Guava Haze
Haze genetics × Guava-flavored cultivars
Guava Haze is a hybrid strain that merges the tropical fruit characteristics of modern "guava" cultivars with the energetic profile of classic Haze genetics. It is known for its complex aroma and flavor, often described as a fusion of sweet tropical fruits and incense.
Appearance
Guava Haze typically develops elongated, spear-shaped flowers, characteristic of sativa-leaning varieties. The buds are moderately dense, with abundant pistils in shades of tangerine to apricot. The bracts display a lime-to-emerald hue, and under optimal lighting, the flowers are coated in a dense layer of shimmering, silver-white trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Guava Haze is predominantly tropical, evoking ripe guava nectar, passionfruit, and hints of melon rind, layered with the clean, woody-citrus notes of Haze incense, reminiscent of lime zest. The flavor profile mirrors this, beginning with sweet tropical esters and floral accents on the inhale, transitioning to citrus zest and subtle incense on the mid-palate. The finish is often described as slightly creamy with a lingering candy-like sweetness.
Effects
Guava Haze is noted for providing a balanced experience, often associated with a calm and relaxed state. Users may experience uplifting and creative sensations, making it suitable for daytime use. Its effects are generally polished and modern, offering a departure from the sharper edges of some traditional Haze strains.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Guava Haze typically tests with THC levels ranging from 18-26%, with CBD content usually below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are also frequently detected. The terpene profile can vary, but common compounds include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Terpinolene, and Ocimene, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor nuances.
Growing
Specific growing details like difficulty, flowering time, yield, and optimal environment are not detailed in the source notes. However, the strain's Haze lineage suggests it may require a longer flowering period and careful attention to environmental conditions to achieve its full potential.
Origins & Lineage
Guava Haze is not a single fixed cross but rather a family of phenotypes originating from the fusion of classic West Coast Haze genetics with modern cultivars featuring a "guava" flavor profile. The Haze component traces back to Santa Cruz in the 1970s, while the "guava" aspect emerged in the 2010s. Common pairings involve Haze drivers like Super Silver Haze or Amnesia Haze with guava-flavored parents from dessert or Chem-related lines.
