Haze is, probably, the most grown and renowned 100% sativa hybrid throughout the world. Its origins date back to the early 1970’s in the region of Santa Cruz, California (USA).During this time, two brothers known as the “Haze Brothers” (R. Haze and J. Haze) cultivated and crossed different cannabis lines using seeds of the best imported sativa strains, most times offered by their friend and neighbor Sam “The Skunkman”.It all began with a hybrid between a landrace sativa from Mexico and another landrace from Colombia. One year later, the best females selected from this hybrid were crossed with a landrace strain from southern India. Finally, the female offspring of this new hybrid was crossed again with a landrace male from Thailand.
Thus, Haze is a 100% Sativa hybrid of cannabis plants from Mexico, Colombia, India and Thailand. At first, the Haze wasn?t very stable and showed many different phenotypes. The most known was the famous “
Purple Haze“, a pheno with Colombian dominance. Purple Haze became the most powerful and beautiful Haze strain on the market, but at the same time it also became the most expensive one.Sam ?The Skunkman? took some of the seeds from the Haze Brothers to the Netherlands in 1976, being among them the Original Haze. At the beginning of the 80?s he crossed the Atlantic and finally moved to the Netherlands, where he sold his seeds under the label of Cultivator’s Choice.
The Haze has a strong aroma of spices with light incensed and sandalwood undertones and a citric aftertaste provided by the genetics from Thailand. It induces a powerful, uplifting and psychedelic effect, incredibly clear, energizing and very long lasting.Being a 100% Sativa strain, it was difficult to grow indoors. The flowering period was very long (more than 16 weeks) and plants grew too vigorously, soon reaching a considerable size difficult to handle in indoor grow rooms. The Haze was then crossed with Indica strains to adapt it to indoor environments. Sam The Skunkman developed several hybrids, as for example Haze/Skunk or Indian Haze, which can be found in SeedsMan’s catalogue.A young Australian-dutch called Neville Schoenmakers (at that time owner of the shop “The Seed Bank”, today known as Sensi Seeds Bank) recovered some seeds of a pure Haze. He selected two excellent male plants and called them “A” and “C”, and also a female named “B”. Then, he also developed several crosses with some Indica strains, thus creating new Haze hybrids that had an immediate success on the market.

But as you say, same genes.
