Flying Dutchmen
The Titans in Greek mythology were the powerful elder deities
that ruled during the Golden Age. Most Titans were associated
with primal elements—the ocean, earth, sun, and moon. Long
after their reign, they left their mark on the world through
their continued presence in the most basic and primitive
aspects of the world’s composition. Titan’s Haze is a variety
that unearths and carries forward certain elder deities from the
marijuana kingdom’s golden age.
The Original Haze genetics in this cross are a direct
descendant of the Haze Brothers California creation in the
1980s, a blend of Mexican, Colombian, Thai, and south Indian
strains that has a distinct connoisseur flavor and high often
sought after and frequently hybridized into contemporary
strains. The Flying Dutchmen’s Skunk #1 (the Pure) strain is
the unadulterated progeny of the 1970s California Skunk #1. A
hybrid of Columbian, Mexican, and Afghan landrace strains,
the Skunk #1 is a sweet smelling plant that has balanced
growth for a sativa-dominant plant. Titan’s sister plant from
Flying Dutchmen, the Fuma con Diablos, reverses the cross
with a Skunk #1 mother and an Original Haze father.
Titan’s Haze was created in a greenhouse and is best suited
for indoor or greenhouse cultivation in soil, but can be grown
outdoors in long-season equatorial climates such as Spain and
southern California. Novice growers who long for sativa stash
should not shy away from this versatile Haze. She can be
grown in small personal gardens or in a sea of green with little
or no previous experience. Flying Dutchmen recommends
limited vegetative time and 20 plants per square meter in a sea
of green setup. The Titan’s Haze growth pattern is slender with
a typical haze structure—wide, evenly distributed nodal
spacing on moderate, graceful branches. The light green
calyxes turn golden toward harvest and build to form swollen
teardrop-shaped colas that outweigh many commonly grown
haze varieties, with possible outdoor yields of over a kilo per
plant in their homeland equatorial climate. These plants are
good in high humidity or dry climates and have proven
resistant to pests and molds.
When entering a room in which the Titan’s Haze has been
smoked, the fragrant yet slightly acrid grassy smell will make
mouths water with hopes for the impending high. The taste is
less sweet than many hybrids, a return to an old-school haze
profile. Titan’s Haze brings back the legendary cerebral rush
that sativa connoisseurs crave. The buzz soars with mildly
trippy effects on heavier use, and a stimulating, creative
impulse that endears it to artists and musicians. This is
accompanied by a hint of Afghani body hit. Its powerful buzz is
energizing and good for ADHD, but it may bring out a manic
tendency in a naturally hyperactive person. Use caution when
mixing pleasures—combined with alcoholic beverages, the
potency may become unpleasant. Occasional users should show
restraint to maximize enjoyment. More experienced sativa fans
will delight in the ecstatic, clean, enduring high from this haze
Titan.
