Northern Lights 5 Haze

Northern Lights number five Haze is the Haze cross that half the Haze family descends from.

The name is the recipe: Northern Lights number five bred to Haze. It swept High Times Cups in 1990 and 1994, including Best Overall, and it is a parent to a long list of modern Haze hybrids. Its own modern review record is surprisingly thin.

Our effect data for this strain is limited to a single recurring word, uplifted, so the profile has to be read from its reputation. Sources describe a clear, soaring cerebral high with little body weight, in line with a near-pure Haze. There is no reviewer breakdown, no timing detail and only a dry-mouth note in the negatives data.

The best guide here is the strain's long track record; with a new batch, start at a normal dose and read it against a clear Haze reputation.

Northern Lights number five Haze is unusual for a Haze: earthy and pungent with a distinct coffee note and a sweet, spicy edge, rather than the citrus most Haze strains lead with. The coffee-and-spice character is the recognizable part. The flavor is earthy and sweet with the coffee carrying through.

This strain has no terpene panel in our data, only Humulene, Camphene and Caryophyllene as recurring names without amounts. The coffee note is distinctive and there is nothing measured to explain it.

Haze aroma degrades with age, and this is one of the oldest Haze lines around, so cuts vary. A fresh, complex, coffee-tinged nose is the sign of a well-kept one.

Northern Lights number five Haze THC is reported around 17 to 22 percent, with the lab-measured sample near 19, so the figures agree on a strong strain. CBD is absent.

Expect a strain around 19 percent and confirm with the batch's own test.
