Citric Haze by Mandragoraa S Seed Bank
Citric Haze, developed by Mandragora's Seed Bank, is a sativa-dominant strain celebrated for its vibrant citrus notes and uplifting effects. It emerged from a breeding focus on combining tangy flavors with the clear-headed stimulation characteristic of sativa genetics.
Appearance
Citric Haze presents visually striking, dense buds with a bright green coloration, often highlighted by vibrant orange pistils. Microscopic examination reveals abundant, crystalline trichomes covering the buds, indicating significant resin production and potency. The bud structure is dense yet airy, a common trait reflecting its sativa lineage, and is typically medium to large in size.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Citric Haze is dominated by a strong, invigorating citrus scent, reminiscent of freshly squeezed lemons and limes. Beneath the initial citrus burst, subtle notes of pine and floral undertones can be detected, creating a complex aromatic profile. Upon tasting, the strain delivers a bright, tangy citrus flavor, primarily lemon zest, with hints of lime and orange. This is followed by a smooth transition to subtle earthy sweetness on the palate.
Effects
Citric Haze is known for providing a clear-headed, energetic, and uplifting experience, consistent with its sativa heritage. Users often report feeling more creative and focused, with a sense of euphoria accompanying the cerebral stimulation. This makes it a suitable choice for social engagement or activities requiring mental clarity and a positive mood.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC concentrations ranging from 18% to 24%, with low CBD levels generally below 0.5%. The terpene profile is rich in limonene, contributing significantly to its citrus aroma and flavor, alongside myrcene and caryophyllene. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are present at trace amounts.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Mandragora's Seed Bank, Citric Haze was bred during a period focused on enhancing sativa genetics for both flavor and effect. It is primarily sativa, believed to be around 70-80% sativa landrace genetics, carefully selected to amplify citrus notes and cerebral stimulation. The breeding process involved meticulous selection and back-crossing to ensure consistency in its hallmark traits.
