Genetics and Breeder
Super Lemon Haze seeds, produced by Green House Seeds, stand as one of the most celebrated strains in their catalog and the cannabis world at large. This award-winning strain, created at the end of the 2000s, is a hybrid cross of Lemon Skunk and the renowned Super Silver Haze. This combination blends the citrus-forward terpene profile and compact flowers of Lemon Skunk with the vigorous growth and high-yielding qualities of Super Silver Haze. Green House Seeds’ expertise in breeding has resulted in a stable feminized seed line that honors the legacy of these parent strains.
Cultivation Characteristics
Super Lemon Haze seeds develop into robust plants with a distinctive Christmas tree shape. The structure features long, steady secondary branches capable of supporting heavy, dense flowers. The plant is known for its vigorous stretch during flowering, often doubling its size, which requires some attention to manage height but rewards growers with generous yields. The flowers are compact and roundish, exhibiting larger calyxes than traditional Haze strains, resulting in thick buds covered in sparkling resin glands that catch the light like diamonds. This vigorous growth pattern suits both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Flavor Profile
The flavor of Super Lemon Haze is a vibrant and complex citrus explosion. The dominant notes are intense lemon, lime, and pink grapefruit, delivering a zesty and refreshing experience on the palate. This bright citrus profile is intertwined with earthy and musky undertones, accented by hints of incense and subtle black pepper. The combination of the Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze genetics creates a well-balanced, multi-layered taste that has earned Super Lemon Haze seeds a legendary status among flavor enthusiasts.
Aroma
Super Lemon Haze seeds produce plants with a distinctive and rich aroma that perfectly mirrors their flavor profile. Upon breaking apart the buds, the air is filled with sharp citrus scents reminiscent of lemon zest, complemented by pine freshness and woody undertones from the Haze lineage. This aromatic blend includes notable terpenes such as β-Caryophyllene, D-Limonene, and Terpinolene, which contribute to the strain’s complex bouquet. Some users detect a unique "cat piss" terpene note, which adds to its distinctive and memorable scent.
Awards and Recognition
Super Lemon Haze seeds have received numerous accolades, underscoring their prominence and consistent quality. Among its awards are multiple High Times Cannabis Cup victories, including 1st place in 2008 and 2009, as well as top honors in other prestigious competitions such as the IC420 Growers Cup in 2010 and the Seattle Medical Cup in 2012. These achievements reflect the strain’s exceptional genetics, flavor profile, and popularity worldwide.
