SSH F4
Also known as: Super Silver Haze F4, Super Silver Haze Fourth Generation
SSH F4 Strain Overview
SSH F4 is a stabilized fourth-generation phenotype of the legendary Super Silver Haze strain, originally developed by Green House Seeds. This sativa-dominant hybrid represents a refined version of the award-winning original, which claimed first place in the 1997, 1998, and 1999 High Times Cannabis Cups. The 'F4' designation indicates this is the fourth filial generation, meaning it has undergone four generations of selective breeding to stabilize desirable traits while maintaining genetic consistency.
The strain exhibits classic sativa characteristics with tall, slender plants featuring long internodes and narrow, serrated leaves. Buds are typically dense and resinous, displaying a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silver appearance, hence the 'Silver' in the name. The coloration ranges from bright green to lime green with occasional orange pistils. SSH F4 is renowned for its complex aroma profile that combines citrus, spice, and earthy undertones.
Notably, SSH F4 maintains the cerebral, uplifting effects of its predecessors while offering more predictable growth patterns and consistent cannabinoid profiles due to the stabilization process. This makes it particularly appealing to both cultivators seeking reliable genetics and consumers looking for a consistent experience. The strain has become a benchmark for quality sativa genetics in the cannabis community.

SSH F4 Strain Growing Information
SSH F4 is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate to advanced cultivators. Flowering time is 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach heights of 150-200cm indoors and over 250cm outdoors if not trained. Preferred growing conditions include warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity to prevent mold. Indoor yields average 450-550g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 600-800g per plant. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques to manage height and maximize yield. Requires good ventilation and spacing between plants due to its sativa structure and dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high during flowering.
