Super Silver Haze

Super Silver Haze is a cornerstone of the 1990s Dutch cannabis scene, selected by Green House Seed Company and rooted in the foundational breeding work of Neville Schoenmaker and Shantibaba. Its genetic lineage is widely cited as a three-way cross between Skunk #1, Northern Lights, and Haze. While the strain is closely associated with Silver Haze, the specific history of these selections and the roles of various breeders remain a subject of debate. Regardless of its complex lineage, Super Silver Haze is firmly established as a classic of the Amsterdam era.

The aromatic profile is defined by sharp, savory notes rather than sweetness. It features a blend of peppery spice, earth, and herbs, accented by citrus and a distinct, pungent Haze funk, with subtle undertones of pine and skunk. This profile reflects a pre-modern era of breeding, prioritizing complexity over the candy-like aromas common in contemporary strains.

Users frequently report a rapid, energetic onset characterized by an upbeat, cerebral lift. It is often described as a functional, creative, and euphoric experience that maintains a steady momentum for several hours. While it is considered a potent daytime strain, it is noted for providing a grounding layer of relaxation that prevents the experience from becoming overly jittery. Its reputation was solidified by its performance on the competition circuit, securing major honors at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998, and 1999.
