NYC Haze
NYC Haze is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Black Piff. Cultivated for both indoor and outdoor environments, this strain is considered to have a moderate level of production difficulty. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle. Its genetic legacy is evidenced by a selection of notable offspring, including African Piff #3, Cross Bronx Haze, and Hazel Nut Piff #2.
The chemical profile of NYC Haze is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by dominant levels of terpinolene, myrcene, and ocimene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of caryophyllene, beta-pinene, limonene, pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, humulene, eucalyptol, and nerolidol. This composition provides a specific sensory profile that reflects the integration of these twelve distinct terpenes rather than focusing on any singular aromatic component.
As a THC-dominant strain, NYC Haze is predominantly utilized for its ability to induce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for individuals addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. Its established position in current cultivation circles is supported by its consistent genetic output and its efficacy in providing these targeted therapeutic outcomes.
