Early Haze by Mr. Nice

Early Haze seeds: a Haze that finishes early

Early Haze is a strain from Mr. Nice that combines Early Queen with Afghan Haze. Its seeds are regular (not feminized: each seed can turn out male or female, roughly 50% each). Mr. Nice explains that, thanks to its early-finishing side, this plant has had a big influence on practical Haze hybrids, the ones that give you Haze character without endless cycles. At oaseeds we like it because it is a strain for selecting: every grower can look among their plants for the mother (the female plant you keep to take cuttings from) that best matches what they want, whether that is speed or flavour.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Early Haze

The breeder highlights a unique scent and flavour. According to Mr. Nice, the most particular flavour comes from the Early Queen side, and you find it in some phenotypes (the different variants that come out of the same batch of seeds) with careful selection. Those special-flavour phenotypes are also the ones that take longest to finish.

Mr. Nice does not describe the effect in detail. What it does make clear is that this is a hybrid with good qualities in every trait a plant is usually chosen for, which is why so many growers give it a try.

How to grow Early Haze indoors and outdoors

According to the breeder, it is a very easy and rewarding plant for any growing style and any medium, soil or hydroponics (growing without soil, with the roots in nutrient-rich water), without compromise. The earliest phenotypes complete flowering (the phase when the plant builds its buds) in 8 or 9 weeks, while the most distinctive flavour phenotypes need 11 weeks.

Mr. Nice sets a benchmark yield of 400 to 600 g/m² indoors, and warns that it may surprise you if the plant likes its setup. Outdoors and in a greenhouse, the harvest is above average, according to the breeder.

Because it is regular, the first tip is to sow several seeds and remove the males as soon as they show their flowers, before they release pollen. The second: if you want the most particular flavour, keep the females that take longer to finish.
