Shining Silver Haze Strain Overview
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.

Shining Silver Haze Strain Growing Information
This strain is suited for both indoor and outdoor gardens, with plants reaching heights of about 1 meter indoors and over 2 meters outdoors due to its predominantly sativa genetics. The flowering period is 9-11 weeks with harvest typically in late October for outdoor grows. Shining Silver Haze is a relatively good yielder, producing around 600-650 grams per plant outdoors and up to 600-650 gr/m² indoors under proper lighting. When grown outdoors, this strain requires warm climates with plenty of sunlight. The strain is considered an improvement over traditional haze varieties as the indica crossbreeding resulted in tighter, denser colas and an easier plant to manage in grows. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and is suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators.
