Silver Haze
Also known as: Silver, Silver Haze #9
What is the Silver Haze strain?
Silver Haze is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Silver Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the 1990s from the Netherlands, bred by the Sensi Seeds company. It was created by crossing Haze, a classic sativa strain known for its cerebral effects, with Northern Lights #5, a potent indica that contributes to its resin production and flowering characteristics. The strain gained popularity for its balanced effects that combine mental stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for daytime use.
The strain is named for its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, elongated buds covered in a thick layer of silver-white trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, metallic sheen. The buds typically display vibrant green coloration with occasional orange pistils. Silver Haze plants are known for their tall, lanky structure characteristic of sativa genetics, often requiring more vertical space than indica varieties.
Silver Haze has maintained popularity over decades due to its reliable effects and relatively straightforward cultivation compared to some pure sativa strains. It represents an important bridge between classic landrace sativas and modern hybrid breeding, preserving the cerebral qualities of traditional Haze while incorporating the resin production and faster flowering times of Northern Lights genetics.
