A tale of two phenos - Ministry of Cannabis "Hay-Z"

You've probably not heard of Ministry of Cannabis, but here's their "Hay-Z" strain, a cross of Neville's Haze and Super Silver Haze. Only two beans popped, perhaps the deviant was rare, but wow what a difference..

One short but stout and beautiful deviant, and one typical leggy sativa, both mainlined. Compensating for a huge height disparity, grower makes do:

And the buds:

Harvested separately, the short pheno was darker with dense orange hairs, quite different from the green trees of the tall pheno. After drying and curing, short pheno smells of ammonia or cat piss! Tall pheno was typical sativa with a fresh taste and smell, typical Super Silver Haze from what I've read.

The cat piss nearly got tossed, surely something was wrong! Or was it.. a quick search found several reviews, this one nails it:


Strain Name: Cat Piss
Grade: A+ 5/5
Type: Sativa Dominant,
Price Paid: 1 gram= $13, 3.5 grams= $45

Looks: Very huge and dense nuggets, almost like thick green rocks. It can be easily spotted in a garden, no matter the circumstances. There is major bright orange trichome activity occurring here; this is the hairiest nugget I have seen to date. Also looks like it has been out to the sun for days making this strain very desiccated. Some crystals scattered around there, give it a minor sparkle.

Smell: The most unusual smell on this planet. It’s odor is detectable if you had it before. Almost as if it was drenched in ammonia. It may smell grotesque at first, but one learns to bask in it. Get used to it, because it manages to stay inside your nostrils for a while. An unpleasant stench, but a pleasant high.

Taste: When it touches your tongue, you get that foul taste of something sour. It resembles cat piss (does not taste like it, but is very distinct), if anyone was wondering. The aftertaste is also funky and indescribable. The strain will attack your lungs like a train (coincidentally, Trainwreck is the only close related strain to this Marijuana). The inhale is spicy, and it tickles the esophagus, and the exhale has a bite to it, but it goes away in time.

Effects: Effects are noticeable on the first hit, attacks the cerebral area with full force. There might be a slight body buzz, depends on the intake. Really odd? This strain has you extremely focused on whatever you are doing. You will get the Job DONE! Handy for on the job stuff. If you are a gamer, this is the strain for you. Almost like you are on auto-aim. You will win every game of darts. Euphoria is at it’s maximum here, you are really sociable while high to this one. The smell might be deplorable, but the adventure is excellent.

Potency: Solid 8-9/10, I’d give it a perfect score if it didn’t have people running away from my house every time I open the casing.



lol as two friends looked at each other as they tried to describe the taste and effects of this cat piss pheno! Not sure who'd love this shit but damn is it potent. The tall pheno is overall very enjoyable.

in any case, I see why many stick to the elite breeders. So many new companies, oh well they're both very dank and effective

Not sure exactly what your getting at but unless Its an ibl you will get diff phenos
I was thinking that comment may prevent someone from criticizing my breeder choice, a "get what you pay for" kind of reply.

What is an ibl? Such a variance though?

There can be huge variance In phenos. You can have color difference, taste, growth patterns, finishing time. IBL is inbred line means its a stabile genetic that all seeds from will grow the same.

WOW just spotted this, fantastic example grow!!!
And that review BOYYYY
I was just looking for information on my hay-z plant now 8 weeks in flower, and how long to go before harvest and what to look for with this strain, since she has got a lot of brown hairs, almost from the start of flower. But I just didn't seem to find any personal experiences with this strain, so I am happy to have found this.

I recon I got the catpiss one going over here, but, i'm not sure, because I only germinated one seed. And after that I tried to mainline her but it was my first attempt on mainlining so I meesed it up, in the end I am left with alot more branches, so my buds are not as big, there are many small ones but they are nice and hard.
The plant was a breeze to work with, very strong strain, and hasn't given me any problems so far, the only thing is those early brown hairs on the lower buds, while the top bud hairs mature more slowly.. Is this normal?

Smells like kale that has been cooked for too long. But it also smells spicy, fuelly, and with sweet undertones, very hazy, oldschool. She has stinky 'arm pits', but not as stinky (yet) as that catpiss review describes.

I did already taste a hairy sample in my mighty vaporizer, and I can confirm it has a strong uplifting high!

I hope I can give her 2-3 more weeks, so she flowered 10-11 weeks, or would that be too long for Hay-Z ?
And which feno is it? I recon I got them both in one plant? ;)
