Super Silver Haze Weed Strain

Super Silver Haze Strain: Three Cannabis Cups, One Legendary Cross

Super Silver Haze came out of Green House Seeds in Amsterdam in the mid-1990s, bred from Haze crossed with Skunk #1 and Northern Lights #5. Pure Haze on its own was a nightmare to grow — stretchy plants, flowering times that dragged on for months. The goal here was to keep that soaring, cerebral Haze high while fixing everything that made the plant impractical to cultivate. It worked well enough to win the High Times Cannabis Cup three years running, 1997 through 1999, a streak almost no strain before or since has matched.

That three-parent lineage does a lot of the explaining, and it settles the question people usually ask first: Super Silver Haze is sativa-dominant, not indica, and not a 50/50 hybrid either. Haze contributes the long-lasting, energetic high the strain is known for. Skunk #1 tightened up the plant structure and added resin production. Northern Lights #5 — an indica landrace out of the Pacific Northwest — brought just enough body weight to keep the high from feeling scattered without pulling the strain toward indica territory. Decades later, it’s still the benchmark other haze-family strains get measured against, and growers still cite its roughly 74-day flowering time as long by modern standards but far more manageable than the pure Haze it descended from.

Aroma, Flavor & Terpene Profile

Myrcene and limonene lead the terpene profile, with pinene close behind — the combination that gives Super Silver Haze its sharp citrus-and-spice signature. Break open a bud and the first note is sweet, almost incense-like, backed by a skunky muskiness from the Skunk #1 side of the lineage. Pine and lemon come through stronger the more the flower gets handled.

On the exhale, that citrus sharpens into something closer to fresh-cracked pepper, with a woody, herbal finish trailing behind. It’s a loud smell by design — Haze genetics have never been subtle — so anyone who’s grown or smoked strains in this family will recognize it instantly.

Super Silver Haze Strain Effects

THC generally runs in the 18-23% range. The high hits fast and lands mostly in the head: a clear, energizing lift that sharpens focus rather than scattering it, which is part of why this strain built its reputation as a wake-and-bake favorite. Northern Lights #5 keeps that energy from feeling jittery — there’s a light body ease underneath the mental buzz, enough to keep things comfortable without pulling you toward the couch.

Effects tend to run long, often stretching two to three hours at a steady level rather than spiking and dropping off fast. That duration, combined with the clear-headed nature of the high, is the main reason reviewers consistently rank it among the strongest sativa-dominant options for sustained focus — creative work, errands, a long walk — more than a quick burst of energy.

Why Choose Highvendor’s Super Silver Haze

Haze-family genetics are notorious for losing their sharpest citrus and spice notes if they’re not cured and packaged right — the same volatile compounds that make the aroma so loud are the first to fade once a bag’s been opened and closed a few times. We handle it accordingly rather than treating it like a standard flower run.

Every batch comes back from lab testing before it’s listed, so the 18-23% THC figure reflects what the strain actually tested at, batch to batch. Product ships vacuum-sealed and unmarked, which keeps that citrus-and-spice profile intact through transit instead of half-faded by the time it reaches you.
