Apothecary
This Haze plant is a U.S. native, coming from East Coast
genetics that were passed along to the medical marijuana
breeders at Apothecary. It is a pure sativa, and as such is best
grown as an indoor or greenhouse plant, outside of the
equatorial zones.
Very Berry Hazes exhibit all of the stereotypical qualities of
the hazedominant sativas. They grow rapidly into jumbo plants,
shooting out a profuse number of long flexible branches with
many bud sites. Because of their tendencies, they are really
only suitable as multi-branch plants. They should be started in
flowering quickly in order to keep heights reasonable. Indoor
plants that are forced at 6-inch (15 cm) heights can finish about
10 weeks later at 4 feet (120 cm). They can finish outdoors by
the first of November in appropriate regions of California,
growing to 12 feet (4 m) when started at 8 inches (20 cm). Very
Berry’s foliage is a lush green with thin leaflets, and may be
prone to developing mold if attempted in colder climates, or if
the indoor room is kept at brisk temperatures. These plants are
most suitable for soil-based gardens.
Very Berry buds begin as little popcorn-ball formations that
elongate to create large buds by harvest. In a sunny outdoor
environment, Very Berry Haze can yield prodigiously, reaching
harvests up to 19 pounds. Indoor yields per plant depend on
gardening style, and can range between 1-8 ounces per plant.
The Very Berry Haze acquired her name for her delicious
flavor, which Apothecary compares to the more obscure
boysenberry. This berry, named after its breeder Rudolph
Boysen, combines the raspberry, blackberry and loganberry,
for a fruit that is more pungent and earthy than its relatives.
Fans of the berry will begin to smell the edge of fruit as these
plants reach maturity, and will find a jammy-sweet, robust
boysenberry taste to the finished product. The high is the
soaring, awake and mentally refreshing influence of the haze
sativa. It’s a bliss-out for beach or mountain solitudes, or
something to be shared with a sweetheart when you want to
just kick back together and reflect with gratitude on the
mysteries of being alive.
