London Haze
Haze × Amnesia Haze (potential) × Super Silver Haze (potential)
London Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid recognized for its energetic effects and bright, citrus-herbal profile, popular in the UK market. It is associated with the classic Haze family, offering a modern potency with a cerebral lift.
Appearance
Plants typically grow medium-tall to tall, with significant space between nodes and narrow, compound leaves. During flowering, expect substantial vertical growth, potentially tripling in height. The buds are elongated, often featuring lime to deep green coloration, abundant fiery orange pistils, and a generous coating of trichomes that give them a crystalline appearance.
Dried flowers are generally medium density for a sativa-leaning strain, with pointed calyxes and fine sugar leaves. Properly cured buds should grind into a fluffy consistency, releasing a sharp aroma.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a prominent citrus zest, sweet herbs, and a crisp pine note, often led by terpinolene and limonene. Supporting scents can include fresh basil, green apple, and a subtle peppery undertone. When broken apart, the aroma can evoke lemon-lime soda or juniper, with hints of incense.
On the palate, London Haze typically presents bright lemon-lime and sweet herbal flavors, followed by pine and a mild peppery spice. The finish often includes a lingering citrus pith and herbal note. Vaporization at moderate temperatures is noted to preserve its complex floral-citrus character.
Effects
London Haze is known for providing a fast-acting cerebral lift and energetic experience, making it suitable for daytime use. Consumers report enhanced clarity, creativity, and social engagement.
Due to its potent, stimulating nature, users sensitive to THC or prone to anxiety are advised to exercise caution. The energetic effects make it a choice for those seeking a lively boost.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The cannabinoid profile typically features THC levels ranging from 18% to 26%, with CBD content usually below 0.5%. Well-grown batches may also possess a lively terpene profile, often contributing to the perceived potency and overall sensory experience.
Prominent terpenes reported include terpinolene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, pinene, myrcene, humulene, linalool, ocimene, and nerolidol. These contribute to the strain's distinctive aroma and flavor characteristics.
Growing
London Haze requires a longer-than-average flowering period, a trait common in Haze genetics. Cultivation notes suggest it performs well indoors or in greenhouses and can exhibit rapid vertical growth. Training may be necessary to manage its height.
The strain can be sensitive to environmental factors, with potential for foxtailing under high light intensity or warmer temperatures. Proper curing is essential to preserve its aromatic qualities and achieve optimal moisture content.
Origins & Lineage
London Haze is considered a sativa-leaning hybrid with strong ties to the Haze family, originating from classic Haze genetics. While precise breeder details are unclear, it is often linked to strains like Amnesia Haze or Super Silver Haze, both descended from Original Haze.
Some theories suggest potential influences from Skunk or Northern Lights genetics, which could contribute to improved structure and resin density. It is generally viewed as a collection of related Haze-dominant phenotypes adapted for cultivation and popular within the UK market.
