Terpenes and Cannabinoids
New Caledonia 4 Haze is a THC-dominant strain, with reported levels typically ranging from 16-24%, and CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is complex, influenced by both its Haze genetics and Pacific island landrace contributions. Dominant terpenes may include terpinolene, ocimene, and pinene, complemented by limonene and caryophyllene, contributing to its distinct citrus, floral, and minty-pine notes. Total terpene content can reach significant levels under optimal growing conditions.
Growing
Cultivating New Caledonia 4 Haze is recommended for experienced growers due to its long-cycle nature and sativa heritage, which often requires precise environmental control. Growers can anticipate notable plant stretch and should be prepared for longer flowering periods compared to indica-dominant hybrids. The plant structure favors airflow, with relatively airy, high-surface-area flower clusters, and responds well to advanced training techniques like Screen of Green (ScrOG).
Origins and Lineage
New Caledonia 4 Haze was developed by Maha Kala Seeds, a breeder specializing in landrace genetics and long-flowering sativa varieties. This specific cultivar is a selected phenotype from a New Caledonian landrace line, potentially crossed with a Haze-leaning parent. The lineage combines the tropical influences of the Pacific island with the classic sativa architecture and effects associated with traditional Haze strains, which historically draw from Colombian, Thai, and Mexican genetics.
