This is a beautiful haze which I hope to try again one day. It was part of my first ever grow, and despite all the insults thrown its way, grew into a majestic plant covered in sticky white buds - about two ounces worth. I've never again come across anything quite like it. To my shame, as a novice I left it too long to reveg and lost it forever. It was borderline psychedelic - colours seemed brighter, smells smelled sweeter...the world just seemed more real on this delicious haze.

This was a decent enough strain to smoke, but not among my favourites. It doesn't compare to the borderline-psychedelic Delahaze from Paradise Seeds that I enjoyed several years ago. It's harder to grow too, and because of that I eventually gave up on this strain. The spindly branches are sprawling and need to be supported, but the buds themselves are not exceptionally large, and being a haze, take a long time to mature. I found it prone to botrytis in an indoor environment. On the plus side, it provides all the uplifting effects you'd expect of a haze without any noticeable anxiety.

This strain is great for get up & go on low energy days, bulletproof to grow and high yielding. It's a beautifully smooth smoke. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those with anxiety as in high doses it's prone to stir up anxiety and paranoia in susceptible people, something I've noticed in myself and friends - YMMV.

Easy to grow and short in stature, making this a perfect strain for novice indoor grows. Buds are smaller and more indica, but with beautiful pine and lemon scented notes. A great strain for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety or muscular pain.

Earthy, sticky and sweet, this is a mellow strain with a much lower tendency to cause anxiety or paranoia than strains like AK-47. It is not the easiest nor highest yielding strain and benefits from at least a moderate amount of growing experience. However, it's mould-resistant and hardy and smokes beautifully; putting it firmly on my list of favourites. On the rare occasion that overconsumption of JH has given me anxiety, it's a milder, more complex and 'sophisticated' anxiety if that makes sense...nothing that can't be worked through.

This strain is an absolute dream. It's topped my previous favourites, White Widow & Jack Herer. Like Jack Herer, it's prone to P deficiency and leaf curling if there's an imbalance in the soil, but it doesn't hold this plant back. Even a relative novice can get her to produce giant, delicious, tightly packed buds under less than perfect conditions. The high is beautiful - clear headed, uplifted and relaxed without a trace of the anxiety other strains can produce. It's sativa enough to give me much needed energy on my worst chronic fatigue days, yet indica enough to relax my tight muscles. It sits beautifully in the middle and I can't think of a condition it wouldn't help with.
