# Haze
Haze is a foundational sativa-leaning line associated with 1960s1970s California breeding that combined tropical and equatorial material. The original Haze brothers' work is usually told as a multi-landrace project rather than a two-parent hybrid with a barcode. Parents are therefore partly Unknown even when teaching models name regions. That honesty is part of good lineage education: Haze is a historical category with famous descendants, not a QR-coded pedigree for every jar labeled Haze.
Common educational accounts cite [Thai](/strain/thai), Colombian, Mexican, and South Indian influences. Exact proportions and surviving seed lots are historical reconstructions. Later European work—Neville's Haze and related projects—carried the name into Dutch seed catalogs and global clone trade, where Super Silver Haze and related hybrids kept the brand commercially alive.
Why Haze mattered: it defined a long-flowering, incense-citrus-spice aromatic category that contrasted with broadleaf mountain lines. Almost every Haze hybrid on modern menus borrows that cultural signal even when the genetic distance is large. Consumers still use Haze as shorthand for citrus-incense character beside Cookies dessert and Chem gas lanes.
Live Haze-family members and famous hybrids on this site include [Super Lemon Haze](/strain/super-lemon-haze), [Amnesia Haze](/strain/amnesia-haze), and Haze-influenced [Jack Herer](/strain/jack-herer). [Blue Dream](/strain/blue-dream) is commonly discussed as Blueberry × Haze and sits in the wider Haze conversation. Records conflict on which Haze cut sits behind each commercial remake; check each strain page.
Terpene names often linked to Haze-leaning aromas include [Terpinolene](/terpene/Terpinolene), [Myrcene](/terpene/Myrcene), [Pinene](/terpene/Pinene), [Ocimene](/terpene/Ocimene), and [Limonene](/terpene/Limonene).
