Store / Flower / Super silver haze AAAA+

Super Silver Haze (often abbreviated as SSH) is one of the most legendary sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strains (approximately 80% sativa / 20% indica) in history. Bred by the iconic Green House Seed Company in the late 1990s, it achieved legendary status by winning three consecutive 1st Place overall titles at the High Times Cannabis Cup (1998, 1999, and 2000), a feat that cemented it as a global coffeeshop staple.

Lineage and Genetics

The strain was meticulously engineered by master breeders Scott Blakey (Shantibaba), Arjan Roskam, and Neville Schoenmakers by combining three foundational pillars of cannabis genetics: [6, 7]

Skunk #1: Injects structural reliability, fast flowering times, and a pungent, savory density.
Northern Lights #5: Contributes an abundance of sticky silver resin, shortens node spacing, and adds physical comfort.
Haze: The soaring pure sativa king that provides the strain with its signature electric energy and spicy, incense-like aroma. [8, 9, 10, 11]

Potency and Terpenes

THC Content: Typically tests between 18% and 23% THC. While modern "exotic" strains often check in with higher numeric numbers, the specialized chemical composition of SSH provides an exceptionally long-lasting and intense high.
Terpene Profile: Heavily dominated by myrcene (musky earth), terpinolene (woody fruit), and beta-caryophyllene (spicy pepper). [5, 12, 13, 14, 15]

Aroma, Flavor, and Appearance

Aroma: Intensely pungent and "loud." It fills a room with a complex blend of sharp, peppery spices, fresh-cut pine, and a distinct herbal, diesel-like haze backend. [16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
Flavor: Accents its Haze heritage beautifully, tasting of sour citrus and earthy eucalyptus on the inhale, leaving a sweet, woody, and slightly skunky aftertaste on the palate. [5, 21, 22]
Appearance: True to its name, the long, spear-shaped colas look practically "silver" due to an incredibly dense, thick coat of sticky white glandular trichomes. The bright lime-green buds are loosely woven with thin, pale orange pistils. [5, 23, 24, 25, 26]

Typical Effects

Electric Stimulation: It functions like a shot of adrenaline to the mind, launching a fast-acting wave of euphoric, high-energy mental clarity that completely clears away brain fog. [27]
Creative Motivation: Highly favored by artists, musicians, and daytime users on platforms like Leafly for its ability to enhance focus, spark conversation, and fuel active projects.
Functional Body Calm: Despite its electric mental energy, the Northern Lights genetics provide a soothing physical underline that relaxes muscles without causing any physical drag, laziness, or couch-lock.
Medical Use: Frequently chosen by medical patients to find relief from chronic daytime fatigue, severe stress, depression, migraines, and nausea. [28, 29]
