Haze #47
An undocumented numbered Haze selection with no verified breeder or published data.
Growing, buying or possessing cannabis and seeds is legal only in some places. Check the law where you live before acting on this information.
Haze #47 appears in seedbank listings and forums but has no documented breeder, published chemotype, or verifiable chain of custody. The number alone tells you almost nothing—two growers trading 'Haze #47' clones may not be growing the same plant. If you encounter it for sale, check the lab report, ask for breeder records, and judge the flower on its chemistry and your own response, not the label.
What We Could Verify
Haze #47 appears in seedbank listings, grower forums, and cut-trading communities but has no published breeding records, no peer-reviewed cannabinoid or terpene analysis, and no documented breeder of record No data. No strain database, seed company website, or official source we could locate names or claims ownership of this cultivar.
The Haze family itself is well documented: it originated in 1970s California with the Haze Brothers and spread globally through Dutch breeders including Neville Schoenmakers at The Seed Bank [1][2]. Numbered Haze selections—Haze A, Haze C, and others—have existed for decades, but the specific origin of the '#47' designation is undocumented No data.
Why the Name Alone Is Not Evidence
Cannabis strain names are not regulated and do not reliably indicate genetics, chemistry, or breeding source Strong evidence [3]. A number appended to 'Haze' suggests a phenotype or selection from a large seed run, but without a breeder statement, published record, or genetic test, it is impossible to know whether:
- Two growers using 'Haze #47' clones are growing the same plant
- The plant is descended from the Haze family at all
- The number refers to a specific cross, a numbered selection from a seed population, or simply a label applied by whoever is reselling
This is not unusual—strain naming in cannabis lacks standardization across legal and informal markets [3].
How to Check if You See It for Sale
If a dispensary or vendor offers Haze #47, ask for and examine:
- Full-panel Certificate of Analysis (COA): Check for cannabinoid percentages (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.) and a terpene profile. A COA is the only objective data about a specific lot [4]. Menu percentages alone are unreliable and often inaccurate [5].
- Breeder or seed-company documentation: Ask the vendor or grower for breeding records, seed purchase receipts, or company pages. The absence of documentation suggests either a private cut or relabeled material.
- Batch and lot codes: Verify that the flower matches the COA lot number. Cannabis potency and terpene content vary substantially by phenotype, growing conditions, and harvest timing Weak / limited [2].
- Visual and sensory assessment: Look at trichome development, smell the flower, and keep notes on your own effects. Judge the sample on what you observe, not the strain name [3].

These strains have verifiable breeding sources, seedbank records, and available lab analyses. How to Grow Haze covers general cultivation for Haze-family plants.
What Happens Next
If you have a breeder record, seed-purchase documentation, lab report, or company page for Haze #47, or if you can provide a stable link to a verified source naming and describing this cultivar, please use the 'Flag an error' button to send it our way. We will update this article if verifiable documentation emerges.
Until then, treat 'Haze #47' as an unverified label. The plant itself may be excellent—but the number tells you very little.
