Super Zilar Haze
Also known as: Super Silver Haze, SSH
Super Zilar Haze Strain Overview
Super Zilar Haze, more commonly known as Super Silver Haze, is a multiple award-winning sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Green House Seeds in the 1990s. The strain's name appears to be a variant spelling or regional adaptation of the original 'Super Silver Haze,' which has become one of the most celebrated and influential sativa hybrids in cannabis history. It was created by crossing three legendary parent strains: Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze, combining the best characteristics of each to produce a potent and flavorful cultivar that has stood the test of time.
The strain is characterized by its tall, lanky sativa structure with long, slender buds that are typically light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that give it a 'silvery' appearance—hence the name. The buds are typically airy and elongated rather than dense, reflecting its sativa heritage. Super Silver Haze has won numerous awards, including first place in the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998, and 1999, cementing its status as a classic in the cannabis world.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and long-lasting cerebral effects. The strain is known for its vigorous growth and relatively long flowering time compared to modern hybrids. While 'Super Zilar Haze' appears to refer to the same genetic lineage as Super Silver Haze, the alternate spelling may indicate regional variations, specific phenotypes, or marketing adaptations by different breeders. The strain remains popular among both recreational users and medical patients seeking daytime relief without heavy sedation.

Super Zilar Haze Strain Growing Information
Super Silver Haze is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa-dominant growth patterns and longer flowering time. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high (400-500 grams per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit classic sativa characteristics: tall height (can reach 2-3 meters outdoors), long internodal spacing, and slender leaves. They prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and require ample vertical space indoors. Training techniques like topping, LST (low-stress training), or SCROG (screen of green) are recommended to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain is resistant to most common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Nutrient needs are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
