Everglade Haze
Haze × Florida OG
Everglade Haze is a hybrid strain that combines the cerebral invigoration of the Haze family with grounding, earthy notes reminiscent of Florida's Everglades. It is known for delivering a clear-headed uplift balanced by a steadying physical ease, making it suitable for daytime use.
Appearance
Everglade Haze plants typically grow to a medium-tall height with significant stretching post-flip. They develop long, tapered buds with dense calyxes that may show mild fox-tailing. The flowers are covered in a heavy layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance, and mature pistils range from orange to rust-brown.
The leaves are a lighter lime-to-olive green, characteristic of sativa genetics, and the buds themselves are medium in density, with a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies trimming.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Everglade Haze is complex, featuring bright citrus peel and pine resin, layered with spicy Haze notes. Underlying this are scents of black pepper, eucalyptus, and a damp earth undertone. Subtle fuel and skunk facets may emerge when the buds are handled.
Upon consumption, flavors of lime zest and grapefruit are prominent, followed by pine and herbal spice. The experience is rounded out by mid-palate notes of pepper and clove, with an earthy, diesel-like finish and a clean, resinous aftertaste.
Effects
Everglade Haze is reported to provide a slow-building onset of effects, characterized by a clear-headed lift that promotes creativity and happiness. It avoids the intense racy edge sometimes associated with pure Haze strains.
The cerebral stimulation is complemented by a steadying physical ease, offering a balanced experience that is both energetic and calming, making it a suitable choice for daytime activities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically exhibits THC levels between 20-26% and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is often noted for Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Terpinolene, contributing to its distinct aroma and effects.
Growing
Everglade Haze is generally considered a sativa-leaning hybrid, often requiring moderate to high stretch management during indoor cultivation. Plants can reach heights of 120-180 cm. The buds form long, spear-shaped colas with heavy trichome coverage.
Breeders often focus on vigor, mold resistance, and terpene persistence, especially in humid or subtropical climates. Flowering times are typically shorter than pure Haze varieties due to the indica influence.
Origins & Lineage
Everglade Haze is a contemporary hybrid that draws inspiration from the classic Haze family and OG genetics, particularly those originating from Florida. It is conceptualized as a Haze-dominant strain crossed with an OG-influenced counterpart, aiming to retain the uplifting Haze effects while adding a calming, earthy base.
The naming reflects a blend of the cerebral energy of Haze and the grounded, swampy-earth characteristics associated with Florida's Everglades region and its local OG genetics, creating a unique regional flavor profile.
