NL #5 x Haze BX1 is a modern hybrid that traces its genetic lineage back to Haze. As a backcrossed iteration, it serves as a foundational component in the development of Northern Lights #5 Haze. This strain is cultivated both indoors and outdoors, presenting a moderate challenge to growers while rewarding them with a high yield. Under optimal conditions, the plant completes its flowering phase in 61 days.

The terpene profile is headlined by terpinolene, supported by secondary levels of myrcene and ocimene, and rounded out by caryophyllene, beta-pinene, limonene, pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, humulene, eucalyptol, and nerolidol. This complex chemical composition creates a distinct aromatic and flavor profile characterized by the interplay of these twelve constituents. The specific concentration of these compounds informs the sensory experience, grounding its profile in a diverse range of botanical notes.

As a THC-dominant hybrid, NL #5 x Haze BX1 is reported to produce effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the flower suitable for applications involving the management of stress, pain, and sleep. Beyond its immediate utility for consumers, the strain remains recognized for its significant genetic legacy, most notably as a parent to Northern Lights #5 Haze.
