Super Chrystal
Also known as: Super Crystal
Super Chrystal Strain Overview
Super Chrystal is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the classic White Widow with the potent Northern Lights #5. This combination results in a plant that inherits the resin production and uplifting qualities of White Widow alongside the relaxing, full-bodied effects of Northern Lights. The strain emerged in the late 1990s or early 2000s, gaining popularity among growers for its resilience and among users for its well-rounded experience. It is considered a foundational strain in some breeding programs due to its desirable traits.
The plant is characterized by dense, conical buds that are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving it a 'frosted' appearance that inspired its name. The buds often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils. The foliage tends to be broad, reflecting its indica heritage. Super Chrystal is noted for its robust growth structure and generous resin output, making it a favorite for hash and extract production.
Notable features include its adaptability to various growing conditions and its relatively short flowering time compared to some pure sativas. The strain maintains a reputation for consistency in effect and flavor profile when grown properly. While not as widely commercialized as some modern hybrids, it retains a following among connoisseurs and home growers who appreciate classic genetics.

Super Chrystal Strain Growing Information
Super Chrystal is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8 to 9 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants in the Northern Hemisphere are typically ready for harvest by late September to early October. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, preferring a temperate, Mediterranean-like climate if cultivated outside.
Indoor yields are typically around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plant tends to be of medium height, often staying between 1 to 1.5 meters tall, making it manageable for indoor spaces. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to increase yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining good airflow to prevent mold due to its dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as it can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plant is generally resistant to common pests and diseases, contributing to its reputation for resilience.
