About Super Silver Haze
Super Silver Haze was bred by Shantibaba (later of Mr. Nice Seeds) while he was at Green House Seeds. The strain crosses Skunk #1, Northern Lights, and Haze to create the ultimate Haze hybrid: the soaring, psychedelic effects of Haze with the manageable flowering time and resin production of Skunk and Northern Lights. The buds are long and spear-shaped with a thick silver coating of trichomes — hence the name. The aroma is a complex blend of spicy Haze, sweet Skunk, and earthy Northern Lights with notes of citrus and incense. Super Silver Haze's effects are legendary for their energetic, creative, long-lasting sativa high that remains clear-headed and functional.

History
Super Silver Haze was bred by Shantibaba at Green House Seeds in Amsterdam. It won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, 1998, and 1999 — a three-peat unmatched in cup history. Shantibaba later left Green House to found Mr. Nice Seeds, taking the SSH genetics with him. The strain became the foundation of the modern Haze hybrid category and was used as a parent for Super Lemon Haze and Amnesia Haze, among hundreds of others. SSH remains one of the most celebrated and widely grown sativa hybrids in the world.
