Super Silver Haze (sometimes shortened to SSH) was born through the careful and strategic cross-breeding of Northern Lights, Haze, and Skunk #1, three of the highest quality strains on earth. Looking at its genetic lineage, it’s no question how Super Silver Haze rose to be a highly sought-after and award-winning strain itself.
Super Silver Haze is a sativa-dominant strain with a ratio of 70:30 between sativa and indica.

Medical Applications
THC, CBD, and uplifting terpenes like limonene, pinene, and terpinolene can help alleviate depression via modulation of serotonin transmission.
Low doses of THC and moderate to high doses of CBD can act as a sedative that can help relieve anxiety and associated problems like insomnia.
Cannabis’s modulating effects on serotonin transmission help reduce headache and migraine pain.
Modulation of dopamine, serotonin, and several other neurotransmitters and receptor systems gives cannabis anti-emetic (anti-nausea) properties.
Cannabinoids like THC can help stimulate the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Dosing
Dosing on any form of cannabis, including Super Silver Haze is very much a personal affair. A particular strain (cultivar) and the dose may be effective for one person and ineffective for another.
Generally, it is best to go slow and low, especially if you are eating cannabis, where a starting dose of 2.5 – 5.0 mg is ideal. Those inhaling cannabis should take just one or two puffs at a time, waiting a few minutes between each pull to lower the chances of an overwhelming effect.
Growing
Growing Super Silver Haze requires some experience and is not suitable for novice growers, especially those wanting their plant to reach its full potential. As is typical with most other sativa strains, expect Super Silver Haze to produce tall plants and provide ample room to avoid overcrowding.
Super Silver Haze thrives best in hydroponic growing conditions but can also be grown in soil. If everything goes to plan while growing, successful indoor harvests yield around 19 ounces per square meter, and outdoor yields 15 ounces per plant.
Height
Super Silver Haze can easily grow to be over 6.5 ft tall.
Humidity and Temperature
Super Silver Haze requires a hot, sunny, and balmy climate, which restricts the geographical locations suitable for outdoor growth. Mediterranean and tropical climates are ideal for this cultivar.
Retain relative humidity between 65-80% when your plants sprout as seedlings. In the vegetative stage, slightly lower down to between 60-70%. In the flowering stage, humidity should be between 30% and 40% to prevent mold from growing on your flower.
Flowering
Super Silver Haze flowers within 10-12 weeks when grown indoors. These plants are ready for harvest in mid-October when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere.
