Super Lemon Haze strain: every version compared

Which Super Lemon Haze should you grow?

Picking a Super Lemon Haze comes to room and timing.

Photoperiod or autoflower? Photoperiods give the full plant and the bigger yields; they run on a timer and take a little longer in bloom, 67–70 days, at top listed THC 20–26%. Autoflowers finish on their own clock from seed over 63–70 days, at a lower 19–20%, with no flip to time. For a first grow, an auto means one less thing to time.

How much headroom have you got? The autos are listed at 100–130 cm. The listings do not quote a height for the photoperiods, so if space is your deciding factor an auto is the surer bet: you can read its figure in the table.

Super Lemon Haze photoperiod (feminized)

The photoperiod versions are the full Super Lemon Haze: grown on a light schedule, 18 hours a day in veg and 12 to flower, and you get citrus-forward flower. They take a little longer in bloom, 67–70 days, true to the Haze side, with listed THC 20–26%. The listings here do not quote a height for the photoperiods, so judge them on flowering time and strength.

Super Lemon Haze autoflower

Super Lemon Haze comes autoflowering too, finishing on age with no light schedule to run: the citrus kept, the wait trimmed. There are 3 autos here, and they keep the bright, lemony character. Seed-to-harvest times run 63–70 days, quicker than the photoperiods. Heights are listed at 100–130 cm. Listed THC on the autos is lower, 19–20%, a notch below the photoperiods. Most fold Ruderalis onto the Super Lemon Haze base to set the clock; Original Sensible work from a Lemon 5 line instead. If it is your first grow and you want the lemon nose without a light schedule, the autos are the place to begin.

CBD Super Lemon Haze

2 Super Lemon Haze versions are bred the other way: THC eased back, CBD brought up to sit closer to it. On this page they land around 8 to 12% THC with CBD near 5 to 10%, so the effect stays lighter than the full-strength versions. The CBD auto runs about 63 days seed to harvest; the CBD photoperiod blooms in about 70 days. They suit someone who wants less of the hit. That is what growers report, not a promise from us. The difference is in the chemistry, not the grow.

How Super Lemon Haze grows

Super Lemon Haze is a bright sativa. Original Sensible flag one habit on their auto: it carries slightly larger internodes and inclines toward the leafy, so a little light training earns its keep, opening the canopy so the light reaches the buds that matter rather than getting lost in foliage.

The lemon comes with resin. Green House describe their feminized cut as resin-slicked, dripping enough frost to test the scissors, and tell you to keep the finish clean. That cut is listed at 800 g/m², the joint-biggest figure in the family with their CBD photoperiod, though it keeps its height off the record; the autos sit medium, listed at 100 to 130 cm. Herbies say their auto keeps the intense lemony character of her photoperiod parent while shedding the wait. Original Sensible's auto is the slowest, at 70 days from seed.

A couple of practical notes. Green House say their auto carries distinctly large colas that stretch out when grown outdoors, so give her a little extra room outside, and that the ruderalis makes it more resilient to changes in climate than a photoperiod would be, as well as freeing it from the light schedule. Original Sensible quote around 450 g/m² in a Sea of Green. So a Super Lemon Haze run comes down to the canopy, the finish and outdoor room for those colas.

Where Super Lemon Haze comes from

Super Lemon Haze has a documented origin, and the catalogue is consistent about it. The classic telling crosses Lemon Skunk with Super Silver Haze: both parents carrying citrus, as Green House Seeds put it. Herbies' listing credits the original to Franco Loja; the autoflowering versions arrived later to do the same job with less patience required, and CBD versions followed. Breeders quote her sativa-leaning throughout, usually around 70% sativa, which shows in the bright character the name is known for. Where a listing words the cross its own way, that wording stays on its version page.
