Lavender Haze
Lavender × Haze
Lavender Haze is a sativa-leaning hybrid recognized for combining the aromatic qualities of Lavender genetics with the stimulating effects of Haze. This cultivar is often sought for its balanced profile, offering an uplifting experience alongside a calming floral foundation.
Appearance
Lavender Haze buds typically present as medium-sized, tapered colas with a dense calyx structure and a frosted sheen from abundant trichomes. Purple hues are often visible, particularly in cooler late-flowering temperatures, contrasting with green foliage and orange pistils. The bud density is moderate, striking a balance between indica compactness and sativa looseness.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Lavender Haze is characterized by a prominent floral bouquet, often described as true lavender, complemented by sweet herbal and woody undertones. Secondary notes frequently include citrus zest, green mango, and a peppery finish. Upon breaking apart the bud, an incense-like fragrance may emerge.
Effects
Consumers frequently report that Lavender Haze provides a balanced experience, offering a cerebral lift and energetic qualities suitable for daytime use, while also delivering a sense of calm. It is often cited for promoting creativity and mental clarity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Dominant terpenes in Lavender Haze commonly include linalool, myrcene, and terpinolene, with limonene and beta-caryophyllene also frequently present. This terpene profile contributes to its distinct floral, citrus, and herbal notes. THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content generally below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Lavender Haze is generally understood to be a hybrid resulting from the crossbreeding of a Lavender-type plant with a Haze-type plant, or vice versa. This combination aims to integrate the floral, linalool-rich profile of Lavender with the cerebral and energetic characteristics of Haze. The specific Haze parentage can vary, potentially influencing nuances in the final phenotype.
Growing Information
Lavender Haze typically exhibits a sativa-dominant growth pattern, often reaching medium to tall heights with substantial stretch during early flowering. It may require support structures like trellising. Environmental controls are important to manage potential foxtailing in high-heat conditions. Flowering time is generally consistent with Haze-type genetics.
