Super Silver Malawi
Also known as: Super Silver Malawi Haze
Super Silver Malawi Strain Overview
Super Silver Malawi is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing two legendary sativa lineages: Super Silver Haze and Malawi Gold. This strain represents a fusion of Dutch breeding excellence with African landrace genetics, resulting in a potent, cerebral sativa with complex terpene profiles and energetic effects. The combination brings together Super Silver Haze's award-winning genetics (itself a cross of Haze, Northern Lights #5, and Skunk #1) with the pure African sativa heritage of Malawi Gold, one of the most prized landrace strains from southeastern Africa.
The strain typically produces elongated, spear-shaped buds with vibrant green coloration and occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The flowers are covered in a generous layer of trichomes and orange pistils, giving them a frosty appearance. Super Silver Malawi is known for its complex aroma profile that blends earthy, spicy notes from its African heritage with the citrus and pine characteristics inherited from its Haze lineage. The smoke is generally smooth with a sweet, spicy aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
Notable features include its extended flowering time, which is characteristic of pure sativa genetics, and its tall, lanky growth structure that requires careful training and space management. The strain has gained popularity among sativa enthusiasts for its clear-headed, uplifting effects that provide mental stimulation without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely available as some commercial hybrids, Super Silver Malawi has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and distinctive effects profile.

Super Silver Malawi Strain Growing Information
Super Silver Malawi is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, recommended for experienced growers. The flowering time is typically 10-12 weeks indoors and late October to November outdoors. Plants can reach heights of 2-3 meters (6.5-10 feet) outdoors and 1.5-2 meters (5-6.5 feet) indoors, requiring significant vertical space. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care: 400-500 grams per square meter indoors and 500-800 grams per plant outdoors. The strain prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires careful training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height and maximize light penetration. Plants are sensitive to overfeeding and require careful nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase. The sativa-dominant structure means longer internodal spacing and less lateral branching than indica varieties.
