The original Haze by Flying Dutchmen
Let's get one thing straight right out of the gate: most of the "Haze" being passed around today is watered-down commercial garbage. But The original Haze from The Flying Dutchmen? That's the real deal, direct lineage to the pure sativa magic the Haze Brothers were cooking up in Santa Cruz back in the 70s. Sam the Skunkman brought those foundational seeds—a wild genetic soup of Mexican, Colombian, South Indian, and Thai landraces—over to Holland. Eddy at Flying Dutchmen worked those exact lines, giving us one of the only true, untainted representations of vintage Haze that didn't get muddied up by Skunk or Northern Lights.
Growing this plant is an absolute test of patience and skill. You aren't throwing this in a commercial facility expecting a quick cash crop. She is lanky, stretches like a monster, and will easily demand 14 to 18 weeks of flowering time before she's ready to chop. The yields are notoriously low, and the buds are wispy and airy, but that's exactly how a pure tropical sativa is supposed to structure itself. Real heads know that you aren't growing this for the bag appeal; you're growing it for the resin that smells intensely of spicy church incense, sandalwood, and old leather.
When you finally get to cure and smoke a well-grown Flying Dutchmen Haze, it's a religious experience. The high is electric, borderline psychedelic, and completely devoid of any physical ceiling. It's pure, soaring, creative energy. Breeders have used this exact Flying Dutchmen stock as the genetic backbone for almost every decent Haze hybrid in Europe. If you have the headroom and the patience to run her, you're growing a literal piece of cannabis history.

Growing The original Haze: what to expect
As a sativa-leaning plant, plan for a big stretch after the flip (often 100–200%) — flip earlier than feels natural and keep training options ready. Sativa-leaning plants also generally prefer a lighter feed than heavy indicas. Growers familiar with Original Haze will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
