Super Silver Haze Feminized

First-prize winner at the High Times Cannabis Cup for three consecutive years, Super Silver Haze is a must-have in any pot stash. Meticulously bred from Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk #1 genetics, this Sativa is a beauty inside and out. The lime-green buds have a silvery sheen from the abundance of trichomes and give off a powerful spicy dank aroma. The one-two hit promotes mental clarity and motivation, along with a gentle body calm. Devotees love this strain for its pain-killing and anti-anxiety properties.

Super Silver Haze takes a bit of experience to grow. Because of the dominance of its Sativa genes, it tends to stretch tall and get spindly. Adequate upwards space is needed to prevent it from becoming scrunched up. For a novice grower, the easiest way would be to plant outdoors so that the saplings do not get overcrowded. This is usually not a problem since the strain is naturally resistant to bugs and diseases. In addition, if the climate is on the tropical side – hot and humid – then the chances of success are even higher. However, the yield is not as great as it would be indoors.

That being said, indoor cultivation requires some tweaking to coax out more buds. A hydroponics setup combined with training would be best. Experts use the Screen of Green (SCROG) method because it offers many advantages that are suitable for this strain. For one thing, weaving the plants’ stems through a screen creates a flat, table-top shape that enables all the bud sites to receive equal amounts of light. This means that more intense (and expensive) grow lights are not necessary – CFL bulbs will do the job nicely. This type of light decreases the likelihood of overheating and light burn. Moreover, the use of screens provides built-in support for the heavy buds as the plants mature.

Scrogging raises the relative humidity of a grow room because the plants are close together with thick foliage. Luckily, SSH does not mind moist conditions. Still, you should use a hygrometer and check the RH regularly so that it does not get too high. Too wet of an environment could result in bud rot, especially towards the end of the flowering stage. This fungus works in insidious ways, attacking the biggest colas first. Inspect the buds often and watch out for the telltale white mold.

Sativas are notorious for having long flowering periods, sometimes for months on end. Fortunately, the creators of Super Silver Haze have bred that characteristic out of this strain. As a result, the flowering time indoors is relatively brief at 9 to 11 weeks. Outdoors, blooming peaks around mid to late October – ample time to harvest before Jack Frost arrives.

As mentioned earlier, SSH can reach its full potential better indoors. Under the right conditions, up to 540 grams (19 ounces) of usable weed can be harvested. Nevertheless, indoor cultivation may not be for everyone. It is costlier than growing in the open air, of course, but for this strain, in particular, some experience in employing the proper training technique is the key to success.

In the great outdoors, a novice cultivator can more or less leave SSH to its own devices. Take note, though, that the height of the plants can reach a towering 230 cm (7.5 feet). Additionally, the dank and skunky odor that wafts all over the place is unmistakably ganja. Therefore, this is not the right strain for a discreet grow. But if you have the right space for it, each plant can give you about 425 grams (15 ounces).

Super Silver Haze produces a two-fold effect that might sound contradictory – stimulating and calming. True, it is principally a Sativa and delivers alertness and motivation. However, it also has a smidgen of Indica genes. It is this little snippet that softens the high-energy buzz and gives it a more even temper. For these reasons, it is often used as a wake ‘n bake, or as a shot of rejuvenation in the afternoon.

Besides the invigoration that keeps the body moving, this strain can also awaken creativity and self-awareness. In a group setting, it engenders lively and solution-based discussions. But on the other hand, it is also suitable for quiet introspection without the tendency to spiral down into negativity.

Due to its galvanic consequences, this is not the strain to use if you are sleep-deprived and wanting to rest. Consume it in the evening and it will keep you going all night like the Energizer Bunny. If you are troubled by insomnia, you would be better off smoking an Indica-leaning strain as it will relax your body and mind.

The words “skunky’, “diesel”, and “sour” do not usually connote delightful smells, but in the case of SSH, they are. The strange combination melds together nicely and is unexpectedly pleasant. The pungency from Skunk #1 genes is moderated by the earthiness of Northern Lights, while the acid tang comes from Haze. As for the diesel fumes, they are the result of a high concentration of Delta-3 carene, a terpene that makes up 42% of turpentine.

The flavor of this strain is as incomparable as its scent. Sweet lemon and spicy herbs turn up initially, but then unforeseen cheesiness strikes. Upon the exhale, some of the skunky aroma sits on the palate but fades after a while. The smoke is not harsh at all and will not lead to a coughing fit.

If you are a beginner but you want to grow SSH at home, you should try Auto Super Silver Haze Fem because it is much more low-maintenance. Through the addition of Cannabis ruderalis genes, the plant that is produced is more compact, hardier, and blooms automatically without the manipulation of grow light settings. The yield is less, but this is offset by the shorter life cycle. Multiple crops in a single year are possible to increase production.

Marijuana users who are looking for the same energizing effect but don’t like dank aromas can turn to Bubblegum Haze Fem. As the name suggests, this strain has the candy-like, fun flavor of bubblegum. Like SSH, it is highly motivating and mood-lifting, but the feeling will not escalate into nervousness.

In contrast, you might prefer a more relaxing outcome, in which case Northern Lights Fem would be an excellent choice. This classic Indica is one of Super Silver Haze’s illustrious parents and a favorite all across the globe. It induces a hypnotic calm that is commonly used to relieve sleeplessness.

Another well-respected ancestor is Skunk #1 Fem. This old-timer laid the groundwork for the majority of the marijuana seeds being sold today. It has a short flowering time, flourishes in all types of climate, and spawns tremendously heavy colas. The high is balanced between physical and mental, given its 50% Indica and 50% Sativa genetics.
