What is Super Silver Haze?
Super Silver Haze, often shortened to SSH, is a sativa-dominant strain from Green House Seeds. The breeder says Arjan Roskam created it at the end of the 1990s by crossing Skunk, Northern Lights and Haze. The Skunk and Northern Lights were added to raise yield and shorten Haze's long flowering time while keeping its sativa taste. Green House rates it 70% sativa and 30% indica.
It made its reputation at the High Times Cannabis Cup. Green House lists 1st place in the hydro category in 1997 and 1st place in 1998 and 1999, and Leafly also records it as a 1st-prize winner in all 3 years. Leafly lists Super Lemon Haze and Super Sour Diesel among its offspring. For more on older strains like this, see the legacy strains guide.
Look, smell and taste
Green House describes a plant with Haze's strong stretch and vivid green leaves, with the Skunk side adding big, chunky flowers covered in resin. Leafly calls it a beautiful, sticky strain.
On the inhale, Green House describes a strong Haze note with pine and wood, and smoke that leaves what it calls a church smell in the room. On the exhale it notes sweetness from the Skunk and light metallic notes from the Northern Lights. Leafly reviewers most often pick citrus, skunk and earthy. Green House names myrcene, limonene and alpha-pinene as the main terpenes, while Leafly's lab data shows myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene. The cannabis terpenes guide covers these compounds.
Effects people report
Leafly describes an energetic, long-lasting high, and its reviewers most often tag Super Silver Haze as energetic, uplifted and focused. Green House calls the high instant and strong and says it keeps you active for a long time. The most common negatives on Leafly are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness.
Read these as reports, not predictions: they are crowd-sourced rather than tested. Health Canada's consumer information notes that everyone's response to cannabis differs, and that immediate effects can include anxiety, panic and paranoia as well as euphoria. For medical questions, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
How strong is Super Silver Haze?
Published figures vary. Leafly lists 21% THC, while Green House lists 26.5% for its own seed line. THC varies by batch, so go by the label on the product you buy. Canada's Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines link higher THC potency with more acute and long-term problems.
Strains similar to Super Silver Haze
Haze is the obvious comparison, since it is a parent of Super Silver Haze. Jack Herer is built from similar pieces: Leafly's Jack Herer page says Sensi Seeds combined a Haze hybrid with a cross of Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk, and its reviewers also tag it energetic, focused and creative.
