Shining Silver Haze is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain renowned for its uplifting effects, sweet flavors, and short flowering time. It features original Haze genetics crossed with a unique Northern Lights and Skunk hybrid.
This strain produces very typical sativa-like effects. It will produce an almost instant “head high” characterized by strong cerebral stimulation, deep, possibly even racing thoughts. Many users find this strain very stimulating, allowing them to focus on creative projects, detailed tasks, making it ideal for daytime use or for social situations like parties and get-togethers. Most users report feeling euphoric, happy, talkative and focused even after small amounts. Shining Silver Haze is extremely potent, boasting THC levels of up to 21%.
Medical patients turn to Shining Silver Haze for fast-acting relief from stress or depression. Others also love it as a mood enhancer, especially since the strain produces little-to-no physical effects, making it ideal for relaxing but staying active and productive.
The flavors and aromas of this strain are dominated by beautiful sweet notes that make for a very enjoyable, smooth smoke. Some users may also pick out subtle grassy, earthy, or even woody aromas.
This strain is suited for both indoor and outdoor gardens. However, given its predominantly sativa genetics, the plant is known to reach heights of about 1 meter indoors and over 2 meters outdoors. While these heights may still be challenging for some growers, they’re a decent step down from the original Haze, which can reach heights of over 3 meters. When grown outdoors, this strain calls for warm climates with plenty of sunlight.
Shining Silver Haze is a relatively good yielder, producing around 600-650 grams per plant outdoors and up to 600 gr/m2 indoors under a 600w lamp. The average flowering time for this strain is roughly 9-11 weeks, which is very short for a Haze variety, which are known to take up to 16 weeks to reach harvest.
The buds from this strain are long and wispy, typical of a sativa. They are usually light green in color with beautiful orange hues. As with any quality strain, these buds will also be covered in a thick layer of trichomes.
