What is the Shining Silver Haze strain?
Shining Silver Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 21.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Shining Silver Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain renowned for its uplifting effects, sweet flavors, and relatively short flowering time. It is Royal Queen Seeds' version of the legendary Super Silver Haze, created through careful breeding to blend classic early 1970s Haze effects into a modern, high-potency strain that leads the new generation of Hazes. This strain features a genetic composition of 75% sativa and 25% indica genetics. The strain features original Haze genetics crossed with a unique Northern Lights and Skunk hybrid, bringing together three legendary cannabis varieties that form the backbone of modern cannabis breeding. The exceptional trichome production on Shining Silver Haze creates crystals that spill onto the sugar leaves scattered between the buds, with the glistening trichomes on the flower surface being responsible for the addition of 'shining' to the name. This genetics combination has proven successful, with related strains winning the High Times Cannabis Cup First Prize Award in 1997, 1998, and 1999, and Shining Silver Haze itself taking 1st Place at the Highlife Cup in both 2010 and 2014.
