Super Haze
Also known as: Super Haze #1, Super Silver Haze
Super Haze Strain Overview
Super Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the 1990s as part of the Haze family's evolution. The strain is widely recognized as a descendant of the original Haze varieties developed in California during the 1970s, though its exact genetic lineage has been subject to some debate among cannabis historians. Most sources indicate it was created by crossing various Haze phenotypes with other sativa strains to enhance potency and reduce flowering time while maintaining the characteristic cerebral effects of classic Haze varieties. The strain gained popularity in Amsterdam coffee shops during the late 1990s and early 2000s, where it became known for its energetic and creative effects.
Super Haze plants typically exhibit classic sativa characteristics with tall, slender structures, long internodal spacing, and narrow, light green leaves. The buds are elongated and airy with a moderate to heavy coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The flowers often display orange to rust-colored pistils that contrast with the pale green foliage. The strain's aroma is complex and distinctive, combining earthy, spicy notes with citrus and pine undertones that become more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features of Super Haze include its relatively long flowering period compared to modern hybrids and its reputation for producing clear-headed, uplifting effects that many users describe as energizing without being overwhelming. The strain has been influential in the development of numerous other Haze varieties and remains popular among sativa enthusiasts who appreciate its traditional characteristics. While not as widely cultivated commercially as some modern hybrids, Super Haze maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs and home growers.

Super Haze Strain Growing Information
Super Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns and longer flowering time. The plants typically require 10-12 weeks of flowering indoors, though some phenotypes may take up to 14 weeks. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors.
Indoor growers should expect plants to stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching heights of 150-200cm (5-6.5 feet) or more. Training techniques like topping, low-stress training (LST), or screen of green (SCROG) are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants produce moderate to high yields when given adequate space and nutrients, with indoor yields typically ranging from 400-600 grams per square meter.
Super Haze requires good air circulation and careful monitoring for pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a longer vegetative period to develop strong root systems. Growers should be prepared for the extended flowering time and should monitor trichome development closely to determine optimal harvest time.
