We will also lift the veil of mystery and find out why, after more than three decades since its inception, this strain remains a global favorite among fans of sativa hybrids.

Genetics and Characteristics

Super Lemon Haze is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (80/20) hybrid with a high THC content of 18-22%. This strain was first developed in the late 90s by Dutch company Green House Seeds by crossing Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. In addition to its undeniably vibrant flavors and powerful uplifting effects, Super Lemon Haze stands out for its amazing yield potential, reaching up to 800 g/m² (28 oz) indoors and up to 1200 g (42 oz) [!] per plant outdoors by mid-October. Plants have a classic sativa structure of remarkable proportions, with wide internodes covered in compact, light-green nuggets adorned with large, sticky trichomes and accented by orange stigmas. If you enjoy experimenting with concentrates and edibles, this sativa hybrid will provide a generous source of resin for concentrates, hashish, and edibles.

Flavor and Aroma

After the buds are dried, cured and crushed, they reveal the same sweet musk, juicy lemons, vanilla, pine, ripe fruits and spicy herbs, creating one of the most distinctive and recognizable compositions in the world of modern cannabis breeding. The intensity of the flavor matches that of the aroma, with striking floral, citrus, earthy and hashy undertones complemented by a hint of sandalwood and cedar.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Super Lemon Haze is a great alternative to an invigorating morning espresso, charging you with an unstoppable sativa energy that will last all day. Every task is achievable, and every problem is solvable when you feel the green fire of Super Lemon Haze blazing inside you! This hybrid unleashes creative, communicative and imaginative abilities, and its strong social aspect ensures you won't bore anyone with your conversation.

With a complex terpene profile and high CBD content of up to 3%, the strain has significant potential for treating a range of psychological and emotional conditions, including stress and depression. It also provides gentle and effective relief from fatigue, pain, and muscle spasms.

Cultivation

Super Lemon Haze thrives in warm, moderate climates with long summers due to its extended outdoor flowering period. Despite the strain's high resistance to common pests and diseases, it's a good practice to take precautions with organic insecticides and fungicides. Maintain a regular watering and feeding schedule while monitoring pH and ppm levels. Given the intense aroma of the flowering buds, plant the seedlings (once they are sturdy enough) in a secluded spot away from prying eyes, or consider a guerrilla growing.

When growing indoors, the unique and pungent skunk-like aroma you'll undoubtedly notice in the pre-flowering stage can be addressed by installing a powerful ventilation system equipped with a heavy-duty carbon filter. Use full-spectrum LED boards running on an 18/6 lighting regime during the vegetative phase, switching to 12/12 for the start of flowering. Plants tend to double in size during this time, so take this into consideration if space is limited. Techniques such as LST, FIM, bending, cropping, SoG/ScrOG can help create an open and manageable plant profile. When using mineral-based nutrients and supplements, perform a thorough root flush 1-2 weeks before harvest to remove built-up salts.
