How to grow Silver Buddha Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Super Silver Haze crossed with Super Lemon Haze gives Silver Buddha Haze a stable, potent lineage two generations deep in haze genetics. She stretches, so give her the headroom, and her indica side means a heavier harvest than most haze strains manage. A genuine social smoke, and third prize at the 2017 Castelló Cannabis Cup.
Where it comes from
Sumo Seeds stacked haze on haze here: Super Silver Haze crossed with Super Lemon Haze, which is itself Super Silver Haze bred to Lemon Skunk. That makes Super Silver Haze — Haze over Skunk #1 — the recurring name on both sides of the family, two generations deep. The intent was a stable, potent haze rather than a temperamental one, and by the record's account they managed it: little to no variation between phenotypes, which is no small thing in a haze line. It took third prize in the outdoor category at the II Castelló Cannabis Cup in 2017.
Nose & flavour
The record keeps the specifics of the nose to itself, so the lineage must speak. A double dose of haze runs through her, with Lemon Skunk sitting one generation back on the Super Lemon Haze side — which points toward the bright, sharp, faintly citric aromatics the haze family is known for. Expect something lively and sativa-forward rather than sweet or heavy; a haze nose, in short, doing what a haze nose does.
The high
A genuinely social smoke, by the breeder's framing — the sort for a night in with company and conversation rather than solitude. The effect is described as very potent, the stability of the cross meaning it arrives the same way each time. Being a haze at heart it leans cerebral and talkative, though the indica contribution keeps it from running away with itself entirely.
Growing it
THC is recorded at roughly 22.5%, with only a trace of CBD at 0.07%. She flowers over ten to eleven weeks and reaches 120–150cm, yielding 450–500 g/m². She tends to stretch, so give her room before flowering rather than after. The useful trick of this cross is her indica inheritance: it brings the harvest in heavier than a straight haze usually manages, without costing her the haze character. Stable across phenotypes too, which makes her a forgiving haze to run for a plant type not always known for cooperation.
