We’re only halfway into 2024 and we’ve already lived a lifetime, America. We need the energy to persevere. We need some Super Silver Haze. (This Leafly HighLight is powered by ILGM+Phylos Seeds.)

Weed lovers who get shit done, go the extra mile, and keep the party going are powering a surge in the Super Silver Haze weed strain. All across the US in flowers, joints, and vape cartridges, Super Silver Haze has surged to become the No. 135 strains on US dispensary menus.

Breeder Green House Seeds built Super Silver Haze in the early ‘90s from a Haze chunked up by Skunk and Northern Lights. It’s green bud that smells woody, piney, and old-school—with clean, energizing effects that people like. The first reviews date to the origin of this site in 2010.

Super Silver Haze scores 4.4 out of 5 points after 2,359 ratings on Leafly. One reviewer states: “This is a top 3 sativa for me (next to Strawberry Cough and Jack Herer).”

SSH reviewers consistently report strong energy signals from this variety of high-THC weed.

More than a third of reviewers use it to deflect stress. About three in ten said it helps with anxiety and depression. The most commonly reported SSH effects are “happy”, “uplifted” and “euphoric.” If you’re feeling low, it makes sense to want to get high.

 “Bottom line: This strain saved my life,” states one reviewer.

ILGM is partnering with Phylos Bioscience to empower homegrowers to reach their fullest potential with genetically stable F1 Hybrid seeds. Using a data-driven approach, Phylos has deciphered the genome of the cannabis plant, helping them better understand the plant and be able to assess the beneficial properties of specific cannabis plants through genetic markers while breeding. Shop the Phylos collab line of cannabis seeds from ILGM in three categories: Elite, Premium, and Autoflower.

Super Silver Haze awards

Super Silver Haze started shining bright in the ‘90s with a string of High Times Cannabis Cup wins that cemented its reputation. 

Super Silver Haze terpenes

SSH has a distinctive woody, piney, skunky, earthy note that comes partially from its essential oils called terpenes. Lab tests labeled SSH have tended to lean to terpinolene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. After 20 years in the wild, individual batches can differ markedly.
