Northern Lights #5 x Haze reviews

Amazingly unique smooth taste and very clear headed uplifting effects, found it functional for the day. No drowsy feelings or sleepiness with this one, being that it's actually a bit energetic. While energetic it did not induce any sort of racy feelings that can sometimes produce anxiety. One of the best sativa dominant strains for producing true sativa effects.

La planta crece alta, bonita y muy ramificada. Con ramas fuertes. Aguanta bien la ec. Es una bestia de producir cogollos, de tamaños enormes y pesados y pegajosos con un olor entre naranja y aguarras..el rendimiento es de 10. El sabor es muy bueno con sabor a incienso, cascara de naranja, ácido. Una subida muy muy sativa!! Cerebral, te agarra y no te suelta en muchas horas! Es una fumada de las de larga duracion, muy social y divertida. Despues de 2 años sigue oliendo como el primer dia. Una de mis favoritas!. 😁😁🌺❤️

Got it from SQDC in Montreal at 46$ 3.5gr. I was in awe when I opened the lid.. incredible looking buds 😍 I just blazed one and the high is really good for daytime. Smoke one

Had this for the very first time today... Gravlabs/ice water/ash chamber. Small to medium bowl. I use wind proof torches for precision and high heat. This method gave me 3 big, smooth, flavorful hits that turned my slide hazy yellow/green after. Great for day time focus and mood elevation. Distinct flavor but not unpleasant. Works on pain. Had a cross-bowl w/Amnesia CBD for an intense psychoactive high. Brings out creativity and kicks ADHD in the nuts. Extremely powerful and versatile medicine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

NL5 X Haze gave me a very long lasting high, with a pretty strong couch-lock. I recommend to smoke this strain in the night.

Wait isn’t this just jack herrer though?

By no means is NL5/HAZE a new strain. Perhaps new to leafly, but this cross, first made in 1989 by Australian expat & Amsterdam resident Nevil Schoenmakers, when he crossed Northern Lights #5 x his Haze A male. He’d spent much of 1985-1989 refining O Haze, breeding out the garbage genetics and concentrating the best genetics into two very different but equally excellent males which he named Haze A & Haze C. His Haze B project wasn’t working out as expected & was abandoned. Original Haze was bred by The Haze Brothers in Santa Cruz, CA in 1969. History remembers them by that name, but neither of them were expert breeders, nor were they particularly knowledgeable cannabis breeders in general & the O Haze, their cross of three excellent phenotypes of pure Colombian Sativas, while legendary, was an F1 cross and wasn’t worked at all. It produced amazing plants maybe 15%-20% of the time, decent to pretty excellent plants 25%-35% of the time, & garbage plants most of the time. Unfortunately it still took 20-24 weeks to flower, being an equatorial sativa. Usually called The Cough, at least two epic plants were found in S1 seeds of Nevil’s cross. NYC Uptown Haze aka Bronx Golden Haze aka Cuban Black Haze aka The Church aka Frankie (from its intense frankincense terpenes), but is usually just call Piff. Yes, that is where Piff originally comes from. Karma’s A5 Haze was also hunted from S1 seeds of Nevil’s cross. Sensi Seeds went on to remake the cross, & it’s most usually regarded as one of their strains. But Nevil’s version was used in several Mr. Nice crosses including Super Silver Haze, Mango Haze, G13 Haze, Skunk Haze, Afghan Haze, Haze AC, & it was potentially used in Jack Herer as well, although it’s possible Jack Herer used the Haze C male in both its mother, crossed with Northern Lights #5, as well as its father, which was definitely Skunk #1 x Haze C. Shiva Skunk was not used to breed Jack Herer. Despite misinformation that persists to this day. NL5/HAZE, usually known as Cough, is sometimes descended from Nevil’s original cross, but the Sensi Seeds version is much more common. Other breeders attempted this proven holy grail cross as well. Whatever version you smoke, it’s some of the best herb that was ever bred. Certainly the rare phenos of Nevil’s version, Cuban Black Haze / The Piff & Karma’s A5 Haze, have both more than earned their legendary status, but the more common variety is amazing as well. It’s one of the headiest smokes out there, & I don’t recommend it for amateurs or those who get anxiety from sativas. Most sativas are actually anti-anxiety & have euphoric effects that also fight depression, ADHD, & general bad moods. But smoke just a bit too much without the constitution for them and the high they provide (vs. the stoned effect of more indica dominant hybrids) is one of the most amazing feelings there is. But go easy. This one has long been known for its intense high. Even in mid-range THC versions. It’s potent regardless of its potency on paper. But THC % really isn’t as important as the industry has tried to make everyone believe. Nor is it representative of the actual “potency” of most cannabis. I’ve had 33% THC herb that didn’t hit me anywhere near as hard as a 23% landrace Acapulco Gold (one of the landrace cannabis varieties with the highest natural THC levels, mostly thanks to the hot and humid natural climate where the landrace acclimated).
