Hazel A5

Hazel A5 is a sativa dominant hybrid (65% sativa/35% indica) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.9% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Hazel A5 high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Hazel A5 a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect earthy and skunk up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a earthy-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Hazel A5 is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Hazel family — see Hazel Nut Piff #2 and Hazel T for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
