Super Nova
Also known as: Supernova
Super Nova Strain Overview
Super Nova is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2000s from California's cannabis breeding scene. It represents a carefully selected cross between two legendary parent strains, combining their most desirable traits into a single cultivar.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically feature deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones, complemented by a generous coating of frosty white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure indicative of its indica-dominant heritage. Super Nova plants tend to produce a strong, pungent aroma that fills the surrounding space.
Super Nova has established itself as a favorite among both recreational and medicinal users due to its well-rounded effects. The strain is noted for providing a powerful yet balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. Its popularity has remained consistent over the years, though it is not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, making it somewhat of a connoisseur's choice in many cannabis markets.

Super Nova Strain Growing Information
Super Nova is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Super Nova responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during the final flowering stages.
