Heisenberg Shatter Super Lemon Haze

Glassy and translucent, this shatter from Heisenberg takes its name from Super Lemon Haze, a strain that Leafly, AllBud and its breeder all trace to Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze.

Green House Seeds and two Cannabis Cups

Leafly credits Super Lemon Haze to Green House Seeds, calls it a sativa-dominant hybrid and counts two Cannabis Cup wins to its name. Our Super Lemon Haze guide places those wins in consecutive years, 2008 and 2009. Two later strains, Wasabi and Bob Hope, appear on Leafly as its offspring.

The breeder’s catalogue carries it as well: Green House Seed Co. includes Super Lemon Haze (Feminised) among its feminised seeds and gives the cross as Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze.

AllBud’s Washington origin story and a 2014 Seattle prize

AllBud says the strain originated in Washington, and Olympia Mike is one of the two local growers it names. AllBud also records a first place in a sativa category at the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup, and it notes a following on the US West Coast and in British Columbia. Its tasting note covers aroma and flavour together: tart, zesty lemon with sweet, candy-like notes.

Snaps when cold, dabbed or crumbled

Shatter is a see-through extract with a glassy body that snaps once chilled. People usually dab it or break off small shards to crumble over flower. Our explainer on what shatter is goes into its production, strength and use.

One of four extracts Health Canada names

On its page about lowering your risks, Health Canada picks out shatter as an example of a high-THC extract, together with wax, hash and kief, and it steers first-time and occasional consumers away from that whole group. Whether it is dabbed or smoked over flower, shatter is inhaled, and Health Canada says inhaled cannabis kicks in within seconds or minutes, with the strongest point coming as late as half an hour in.
