Seb's take
Super Silver Haze crossed with Amnesia Haze, a stabilised cross that once made High Times' guide to the Earth's Strongest Strains after testing north of 20% THC. The old-school Amnesia lineage still shows in a nine-week finish, potency doing the talking where the record keeps its terpene details quiet.
Where it comes from
Super Silver Haze crossed with Amnesia Haze by Devils Harvest Seeds, a stabilised cross the record puts at 70 per cent sativa. The pedigree is decorated: the record has it entered into the 24th High Times Cannabis Cup as early as 2011, and featured the following year in the guide to Earth's Strongest Strains, where it was tested at 20.51 per cent THC. Two haze heavyweights, then, worked into one and stabilised with care before release.
Nose & flavour
On the terpene detail the record keeps quiet, offering no flavour notes for me to pass on, so I will let the potency and the pedigree do the talking instead. What can be said is that both parents, Super Silver Haze and Amnesia Haze, sit firmly in the classic, spicy-citrus haze tradition, but that is lineage rather than a description of this particular nose. On the specifics, the record stays sealed.
The high
Here too the record dwells on reputation rather than a catalogue of effects, and I will not invent one. What it does establish is the class of the thing: a nine-week phenotype of the legendary Amnesia Haze, pushed by the breeders into the upper reaches of potency at over 20 per cent THC, no small feat with a strain like this. The numbers, then, set the tone; the particulars, the record leaves to the smoker.
Growing it
Flowering runs 65 days, the record's nine-week Amnesia phenotype showing through in that timely finish. Height and yield go unrecorded here, so I will speak to temperament rather than guess: a stabilised haze cross of this pedigree tends to reward patience and space, though I offer that as inference. THC is recorded at 22 per cent, with the record's own testing noting 20.51 per cent. A standard grow with a decorated history behind it.
