After the 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup many started asking themselves what would be the new Sativa flavour of the coming year.
Many V.I.S that were invited to take part in the first edition of the famous Green House Smoking Panel,back in June 2005,expressed a clear preference:sweet sativas with fruity backgrounds and a clear high.
Amazingly enough,all who took part in the panel voted the same winner:Arjans Strawberry Haze!
Arjans Strawberry Haze is a very unique sativa,with a particlarly sweet smell and flavour,one that really reminds of sweet srawberries and summer fruits.
The high is clear,very uplifting,with a very powerful mental effect followed by a laugh phase,a true "positive energizer" that leaves you with a sweet fruity flavour in your mouth.
The aftertaste reminds of the more complex sativa flavours,like the rest of Arjans Haze family.It is a type of weed that complements social moments and lets everybody flow into a contagious happy mood.
The plant is not a very easy to grow one,but it does not require more attention than your average sativa,and the flowering time is in the 12wks range.The productivity of the Haze is somehow limited by its long sativa bud shape and by the long internodes,but the high quality of the strain guarantees high market prices and very satisfied growers.
The THC content is very high(around 20%) and the CBD and CBN are very low,allowing the effect a more cerebral side.At The Green House Seed Company we like to keep experimenting with our strains:we have tested the stawberry Haze in soil and hydro systems,with very good results in both.
Arjans strawberry Haze has long non overlapping leaflets typical of a real sativa,and long internodes that give the plant a stretchy attitude (it can get really tall if not pruned or bent).The plant grows long branches that tend to stretch out of the plant profile reaching for the light,creating a very pine like shaped plant.
The feeding soulutions for this sativa should not exceed EC 18,and the ph should be maintained at a 5.6-6.2 level,with a 6.0-6.2 range in the last 2-3 weeks of flowering.
This will maximise potassium intake and the smoke will be sweeter and smoother.Also very important for the taste is the flushing during the last 10 days of flowering PH 6.0.
Arjan created this new plant to give all sativa lovers the chance to grow a relatively fast sativa crop with a really new flavour.
Hope this has been of some interest!?
Thanks
