Silver Dog Haze
Also known as: Silver Dog, SDH
Silver Dog Haze Strain Overview
Silver Dog Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the collaboration of several West Coast breeders. The strain combines classic Haze genetics with modern breeding techniques to create a balanced yet potent sativa experience. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it's generally accepted that Silver Dog Haze was developed through selective breeding of Haze varieties with other sativa-leaning genetics to enhance its cerebral effects while maintaining manageable growth characteristics.
The strain is named for its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, elongated buds covered in a generous coating of silvery-white trichomes that give the flowers a frosted, almost metallic sheen. The nugs are typically medium to large in size with a conical structure, displaying vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking visual contrast against the silver trichome coverage.
Silver Dog Haze is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile and long-lasting cerebral effects. The strain has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its ability to deliver energetic, creative effects without the anxiety sometimes associated with pure sativa varieties. Its balanced genetics make it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on individual tolerance and dosage.

Silver Dog Haze Strain Growing Information
Silver Dog Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late October outdoors in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm indoors and 200-250 cm outdoors. Growers should provide adequate vertical space and consider training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as Silver Dog Haze can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants respond well to organic growing methods and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration and terpene production.
