Silver Haze is the NL#5 is the male in the original cross of SSH,
while Haze is the male in Jack's original cross. From what I can recall reading Jack has a tendency to show a bit
of favoritism towards it's tall, lanky Haze father. The SSH leans more towards an Indica growth pattern due to
the NL#5 daddy.” -Geronimo
“I just harvested the second SSH female. and am impressed it has a strong SK#1 taste and stone, lots of resin
.sticky as g13 ....and good yielder mine went 70-80 days.” –la.bud
