Lineage
Leafly lists Haze and Strawberry Fields as its parents, while noting its origins are mysterious. Treat that lineage as likely rather than confirmed.
Indica, sativa and what to expect
Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
