Green House Seed Company
Green House Seed Company caters to the haze fan with several
strains in this family. Arjan’s Haze #1 is a strong sativa with
medium-size internodes, a combination of G-13 and Neville’s
Haze. Hazes tend to be a bit leggy, because they branch
rapidly, forming a lanky pine tree shape. Arjan’s Haze #1 is in
the middle of the haze spectrum and can be kept short by
pruning and splitting. The stems are very flexible during
vegetative growth, allowing for easy bending and training.
Ideally this plant is grown with two plants per square yard
(meter2).
The best yields for this variety come from hydro systems, but
growing in soil will give a smoother taste and a more natural
high. It can be grown with sufficient indoor space, or outside in
Mediterranean, temperate and subtropical regions. Arjan’s
Haze #1 has a very fast metabolism and absorbs more feedings
than the average sativa. Green House recommends starting
with a low pH (5.5 hydro/ 5.7 soil) and slowly increasing to 6.3
at the end of flowering. Maximum EC levels should be 2.1 in
hydro and 1.9 in soil. Plants should be flushed in the final
stages of flowering.
As haze cultivators know, these special sativas require longer
grow times. Arjan’s Haze #1 ripens in an average 11 weeks, or
late October/early November in the northern hemisphere.
When planted in 5-gallon (20-liter) containers, this plant will
reach a leggy 8-9 feet (250-270 cm) at harvest. In smaller, 2-
gallon (7.5-liter) containers, height can be limited to 4-5 feet
(120-150 cm) at maturity. When root development is not
limited and ideal conditions are met, this plant can easily reach
over 10 feet (3 m).
This dark oily green plant has large leaves and huge buds
that are quite compact and dense for a sativa, with an irregular
shape due to calyx development, and short thick hairs. Its
intense sativa aromas – reminding one of moss, forest, and
musk – are a natural deterrant to pests. The smoke has a
background of incense and hard wood, with hints of mint and
pepper in flavor. Its strong high creeps up slowly and steadily,
reaching a very long peak. It is an uplifting and clearheaded
sensation that is ideal for social activities.
