Super Purple Haze
Also known as: Super Purple Haze #1, SPH
Super Purple Haze Strain Overview
Super Purple Haze is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern reinterpretation of the classic Purple Haze lineage. The strain was developed by crossing Purple Haze with a potent indica-dominant parent, though the exact genetics remain somewhat debated among cultivators. This combination creates a balanced hybrid that retains the cerebral qualities of its sativa heritage while incorporating more relaxing physical effects from its indica ancestry. The strain gained popularity in the early 2000s as breeders sought to enhance the original Purple Haze's characteristics while improving its cultivation traits.
Visually, Super Purple Haze is distinguished by its vibrant coloration, often displaying deep purple hues intermingled with bright green foliage and fiery orange pistils. The buds are typically dense and resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma profile is complex, combining sweet berry notes with earthy undertones and hints of spice. When properly cured, the flowers emit a pungent scent that carries both fruity and herbal characteristics.
Notable features of Super Purple Haze include its relatively fast flowering time compared to pure sativa strains and its adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has become particularly popular among home growers due to its manageable plant structure and reliable performance. While not as legendary as its Purple Haze parent, Super Purple Haze has established itself as a respected strain in its own right, offering a more balanced experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.

Super Purple Haze Strain Growing Information
Super Purple Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and develop a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
