As well as offering a ‘one for the books' kind of cerebral high, it's also absolutely mouthwatering in the flavor department. Tokers are bound to drool with just a quick whiff of its pungent buds. Tasting as lovely as it smells, it has a citrus tang with a spicy kick – it gives the palate the ultimate treat.

Growing Haze XL from Autoflower Seeds

Easy to grow and with a high yield, this strain can make a novice grower look like a pro. It's a hardy and resilient medium-sized plant that's naturally resistant to pests, so it does not need constant monitoring. It's most attractive feature, though, is its incredibly fast growth.

As it grows, you'll notice beautiful green leaves with huge buds that are generously coated in thick crystal trichomes. As a testament to the plant's potency, its nugs have a sticky texture that makes them heavenly to smoke.

Indoors, a combination of the Sea of Green technique with a hydroponic medium promotes a top- quality crop. It blooms for 10 weeks before sharing a bountiful yield of 1.31 to 1.47 ounces per square foot.

A lover of warm and sunny climates, Autoflower Haze XL dances with joy when planted in the arms of Mother Nature, offering a yield between 3.5 and 7 ounces per plant. In northern areas, growers can harvest from early April until late October.

Expert growers suggest adding a few compounds to help the plant flourish to its full potential. Putting 30% coco coir into the substrate significantly helps with aeration, and frequent watering is also essential.

Fragrance and Flavor

Like other Haze strains, the plant has a distinct and recognizable aroma. The moment the bud is lit, it releases an intense aroma of incense, pine and exotic wood. As the smoke starts to dissipate, it leaves a subtle lemon hint.

Each puff will take you on a flavorful journey. The moment the smoke touches the tongue, an earthy spice flavor dances on the taste buds. On exhale, it leaves a strong lemon-citrus tang that lingers for a good while.

Effects

An excellent daytime strain, Autoflower Haze XL works best as an early morning booster. Along with the euphoric high, it promotes mental clarity and increases creativity. Many tokers choose to consume this variety while prepping for work. Potent and fast-acting, its effects will kick in even quicker than a cup of strong coffee.

Under its influence, users also feel a strong desire to chat and socialize, and this is often accompanied by fits of giggles. Adding vibrancy to monotonous tasks, it helps lighten the mood in the workplace while keeping you productive.

There's also a pinch of Indica that helps keep things grounded. Although it's not brimming with this calming compound, it does contain just enough to placate an energy-bunny. Under this herb's influence, you can take full advantage of the active yet calm mindset.

The plant has already gained an excellent reputation, and with good reason. An Amsterdam coffeeshop favorite, it leaves tokers bursting with laughter and turns introverts into storytellers after just a single puff. You can share the long-lasting cerebral high with friends, or use it to become the employee of the month. Whatever you decide to do, if you're in need of an uplifting and vigorous boost, this is the herb to try.

Despite its awesomeness, the strain also has some potentially adverse effects. As with other marijuana varieties, it can cause dry eyes and cottonmouth. Drinking enough water before, during and after a session is well advised. Keeping an OTC eye lubricant to hand will help ease the discomfort and irritation of parched peepers.

First-timers may also become overwhelmed by the strain's potent THC content. Should this happen, it could lead to dizziness, paranoia or anxiety. To avoid these issues, go easy with dose – one toke is enough for the less experienced, while two is sure to please veterans. Note that THC-sensitive users should consider switching to a less potent strain.

Medical

All organic and with minimal side effects, marijuana is paving the way for advances in the medical field. As well as being used for recreation, Autoflower Haze XL is also said to hold a number of medical benefits. The strain is sought after by practitioners and patients alike.

Being a Sativa-dominant strain, it's usually consumed by patients with psychological concerns. Auto Haze XL's happy high may help eliminate negative thoughts and emotions caused by the likes of depression, anxiety and stress. Its energy-boosting feature may also help people slowed down by fatigue.

It's also said to be an effective pain reliever. It may soothe the discomfort of chronic conditions and lessen inflammation. Those struggling with arthritis and muscle spasms have turned to this plant for relief.

Cancer patients going through chemotherapy have also used cannabis. This strain's munchie-inducing tendency may help fight off nausea and vomiting, two common side effects of the treatment.
