About Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze was created by Green House Seeds by crossing Lemon Skunk with their own Super Silver Haze. The result was an instant classic — the sharp, zesty lemon-citrus punch of Lemon Skunk layered over the soaring Sativa high of Super Silver Haze. The buds are light green and elongated with a thick coat of trichomes. The aroma is intensely lemon-forward with notes of sweet citrus, earth, and spice. Super Lemon Haze effects are energizing and creative with a clear-headed euphoria that makes it one of the best daytime strains ever created. The strain won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2008 and 2009, a back-to-back achievement that cemented its place in history.

The Story & Lineage Origin

Green House Seeds released Super Lemon Haze in 2008 and it won the High Times Cannabis Cup that year — and again in 2009, a rare back-to-back victory. The strain became Green House's best-selling strain and was responsible for popularizing the 'lemon' category of cannabis flavors.

Before Super Lemon Haze, citrus terps were relatively rare; afterwards, every breeder was searching for lemon and citrus phenotypes. The strain's influence can be seen in virtually every lemon-forward strain on the market today, from Lemon Cherry Gelato to Super Boof.
