C13 Haze

Sativa-dominant hybrid C13 Haze offers a focused high and a dank, complex flavor profile. Created by prolific breeders of DNA Genetics, this strain is a combination of fruity Cannalope Haze and the allegedly government-engineered G13. The result is a bud with all the pungency of its parents are mental effects that are tempered by some smooth, late-blooming relaxation. The THC content of C13 Haze has been measured at between 15% and 20%.

Flowers of C13 Haze are marked by a relatively small size and a shape that ranges from tapered and spade-shaped to elongated and cylindrical. The structure of these buds leans indica, with small leaves that curl tightly inward toward their central stems. The leaves themselves are a yellowish green and are twisted through with brown and orange pistils. Finally, amber-colored trichomes coat all inner and outer nooks and crannies of these dense flowers.

Aromatic C13 Haze gives off a first impression of rich coffee, with distinct notes of cocoa and berry. A second whiff reveals an underlying earthy musk. Grinding up these thick buds, meanwhile, releases a spicy, peppery kick. When burnt, C13 Haze gives off a harsh and acrid smoke that can tickle the sinuses and palate. On the exhale, this smoke offers a blend of fruity, piney, and earthy flavors.

Like many other mostly sativa strains, C13 Haze has a fast-acting high. Initial effects may manifest as increased blood pressure in the face; users may feel a sudden head rush, as well as some slight throbbing in the temples. As these sensations become more familiar, consumers begin to notice an uptick in their mental activity; certain thoughts and concepts might seem more interesting or dynamic than they ordinarily would, and ideas may jump from one to the next in free association. Such cerebral qualities make C13 Haze a great strain for boosting creativity and for sustaining focus on complicated, task-based jobs. The high’s mental stimulation can also be a handy way to spice up boring, everyday activities like grocery shopping or cleaning the house. As the high wears on, C13 Haze becomes progressively more relaxed, taking the edge off of any jittery, overstimulated feelings and removing any possible motivation to get things done. Instead, smokers at this stage can enjoy the way that the strain affects their sensory perception — in the right set and setting, sights and sounds can take on a new intensity while extrasensory phenomena like an odd feeling of time dilation are also possible. Trippy effects like these can be pushed even further with media like a moody playlist or a visually striking movie. In these later phases, C13 Haze can also be a fun way to pass the time with some friends, enjoying some laughs and free-flowing conversation. Because it tends to decline from upbeat energy into alert relaxation, this strain is best enjoyed between late afternoon and early evening, when it can be fully appreciated.

C13 Haze can also have several applications for medical cannabis patients. The focused mental energy that tends to persist for the duration of its high can help those with attention deficit disorders to stay zoned in on single tasks. Its upbeat, positive vibe can also temporarily take the edge off mild to moderate cases of stress and depression. Physically, this bud can also ease aches and pains, whether they’re chronic and disease-related or due to simple everyday irritations like headaches or nausea. Because its cerebral qualities can turn into paranoia in the wrong circumstances, C13 is not a good option for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance.

Fortunately for home growers, seeds of C13 Haze are available for sale online. Once obtained, it can be successfully grown indoors or out, although success outdoors requires a hot, humid climate and consistent daytime sunlight. The sativa-influenced plants tend to be tall and branchy, and indoor gardeners may need to prune back its stems early on in order to fit the plants in limited growing spaces. C13 Haze flowers within a long 10 to 11 weeks when grown indoors and offers a very high yield of flowers for patient growers.

Although its buzzy mood is great for party settings, C13 Haze can be a fun way to pass the time alone as well. If you end up sharing this bud in social situations, bring enough to share, as its aroma is sure to turn some heads.
