Silver Haze

Silver Haze was bred by Sensi Seeds in Amsterdam in the 1980s by crossing Original Haze with Northern Lights — the first practical domestication of Haze genetics. Pure Haze needed 16+ weeks to flower; Northern Lights shortened that window enough to make the strain commercially viable while preserving the cerebral, energetic sativa character that defines the Haze family. It won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1989 and went on to parent Lemon Haze (Lemon Skunk × Silver Haze) directly; Green House Seeds used the same genetic frame to develop Super Silver Haze by adding Skunk #1.

The terpene profile is Myrcene-dominant — a meaningful difference from Super Silver Haze, which is Terpinolene-leading. Myrcene gives Silver Haze a warmer, earthier, more grounded sativa quality: the onset is slower, the ceiling is lower, and the experience is more herbal and rounded than SSH's sharp-citrus Terpinolene character. Still a genuine daytime-only sativa — cerebral, mood-lifting, appropriate for creative work and social settings — but more approachable than the more demanding Haze descendants. For experienced consumers stepping toward the Haze family from strains like Blue Dream or Jack Herer.
