Haze is kind of an odd concept. Haze is to sativa as kush is to indica, except kush refers to a region (Hindu kush mountains) where as Haze is a very specific line, originally from California, it was then taken to Holland by Neville to be further worked. It's a lineage more than a label at heart, and even in that lineage, there doesn't seem to be a true breeding "Haze" Haze. Tom Hill has been working the positronic Haze for 30 years, and he has only got the desired pheno to show in 2.5% of all seeds (including males)
Nl5/Haze is a more tried and true combo. Throw skunk 1 in there and you've got Super Silver Haze. These are amazing plants, but they are all moving further and further from the original line, or neviles specific line of A5 and C5 (might be missing one or two?)
All of that being said, it's become a colloquial term for potent sativa leaning hybrids. The language has evolved, which basically makes the history irrelevant because as you just found out, anybody can throw the name Haze on a cross, and nobody ever gives them shit for it.
Modern weed names are somewhere between dumb and clever, inevitably trying too hard to be as cool as their predicesors, and more often than not falling short. Afyer all, theres truth to the term "afghan", "kush", and "haze. What the fuck does cookies and cake have anything to do with the high? I digress...Autos are the most capitalist, least inspired examples of shitty naming practices.
