Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant cultivar developed by Green House Seeds through a cross commonly attributed to Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. It gained wide recognition after winning the Cannabis Cup in 2008 and again in 2009, cementing its reputation among citrus-forward sativa lines. The cultivar is grown widely across legal US markets and is frequently used as breeding stock for other lemon-profile hybrids.

Profile

Flowers of Super Lemon Haze are typically medium to large, elongated, and moderately dense, with light-to-medium green coloration and abundant trichomes that lend a frosted, resinous look. Bright orange pistils are commonly noted threading through the calyxes. The aroma is dominated by sharp citrus and lemon-rind notes layered over a sweet, sugary undertone, with a faint fuel or spice accent reported in some phenotypes. On the exhale, flavor is generally described as tart and zesty, echoing the aroma closely. Limonene is the terpene most consistently reported as dominant in laboratory testing, followed by caryophyllene, myrcene, and terpinolene, which together are commonly cited as responsible for the strain's citrus-forward, slightly peppery character.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a fast-arriving, energetic, and uplifted mental state shortly after use, often paired with descriptions of enhanced sociability and focus. Some consumers commonly report a light, buzzy physical sensation alongside the cerebral effects, without heavy body sedation. Reported experiences vary based on individual tolerance, dose, and consumption method, and these descriptions do not constitute medical or therapeutic claims.

Cultivation notes

Growers typically report that Super Lemon Haze requires a relatively long flowering period of 9 to 11 weeks, consistent with its Haze-heavy background. Plants often grow tall with moderate branching, and growers typically report benefits from early topping and trellis support to manage structure and light penetration. The cultivar is commonly grown both indoors and outdoors, with outdoor growers typically reporting best results in warm climates with low humidity late in the season to reduce mold risk. Yields are generally reported as above average for a sativa-leaning line.
