About Super Silver Haze
Super Silver Haze is a sativa from Green House Seeds in Amsterdam, built from Skunk, Northern Lights and Haze. It rose to fame in the 1990s and remains one of the most recognized Haze-family strains, frequently used in other breeding projects.
The aroma blends citrus with an earthy, spicy character often described as incense-like. Terpinolene, which tends to bring fresh, herbal and fruity notes, frequently leads the profile, while myrcene adds earthiness and caryophyllene contributes a peppery edge. Buds are usually long and frosty, with a silvery sheen of trichomes that fits the name.
Super Silver Haze is commonly described as energetic, euphoric and creative, so it is mostly considered a daytime strain. THC generally ranges from 18% to 23%, though potency varies by grower and batch.
Given its lively reputation and fairly high THC, it tends to suit experienced consumers. If you are newer, start low and go slow, and check the lab results on the package before choosing a product. Find Super Silver Haze at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you on WhereLeaf.
