Oldman's Silver Haze 98 Strain Overview
Oldman's Silver Haze 98 is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a preservation of the classic Silver Haze genetics from the late 1990s. The strain was reportedly developed by an anonymous breeder known as 'Oldman' who sought to maintain the original characteristics of the Silver Haze lineage before it underwent significant genetic changes in commercial breeding programs. This preservation effort has resulted in a strain that many enthusiasts consider a living relic of cannabis history, offering a glimpse into the genetics that were popular during the late 1990s cannabis culture.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light to medium green in color with a generous coating of silvery-white trichomes that give the strain its name. The flowers often display vibrant orange pistils that contrast beautifully against the frosty background. The plant structure is typically tall and lanky with long internodal spacing, consistent with its sativa heritage. The leaves are narrow and light green, with some phenotypes showing slight purple hues in cooler temperatures.
Oldman's Silver Haze 98 is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, spicy notes with citrus undertones. The smoke is generally described as smooth with a flavor that evolves from spicy and peppery on the inhale to sweet and citrusy on the exhale. The effects are characteristically cerebral and uplifting, making it a daytime strain that many users report provides creative stimulation without excessive sedation. Due to its preservation status, this strain is considered relatively rare in commercial markets and is primarily circulated among preservationists and connoisseurs.

Oldman's Silver Haze 98 Strain Growing Information
Oldman's Silver Haze 98 is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and longer flowering time. The plants typically require 10-12 weeks of flowering time indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and can reach heights of 2-3 meters if not trained. Indoor growers should expect plants to reach 1.5-2 meters and should employ training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from proper air circulation to prevent mold. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants are relatively resistant to pests but can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions.
