Northern Lights #5 X Haze is a modern hybrid resulting from the crossing of Northern Lights #5, Haze, and Silver Haze. This strain is cultivated over a 70-day flowering period and is rated at a moderate level of grow difficulty. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments and is recognized for its high production yield. Its genetic influence is extensive, having served as a progenitor for notable offspring including Amnesia Limon, Caribe, High Definition, Docta Clean, Jamaican Face Melt, JJ’s Nigerian, Kansas City silver Haze, Mako Haze, Mandela Mindscape, Nigerian Silk, and others.
The chemical complexity of this strain is defined by a deep terpene profile led by myrcene, pinene, and terpinolene. This primary trio is further supported by a balanced secondary and tertiary composition consisting of caryophyllene, ocimene, beta-pinene, limonene, humulene, nerolidol, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, alpha-terpinene, and gamma-terpinene. These compounds work in concert to create the distinct sensory profile of the hybrid, which expresses itself through these layers of identified volatile organic compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Northern Lights #5 X Haze is typically sought after for its ability to produce relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These user experiences make the strain a suitable choice for those managing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Its reliable morphology and psychoactive profile have cemented its role as a foundational hybrid within contemporary breeding programs, contributing to a diverse range of modern cannabis varieties.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
