Violet Haze by East Coast Seeds
Haze × Sativa
Violet Haze is a sativa-dominant strain developed by East Coast Seeds, building upon the legacy of classic Haze genetics. It is known for its visually striking appearance and a complex sensory profile that combines floral, citrus, and earthy notes.
Appearance
Violet Haze buds are visually distinctive, often displaying deep violet and vibrant green coloration. They are typically densely packed and covered in abundant trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The flowers are adorned with pistils that can range from orange to red, and their elongated, conical shape is characteristic of sativa varieties, allowing for good light penetration.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Violet Haze is a complex blend featuring floral and citrus top notes, with underlying earthy and spicy undertones. This intricate scent profile is partly attributed to terpenes like terpinolene. The flavor mirrors the aroma, offering an initial sweetness and spice, followed by bright citrus and earthy notes, with subtle hints of vanilla.
Effects
This sativa-dominant strain is reported to provide cerebral, energetic, and euphoric effects. Users often experience a boost in creativity, making it a popular choice for those seeking uplifting mental stimulation. The experience is generally characterized by its uplifting and invigorating qualities.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Violet Haze contains approximately 18% THC and less than 1% CBD. While specific terpene profiles can vary, common terpenes identified include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene. These compounds contribute to the strain's distinct aroma, flavor, and effects.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by East Coast Seeds, Violet Haze is an evolution of classic Haze strains, known for their sativa heritage. The breeding process focused on enhancing the robust growth patterns and terpene profiles characteristic of Haze varieties. While specific parent strains are not definitively listed, it is understood to be a sativa-dominant hybrid with a strong Haze influence, potentially incorporating genetics from strains like Purple Haze and Vanilla Tart.
Growing
The genetic makeup of Violet Haze, with its strong sativa and Haze influence, suggests robust growth patterns and resilience to pests and diseases. Its structure, characterized by tall stature and narrow leaves, is typical of classic sativas. The strain is noted for its enhanced terpene profiles, which are often maximized through careful cultivation timing during peak trichome production.
