What is the The Super strain?
The Super is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
The Super is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its reliable effects and manageable cultivation characteristics. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2000s, likely developed by boutique breeders seeking to create a versatile daytime strain. The strain represents a careful genetic balancing act, though specific lineage details remain less documented than many commercial varieties.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure and notable resin production. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes. Leaves are often a darker green with subtle serrations, and the buds frequently display orange pistils that create visual contrast. The overall appearance suggests careful breeding for both aesthetic appeal and practical cultivation traits.
Notable features include its consistent performance across different growing environments and its reputation among cultivators for reliable yields. The strain has maintained a presence in certain cannabis circles despite not achieving widespread commercial distribution, valued particularly by growers who appreciate predictable plants with robust growth patterns. Its genetic stability makes it suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators seeking a low-maintenance hybrid.

How do you grow The Super?
The Super is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and potentially 5-7 feet outdoors with proper training. Yield is generally moderate to high, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-22 ounces per plant outdoors under optimal conditions.
This strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. It responds well to various training techniques including topping, low-stress training (LST), and screen of green (ScrOG) methods. The plants prefer stable temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding during vegetative growth. Outdoor cultivation is successful in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent sunlight and protection from excessive rain during flowering.
