Growth Stages
Seedling
2-3 weeksSmall plants with rounded cotyledons and emerging true leaves; delicate and pale green
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide bright indirect light or 6-8 hours of direct light. Maintain warmth at 70-75°F. Use seedling-strength nutrients sparingly.
Vegetative
4-6 weeksVigorous growth with multiple leaf sets and branch development; plants become bushier and taller with deep green foliage
Increase light to 14-16 hours daily. Maintain temperatures 68-78°F during day, slightly cooler at night. Apply balanced nutrients (higher nitrogen). Prune lower branches to encourage airflow and focus energy on upper growth.
Pre-flowering
1-2 weeksPlant transitions as photoperiod shortens; pre-flowers appear at nodes; growth slows slightly
Begin reducing photoperiod to 12 hours if indoor; outdoors this occurs naturally. Transition to flowering nutrients (higher phosphorus and potassium). Monitor humidity (45-55% ideal). Increase air circulation.
Flowering
60-70 daysDense, resinous buds develop with white pistils and frosty trichomes; characteristic Suver Haze aroma intensifies
Maintain 12-hour photoperiod (strict for consistent flowering). Keep humidity 40-50% to prevent bud rot. Use phosphorus and potassium-rich flowering nutrients. Support heavy buds with stakes or trellising. Ensure excellent air circulation.
Harvest-Ready
1-2 weeks pre-harvest observationBuds fully mature with amber-tinted trichomes (approximately 70-80% cloudy, 20-30% amber); pistils darken to reddish-brown
Stop feeding 7-10 days before harvest (flush with plain water). Harvest in early morning for optimal cannabinoid concentration. Dry buds slowly at 60-70°F and 45-55% humidity over 7-14 days. Cure in sealed jars with humidity packs.
Common Pests
-
Spray with neem oil or insecticidal soap; increase humidity; introduce predatory mites; ensure good air circulation
-
Reduce humidity to below 50%; improve air circulation; apply sulfur dust or potassium bicarbonate spray; remove affected leaves
-
Spray with water to dislodge; use neem oil or insecticidal soap; encourage beneficial insects; avoid excess nitrogen fertilizer
-
Yellow sticky traps; insecticidal soap; neem oil; vacuum adults with handheld device; maintain good ventilation
-
Maintain humidity below 50%; ensure excellent air circulation with fans; remove affected buds immediately; avoid overhead watering

Harvest Tips
Harvest when approximately 70-80% of trichomes appear cloudy white with 20-30% turning amber; this maximizes CBD and provides balanced effects. Cut branches in early morning when resin levels peak. Dry slowly at 60-70°F with 45-55% relative humidity for 7-14 days until stems snap cleanly. Cure in airtight mason jars with humidity packs (62% RH) for 2-4 weeks, burping daily. Properly cured buds will have enhanced flavor and potency.
Fun Facts
- 🌱 Suver Haze is a cross between Early Resorption and Suver (Hawaiian Haze × Early Resorption), carefully bred to maximize CBD content while maintaining robust growth and pest resistance.
- 🌱 The name 'Haze' references the legendary Haze genetics lineage, known for dense resinous buds and complex aromatic terpene profiles that include limonene (citrus), myrcene (herbal), and caryophyllene (spice).
- 🌱 Hemp cultivars like Suver Haze are legally defined in many jurisdictions as containing less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, making them accessible in regions where higher-THC cannabis remains restricted.
