Super Silver Haze

Super Silver Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid developed at Green House Seeds in the Netherlands during the 1990s, combining Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5, and Haze into one of the most decorated sativas in competition history. The strain won the High Times Cannabis Cup three consecutive years, 1997 through 1999, a run that cemented its status as the benchmark Dutch haze of its era. Its breeding is associated with Shantibaba and the Green House program of that period, and it remains a fixture in seed catalogs and legal markets worldwide.

Profile

Super Silver Haze flowers are typically long, tapered, and moderately dense for a haze, with silvery-green coloration under an unusually thick trichome blanket that inspired the name. The aroma is commonly described as sharp citrus and skunk over sweet spice, incense, and a metallic haze edge. Flavor on the exhale tends to be zesty, herbal, and lingering. Terpinolene, myrcene, and caryophyllene are among the terpenes most frequently reported in lab testing of plants sold under this name.

Reported effects

Consumers commonly report a soaring, energetic, and long-lasting cerebral sensation, often described as euphoric and creative with little early heaviness. Some consumers commonly report a gentle body ease arriving late in a session, credited in lore to its Northern Lights ancestry. Reported experiences vary with individual tolerance, dose, and consumption method, and these descriptions do not represent medical or therapeutic outcomes.

Cultivation notes

Growers typically report a flowering period of 10 to 11 weeks, faster than pure haze lines thanks to its skunk and indica ancestry but still a commitment indoors. Plants stretch considerably and produce long colas that benefit from staking, and growers typically note that steady feeding and strong light drive its best resin production. The strain is commonly grown indoors in cooler climates and finishes outdoors only in long-season regions. Yields are generally described as above average once its height is managed.
