Strain Overview
Catpiss Haze is exactly what the name says she is. She is a clone-only sativa cut that was selected out of Super Silver Haze and has been running underground in the legacy circuit since the 1990s. The smell is the whole point. Sharp, ammonia-heavy, almost litterbox funk on top of a wild herbal Haze backbone, with a soft pine and citrus lift in the middle that keeps her interesting instead of one-note. If she does not let your neighbors know what is up, she is not the real cut.
This is not a polite strain. She is loud in the room, loud in the bag, and loud on the burn. Bag appeal is not her thing: she is fluffy, foxtailed, and frosted in a sativa-lean way that does not photograph like a modern hybrid. What she is selling is the smoke and the head ride. Old heads chase her because nothing in the modern hybrid catalog smells like this, and once you run her through a clean cure you understand why she stayed in rotation for thirty years.

Lineage & History: The Phenotype Nobody Forgot
Catpiss came out of the Super Silver Haze pool in the 1990s, which means her grandparents are Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk #1. Super Silver Haze is one of the most decorated sativa hybrids in the modern era, and Catpiss is the rare pheno from that line that took the funk in a completely different direction. Instead of the classic citrus-and-incense Haze profile, she pushed into ammonia territory: sharp, pungent, almost litter-box, with the herbal Haze backbone underneath.
There are a couple of regional versions of the Catpiss story. The SoCal version is sometimes traced back to a Trainwreck pheno, while the NorCal version is more often pinned to the Super Silver Haze line through forum-era preservation work. The cut that survived in the legacy circuit is the Super Silver Haze pheno, and that is what GSRH is shipping. Either way the smell is the through-line, and that smell is what kept her alive.
She is one of the few clone-only sativa cuts from that era still running in 2026. Modern breeders have tried to reproduce the funk through seed crosses and the result is usually a softer, sweeter approximation. The original cut still hits different. If you have a customer who asks specifically for Catpiss, they know what they want, and they will know if you do not have the real one.
Flavor & Aroma
Open the jar and the ammonia hits first. Sharp, pungent, sour, with a wild herbal note running underneath and a soft pine and citrus lift in the middle. The funk is what people remember, but the secondary layers are what make her interesting on a second smell. Late in the cure a peppery spice opens up and a clean grassy exhale comes through that gives her a finish more refined than her name suggests.
On the burn she is smooth for how loud she smells, but make no mistake, she is loud. Ammonia and herbal Haze lift on the inhale, pine and citrus sit through the middle, and the peppery spice grounds the exhale. She runs warm through clean glass and burns to a soft gray ash. In a paper she opens up and the herbal lift dominates. In a bowl the funk takes over and the room knows what you are smoking inside thirty seconds. Upgrade your filter before flip if it is borderline.
For hash makers she is a wildcard pick. Fresh frozen holds the funk and the herbal complexity, and her rosin presses to a deep amber that tastes nothing like a modern dessert lane rosin. If you want a profile that stands out on a dab menu and gives smokers something they have not tasted in a decade, Catpiss is a slot worth running.
Effects & What to Expect
The come-up is fast and clear. First three to five minutes you get a sharp uplift, a racing creative buzz, and a noticeable rise in energy that pulls you forward. Twenty minutes in she is a full sativa head ride: bright, alert, talkative, and loose, with a soft body lift that does not weigh you down. Total ride is two and a half to three hours.
She is a daytime rotation strain, full stop. Morning smokers love her because she opens the day clean. Afternoon smokers run her on creative or social work because the head buzz is sharp and the energy is real. She is a poor late-night choice unless you want to be awake at 2 AM rearranging your record collection. Tolerance smokers reach for her when modern hybrids feel flat, and newer smokers should ease in because the head ceiling is higher than the gentle body suggests.
The come-down is clean and slow. No fog, no slump, just a steady taper that lets you keep moving. She is one of the better strains for a long working session because she does not crash you out at the two-hour mark.
Growing Catpiss Haze
She grows like a Haze. Tall, branchy, and stretchy with a 2.5 to 3x stretch in the first three weeks of flower. Top her early at the third or fourth node and run a heavy trellis, because she will reach for the lights and her colas need support late in flower. Give her room: 5 to 6 square feet per plant if you want her to express her structure properly. This is not a tray-friendly plant.
She is a moderate feeder with classic Haze sensitivity to over-fertilization. The Sativa lines from this era run leaner than commercial hybrids, so dial in your base feeding and resist the urge to push her like a Cookies cross. Run a clean cal-mag schedule and a moderate PK push from week 4 of flower. Tip: her funk is environment-sensitive. Keep the room well-ventilated and the temperature stable in the 70s through bloom and her ammonia note stays sharp. Overheat her late and she goes generic.
The buds finish long, foxtailed, and resin-coated with a sativa structure that stacks into elongated airy spears rather than dense rocks. She holds her terps well through cure but the resin layer is delicate, so handle her gently. She finishes outdoor in late October to early November in dry climates, which makes her risky in humid regions. Indoor or low-RH greenhouse is the play.
She is a moderate yielder for her flowering time. Expect 1.2 to 1.6 grams per watt indoor with a clean canopy. The trade is the smoke profile, which you cannot get from a faster hybrid. Cure her 28 days minimum. The funk does not fully open up until day 21, and a fast cure leaves you with a generic Haze instead of a Catpiss. Run her properly or do not run her at all.
