About Super Silver Haze Seeds

Background

For years, most popular sativa strains flew under the radar with worldwide stoners. The classification system, i.e., indica/sativa/hybrid, hadn’t caught on yet, and people weren’t looking too deeply into their bud.

However, in 1997, one strain changed all of that.

Super Silver Haze, a cross of Northern Lights, Haze, and Skunk was bred by Green House Seed Co., a cannabis genetics pioneer from Amsterdam.

Back then, Amsterdam was the locus of power when it came to producing fire cannabis strains — not California.

At the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, Super Silver Haze took the #1 spot in what turned out to be a statement of intent. The following year, and the year after that, and after that, and…well, you get the idea, Super Silver Haze won the Cannabis Cup and then some.

Elite European cannabis competitions that only a few in-the-know canna-industry types follow — SSH won those, too.

In total, variations of the strain, including the popular Super Silver Haze by Mr. Nice, have taken well over 25 awards at every level since that first Cannabis Cup victory in ’97.

If you’re wondering what makes this strain such a winner, it all has to do with effects, yield, and audaciously good looks — details about which you’ll find below.

Growing Super Silver Haze Seeds

Super Silver Haze seeds give growers the best of both worlds.

The strain contains just enough indica genetics from its Northern Lights lineage to keep from truly bushing out while still producing ultra-frosty, impossibly long nugs that sativas are known for.

Because of the strain’s popularity over the years, it’s easy to buy high-quality Super Silver Haze seeds and plant them in your garden. There are very few reasons not to when you consider that SSH is one of the most well-documented and most grown cannabis varieties on Earth.

Growing Super Silver Haze seeds comes down to choosing between two seed types.

1. Feminized Super Silver Haze seeds — These are seeds with a low genetic variance that enable you to reliably count on finding only females in your crop. If you’re a beginner, this factoid should bring you a sigh of relief. Feminized Super Silver Haze seeds make your grow happen faster and with less that can go wrong.
2. Regular Super Silver Haze seeds — Regular seeds give you greater access to the SSH strain gene pool. In simple terms, this means you can expect an interesting range of characteristics to show up between plants, such as taller and shorter phenos. However, regular Super Silver Haze seeds are indicated for experienced growers since you’ll have to weed male plants out of your garden.

Grow Difficulty:

Growing Super Silver Haze seeds can be challenging for beginners. Sativas and sativa-dominant hybrids tend to complicate grows with tricky feeding requirements, long flowering periods, and sensitive light preferences.

As such, Super Silver Haze grows difficulty is rated somewhat difficult to medium-difficult.

Optimal Growing Conditions and Climate:

Super Silver Haze seeds are best grown outdoors to capitalize on their larger-than-life bush size and harvest. However, as evidenced by its prolonged streak of cannabis cup victories, SSH does just fine when grown indoors, too.

The name of the game when growing Super Silver Haze seeds is canopy control. Super Silver Haze likes to grow relatively tall while pushing out leaf cover all along its stem from base to canopy.

Keep lower areas trim and clear of excess leaf growth while taking advantage of Low-Stress Training (LST) to reduce the plant’s height while encouraging the growth of multiple cola sites.

The LST grow technique is simple. In effect, all you have to do is bend the plant in strategic locations to restrict it from growing in undesirable directions. Doing so increases light penetration to more of the plant, and has the secondary effect of increasing air circulation.

Super Silver Haze seeds are best grown in warm subtropical climates between 72°F and 83°F. Contrary to most cannabis varieties, Super Silver Haze is tolerant of humidity as long as proper air circulation practices are implemented to avoid rot.

Flowering Time:

Super Silver Haze seeds take their time going from sprout to harvest. But, they’re worth the wait.

In total, indoor growers can expect a 10 to 12-week flowering period, with the average grow taking just about 78 days (11 weeks).

Outdoors growers will harvest in the middle of October (warmer climates) or the middle of October (seasonal climates).

Yield:

Super Silver haze plants are big yielders when grown to perfection.

Indoors, expect up to 800 grams per square meter. Outdoor growers can safely pull down up to 1500 grams per plant.

Height:

As a rangy sativa-dominant hybrid, Super Silver Haze plants are known to grow tall without SCROG or LST techniques applied.

For a shorter, slightly more robust, and indica-leaning variety of this strain, plant Super Silver Haze seeds by Mr. Nice Seedbank.

Resistance to Pests and Mold:

Super Silver Haze seeds grow without inherent problems related to pests and mold as long as two conditions are met.

1. Keep room ventilation at a maximum while ensuring that leaves below the main canopy are shorn and trimmed.
2. Ensure a pest-free grow room by developing sanitary best practices, including wearing clean clothes and shoes when entering.
