Super Silver Star
Also known as: Super Silver Star OG, SSS
What is the Super Silver Star strain?
Super Silver Star is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Super Silver Star is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the crossbreeding of two well-established strains. The strain was developed by combining the genetics of Super Silver Haze, a sativa-dominant classic known for its cerebral effects and citrusy aroma, with an indica-dominant OG Kush phenotype, which contributes to its relaxing body effects and earthy, piney flavor profile. This strategic breeding aimed to create a balanced hybrid that offers both mental stimulation and physical relaxation, making it popular among users seeking a versatile experience.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, often displaying a frosty coating of trichomes that gives them a silver appearance, hence the "Silver" in its name. The buds usually feature a mix of deep green and purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense flower structure. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, characteristic of its hybrid heritage. Super Silver Star has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets, though it remains less widely documented than its parent strains.
Notable features of Super Silver Star include its complex aroma profile that combines elements from both parent strains, as well as its relatively balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain has been noted for its resilience during cultivation and consistent performance across different growing environments. While not as historically significant as some landrace strains, Super Silver Star represents the continued evolution of cannabis breeding toward targeted effect profiles and enhanced cultivation characteristics.

How do you grow Super Silver Star?
Super Silver Star is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. 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 both indoors and outdoors, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield and manage height. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
