Mexican Haze Feminized Seeds

Mexican Haze is a sativa-dominant feminized hybrid, 80% sativa and 20% indica, bred from Acapulco Gold, Haze and Jack Herer, with citrus, earthy, pine and sweet notes. Dr. Blaze’s listing for its feminized Mexican Haze gives THC at 18 to 22%. It takes 9 to 11 weeks to flower, long like its Haze parent, so it suits a grower with some patience.

History & lineage

Mexican Haze is a three-way cross. Acapulco Gold takes its name from the landrace sativa traditionally grown in the Guerrero mountains outside Acapulco, Mexico. Haze is said to trace back to Santa Cruz, California, in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and Leafly notes its lengthy flowering cycle. Jack Herer, the third, is Sensi Seeds’ strain, generally accepted to combine Haze, Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1 lines.

Two of those parents have Cup records. Jack Herer, one of its parents, won the 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup as Sensi Seeds’ entry, and High Times lists it again as the 1999 Sativa Cup winner. Acapulco Gold, another, won the Sativa Cup at the 2010 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam (Amnesia Seeds’ entry). We also stock Jack Herer and Acapulco Gold.

Dr. Blaze’s feminized Mexican Haze is the one listed with this Acapulco Gold × Haze × Jack Herer lineage, and these seeds are listed with it too. Other breeders sell different plants under the Mexican Haze name, so the name alone doesn’t guarantee this cross.

Aroma & flavour

Expect citrus up front, with earthy, pine and sweet notes behind it; Dr. Blaze’s listing gives its aroma and flavour as sweet, citrus, earthy, pine and woody, with myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene as its terpenes. Leafly has no page for Mexican Haze, so there are no user flavour reports for it. Our guide to cannabis terpenes explains what those compounds add to a smell.

Effects, as users report them

Leafly has no user reports for Mexican Haze, so these are Leafly users’ reports for Jack Herer, one of the three strains in its cross, most common first; a three-way cross won’t always feel like any one parent. Dr. Blaze’s listing describes Mexican Haze’s own effects as creative, energetic, relaxing and uplifting. For Jack Herer, dry mouth and dry eyes are the downsides mentioned most, then paranoia, dizziness and anxiety. Effects vary with the person and the dose, and newer users especially should start with a small amount.

Growing Mexican Haze

Mexican Haze is a feminized photoperiod plant: it keeps growing leaves until the light drops to 12 hours a day indoors, or until the days shorten outdoors. Expect about 9 to 11 weeks of flowering, which is long, so check our seed-to-harvest timeline before you plan the run, and outdoors make sure it can finish before your first autumn frost.

It is rated an intermediate grow with a high yield, and its listing tags it as a tall plant, so plan for the stretch in early flower. Topping early and a SCROG net keep a tall sativa canopy even under the lights, and good airflow through the open bud sites helps in late flower. Judge when to harvest by the trichomes rather than the calendar.
