Antenna Colombian Purple Haze by Antenna Seeds
Haze × Colombian Landrace
Antenna Colombian Purple Haze by Antenna Seeds is a predominantly sativa cultivar celebrated for its classic Haze structure and uplifting cerebral qualities. It combines Colombian landrace genetics with a phenotype that can exhibit striking purple coloration, offering a refined expression of traditional Haze.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically presents a classic sativa structure with elongated branches and significant stretch during flowering. It develops tall, spear-like colas with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, often showing resinous trichomes. Under optimal conditions, particularly cooler night temperatures late in bloom, the plant can display deep violet hues in its calyx tips and sugar leaves.
Buds are generally medium-firm, with narrow, serrated leaves. The appearance is enhanced by contrasting orange or rust-colored pistils against violet bracts, all covered in a frosty layer of trichomes, contributing to high visual appeal.
Aroma and Flavor
Antenna Colombian Purple Haze offers a complex aroma profile dominated by incense, citrus zest, and herbal spice notes. Terpinolene and pinene contribute cypress and pine undertones, while Colombian influence adds hints of sweet hay and sandalwood. Some phenotypes may also present subtle floral notes like lavender or violet candy.
The flavor follows suit with bright initial tastes of lemon peel, sweet lime, and pine needle, transitioning into incense, cedar, and spiced herb. The finish is long and resinous, with lingering sandalwood. Vaporization can accentuate floral and evergreen notes, while combustion highlights woody incense and citrus contrasts.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is known for providing energetic and cerebral effects, aligning with the classic uplifting profile of 1970s West Coast Haze. It is favored for its ability to offer daytime functionality and a clear mental lift.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific lab results vary, Haze-dominant sativas like Antenna Colombian Purple Haze commonly test within the 15-25% THC range. CBD content is typically less than 1%. The terpene profile often includes terpinolene, pinene, and ocimene, contributing to its characteristic incense and pine notes. Other terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool may also be present, influencing the overall aroma and potential effects.
Growing Information
This cultivar is a mostly sativa with a long flowering cycle, typically requiring 11 to 13 weeks to mature. It exhibits significant stretch after the light cycle flip and grows tall, demanding adequate vertical space. Growers should anticipate a marathon flowering period that rewards patience with resin-laced colas.
The plant benefits from good airflow and controlled environments. Cooler night temperatures during the late flowering stage can encourage the expression of its purple phenotype. Attention to nutrition and training can optimize bud density and overall yield.
Origins and Lineage
Antenna Colombian Purple Haze, bred by Antenna Seeds, is a predominantly sativa cultivar that draws from classic Haze genetics and Colombian landrace characteristics. The strain is designed to appeal to those who appreciate traditional Haze architecture and uplifting effects.
Its name signifies a strong Colombian influence and a tendency towards purple coloration, which is often triggered by environmental factors like cooler temperatures.
