Haze #47
An obscure numbered Haze cut with murky provenance, part of the broader Haze family folklore that shaped modern sativas.
Haze #47 is one of many numbered 'Haze' selections floating around seed catalogs and forums. There is no peer-reviewed chemistry on this specific cut, no verified original breeder record, and no clinical data on its effects. What you can trust: it sits inside the well-documented Haze lineage tradition, which reliably produces long-flowering, terpene-loud sativas. Everything beyond that — specific THC numbers, unique effects, 'the real 47' — is marketing and forum lore. Buy the plant in front of you, not the number.
Overview
Haze #47 is a numbered selection within the sprawling Haze family — the same lineage that produced Original Haze, Neville's Haze, Amnesia Haze, and dozens of other cuts. Unlike those better-documented lines, Haze #47 has no single agreed-upon breeder of record, no published chemotype data, and no chain of custody that can be independently verified No data.
The name appears sporadically in seedbank listings, grower forums, and cut-trading circles, usually described as a long-flowering, terpene-heavy sativa in the classic Haze mold. Whether any two people trading 'Haze #47' are actually growing the same plant is unknowable without genetic testing Disputed.
Chemistry
No peer-reviewed cannabinoid or terpene analysis of Haze #47 specifically exists No data. Vendor COAs, when provided, generally report THC in the high-teens to low-20s percent range with negligible CBD, which is typical for Haze-family plants [1].
Haze-family chemotypes analyzed in the scientific literature tend to be THC-dominant with terpene profiles led by terpinolene, myrcene, ocimene, and beta-caryophyllene, with variable pinene [1][2]. Any claim that Haze #47 has a unique or signature terpene fingerprint should be treated as marketing until backed by lot-specific lab data Weak / limited.
Important caveat: cannabinoid and terpene content vary substantially by phenotype, growing conditions, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling. Two growers running the same clone can produce meaningfully different chemistry [2].
Reported Effects
There are no controlled clinical studies on Haze #47 or, for that matter, on any named cannabis strain as a discrete intervention No data. Reported effects come from user self-report on forums and dispensary menus, which are subject to placebo, expectancy, and marketing bias [3].
Anecdotal reports for Haze-family cultivars generally describe an energetic, cerebral, sometimes racy high with a long duration Anecdote. Some users report anxiety or paranoia at higher doses, which is consistent with what is known about high-THC, low-CBD chemotypes in general [4].
The popular claim that 'sativa' predicts an energetic effect while 'indica' predicts sedation is not supported by chemistry — the indica/sativa split does not reliably map to effects in blind testing Strong evidence [5]. Judge any given Haze #47 sample on its actual COA and your own response, not on its category label.
Lineage
The Haze family originated in 1970s Santa Cruz, California, with the Haze Brothers, who crossed sativa landraces from Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and South India. Original Haze seeds later moved to the Netherlands via Sam the Skunkman and became the backbone of modern Dutch sativa breeding, including work by Neville Schoenmakers at The Seed Bank [6][7].
The specific origin of the '#47' designation is disputed and undocumented Disputed. Numbered Haze cuts (Haze A, Haze C, Purple Haze #1, etc.) have circulated for decades, sometimes assigned by breeders selecting through large seed populations, sometimes assigned by whoever is reselling clones. Without a verifiable breeder statement — which does not appear to exist for #47 — any lineage chart claiming exact parents (e.g. 'Original Haze × Northern Lights #5' or similar) should be treated as unverified No data.
If provenance matters to you, buy from a source that publishes its breeding records.
Cultivation Basics
Assuming a plant sold as Haze #47 behaves like other Haze-family sativas, expect:
- Long flowering: 10–14 weeks indoors; outdoor harvests push into November in the northern hemisphere Anecdote.
- Vertical stretch: Hazes typically double or triple in height after flip. Plan trellising and topping accordingly.
- Light and heat tolerance: Sativa-leaning Hazes generally handle high PPFD and warm temps better than indica-dominant cultivars Weak / limited.
- Nutrient sensitivity: Prone to tip-burn with heavy feeding; ease into higher EC.
- Yield: Moderate for the flower time invested. Experienced indoor growers report 400–500 g/m² under good conditions Anecdote.
Because the plant is long-flowering and stretch-heavy, it is not a beginner strain. Growers new to Haze often run out of vertical space, harvest too early, or fail to manage powdery mildew during the extended flower window.
Marketing vs. Reality
Common claims about Haze #47 to treat skeptically:
- 'The original 47 cut.' There is no documented 'original' — the number is not tied to a verifiable breeder release No data.
- 'Rare heirloom genetics.' Numbered Hazes are not inherently rarer or more original than any other Haze selection. Rarity claims drive price, not quality.
- Specific THC percentages on menus. Menu numbers reflect a single lot's COA at best, cherry-picked marketing at worst. Cannabis potency labeling has documented accuracy problems across legal markets [8].
- Effect predictions from the name. Strain names are not a reliable guide to chemistry or experience [5].
None of this means Haze #47 is a bad plant. It means the number on the label tells you very little. Ask for a full-panel COA (cannabinoids + terpenes), look at the flower, and trust your own session notes over the story on the jar.
