Next of Kin Feminized (Elite Sativa) – Super Strains
Next of Kin Feminized by Super Strains is an authentic agronomic artwork, explicitly conceived for purists of great Haze sativas who refuse modern commercial compromises. This elite genetics represents the true “next of kin” to the seedbank’s legendary original Amnesia, born from a highly refined backcrossed selection aimed at maximizing the clearest, most cerebral, and psychedelic sativa traits of the lineage. The botanical focus of this cultivar lies in preserving the electric, elixir-like high of 1980s tropical sativas, while optimizing phenotypic stability thanks to an impeccable feminization process.
It develops a majestic, slender, vine-like, and elegantly open structure. Its vegetative plane grows with overwhelming biological drive, showing long, thin branches, a wide internodal space, and fan leaves with ultra-fine fingers. It produces long, spear-shaped colas, structurally airy yet packed with swollen calyxes that get covered in a silvery, viscous resin blanket with an overwhelming scent of ancient incense. It is the reference genetics for those demanding a sharp, high-school psychoactivity.
Next of Kin Feminized in brief
This sativa-dominant queen demands patience, completing its indoor flowering phase within a 10-12 week window (70-84 days). Indoors, under proper management and high-efficiency intense lighting systems, it guarantees massive and stable harvests estimated between 500 and 600g/m². Outdoors, it expresses monumental productivity, easily exceeding 600-700g per dried plant.
THC levels are very high (20%), delivering a clean, crystalline psychedelic surge free of physical crashes. Post-switch vertical elongation is titanic, capable of tripling or quadrupling the initial size of the vegetative phase. The olfactory profile is aristocratic and penetrating: a dense mix of cathedral incense, ancient cedar wood, scots pine, and exotic spices.

Cultural Management (Indoor and Outdoor)
Indoors, Next of Kin is an exuberant plant requiring rigorous agronomic planning. The post-switch stretch is vigorous and prolonged; applying a SCROG net or a continuous super-cropping technique across the branch plane is mandatory to distribute light evenly and tame the apical zone, preventing the canopy from touching the LED grow lamps.
Many professional growers choose to run it directly under a 12/12 photoperiod from seed to contain its height. Nutrient absorption is sober and delicate: it prefers light diets with a maximum EC of 1.4-1.5 at peak bloom, supported by a VPD of 1.3-1.5 kPa to sustain the accelerated transpiration of the dense aerial mass.
Outdoors or in greenhouses, this variety fully expresses its biological magnificence. It develops a titanic and extremely deep root platform that demands giant fabric pots or open ground. The structurally airy and thin conformation of its spear-shaped calyxes allows for perfect airflow within the flowers, granting it fantastic natural resistance to botrytis and autumn molds, making it highly suitable for high altitude or humid guerrilla cultivation.
However, flowering continues until late October or early November; using ventilated greenhouses is advised in northern regions. The installation of sturdy mechanical stakes is mandatory to prevent structural breakages.
Terpene Profile and Effect
The organoleptic profile of Next of Kin is the very essence of the Haze lineage. During advanced flowering, the plants saturate the air with a penetrating, resinous, and balsamic scent dominated by ancient cathedral incense, sandalwood, and scots pine needles, enriched by warm spicy notes of black pepper and sharp sour citrus nuances. On the palate, the smoke is ultra-fine, velvety, and leaves a lingering balsamic aftertaste that clears the mouth.
With a 20% THC level, the effect is a pure psychoactive experience, entirely cerebral and free of physical crashes. It instantly triggers a surge of pure cerebral euphoria, cognitive clarity, and psychedelic energy. It lifts the spirit to stratospheric heights, accelerates thought flow, and stimulates creativity and talkativeness to superior levels, proving to be the ultimate daytime and artistic variety. It brings no bodily muscle relaxation or lethargy, leaving the consumer active and electrified.
Strain Comparisons
- Next of Kin vs Amnesia (Super Strains): The original Amnesia offers marginally denser calyxes due to the Afghan indica component in the background. Next of Kin guarantees a vastly purer, clearer, and more electric sativa Haze drive, a higher vertical stretch, and an infinitely deeper, more exotic cathedral incense terpene profile.
- Next of Kin vs Kees’ Old School Haze (SSSC): Kees’ Old School Haze is a regular line requiring up to 14 weeks and is focused entirely on breeding. Next of Kin offers the certainty of a 100% productive female population, a slightly faster flowering by a few days, and marginally more accessible indoor management.
FAQ
- How many vegetative days does it require indoors? Given the massive post-switch stretch, it is recommended to limit indoor growth to just one week, or to switch directly to 12/12 from seed to contain canopy height within perfect limits.
- How much air filtration does it need indoors? A lot. The volatile incense terpenes are extremely penetrating. An oversized air filtration system with new carbon filters is a mandatory requirement indoors to manage cultivation in total discretion.
- How long should the root flush last? A deep and thorough root flush of at least 14-18 days with pH-controlled water only is recommended to allow the fine citrus and incense notes to express themselves without any harshness in the smoke.
