Haoma
The Purps × GG1 (Afghani)
Haoma is an indica-leaning hybrid developed by House of the Great Gardener, intended for medical users seeking balanced relaxation and predictable effects. It is recognized for its pleasant aroma and approachable potency, often testing in the low 20s for THC.
Appearance
Haoma plants exhibit a compact, indica-dominant structure with dense foliage and short internodes, forming bushy canopies that respond well to training. The buds are typically chunky and conical, developing significant calyx swell and a frosty trichome coating. Phenotypes may display lavender to deep plum hues during late flowering, especially under cooler nighttime temperatures, enhancing their visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Haoma is characterized by a prominent grape and berry scent, complemented by sweet floral notes and an underlying earthy, hash-like undertone. When ground, it releases additional nuances of violet and spice. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering sweet grape and mixed berry notes on the inhale, with herbal and earthy hash characteristics on the exhale, sometimes accompanied by a mild peppery finish.
Effects
Haoma is generally described as providing balanced relaxation without being overly sedating, offering a gentle mental uplift and a sense of full-body ease. At moderate doses, it is considered calm but not couch-locking, making it suitable for users seeking relief from stress. Its predictable effects make it a reliable choice for both recreational and medicinal consumers.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Dominant terpenes commonly found in Haoma include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene, contributing to its sweet, fruity, and earthy scent profile. Secondary terpenes like Linalool, Ocimene, and Humulene can add floral and herbal accents. Standard Haoma typically tests between 21-22% THC with negligible CBD levels (less than 1%).
Growing
Haoma is known for its grower-friendly characteristics, including a relatively fast flowering time, often finishing within 7-8 weeks. It possesses a sturdy indica morphology and produces dense, resinous flowers. Its predictable growth pattern and moderate phenotypic variation make it a reliable choice for cultivators seeking high-quality results.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by the Canadian collective House of the Great Gardener (HOTGG), Haoma is a cross between The Purps (also known as Mendo Purps) and GG1, an Afghani line stabilized by HOTGG. This lineage combines the berry-grape qualities and euphoric potential of The Purps with the robust structure and resin production of the Afghani genetics, aiming for stability and therapeutic benefit.
