Super Silver Haze

Super Silver Haze is a Sativa-dominant hybrid from Amsterdam’s Green House Seed Company.

Its name once belonged to a plant from breeders Scott Blakey, aka Shantibaba; Howard Marks, aka Mr. Nice; and Neville Schoenmaker, who retooled the strain and called it Silver Haze after leaving the seed company.

Green House reports the current version of the strain is the result of crossing Shiva with Northern Lights #5, donated by breeder Sam the Skunkman. The strain earned three successive 1st Place Awards at High Times’ Cannabis Cup -- 1st Hydro in 1998, and 1st Place overall in 1998 and 1999.

The seed company reports the strain has an instantly recognizable, spicy-peppery terpene profile and a strong, fast-acting Sativa-like effect. It tested at 19.11% THC, 0.17% CBD and 0.74% CBN. It’s recommended for treating pain and stimulating appetite.

The strain grows tall with long branches, vivid green leaves, and both white and orange stigma hairs in a 70-77 day flowering period. Green House reports an outdoor harvest of mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere, and mid-April in the Southern Hemisphere. It also recommends Screen of Green (ScrOG,) and Low-Stress Training (LST) for indoor grows, and equatorial, tropical, subtropical and temperate climates for outdoor growing.

In addition to the original Super Silver Haze, Green House carries a high-CBD version of the strain — a result of crossing it with a high-CBD plant. Both original and high-CBD versions are available in feminized seed form from the seed company.
