Silver Haze is a well-known strain name from the Haze family, frequently mentioned when it comes to classic cannabis genetics and striking scent notes. In this strain profile, we classify Silver Haze objectively: where does the genetics come from, how is the aroma typically described, and how does the strain differ from products such as CBD liquids with a Silver Haze aroma?
Silver Haze: Origin and Genetics
Silver Haze is a strain name from the environment of classic Haze lines. It usually refers to a Sativa-leaning strain associated with a pale, silvery shimmering resin look and a spicy to citrusy aroma. The name combines “Silver” for the visual impression of the resinous flowers and “Haze” for the strain family.
Silver Haze is not always used consistently. It often also refers to Super Silver Haze, which appears in many descriptions as the defining variant of the name. So Silver Haze does not describe a plant defined identically everywhere, but rather a classification within the Haze family. How Sativa and Indica traits fundamentally differ is explained in our article on the difference between Sativa and Indica.
The Super Variant: Haze, Skunk and Northern Lights
Super Silver Haze is attributed a cross of Haze, Skunk and Northern Lights. The strain became known in the Netherlands in the 1990s. This combination links a rather Sativa-leaning Haze structure with lines that bring more compact growth and denser buds. Such information is lore from the strain scene, not fixed formulas; depending on the line, selection and phenotype, Silver Haze turns out differently.
Aroma and Terpene Profile
The aroma of Silver Haze is often described as fresh, citrusy and green. At the top, the notes are reminiscent of citrus peel, light herbs or a slightly tart freshness. Underneath there is often a spicy depth reminiscent of pepper, dry herbs or a subtle earthiness.
Terpenes are natural aroma compounds that contribute to the scent and taste profile of many plants. In the Haze profile, they shape citrusy, resinous, herbal or spicy impressions. Here we view them purely as fragrance and flavour compounds.
Classification within the Haze Family
Silver Haze belongs to a large group of strains with Haze in the name that developed over decades from early Sativa crosses. An overview of the origin and characteristics of the whole line is given in the article on Haze strains. Haze lines are considered tall-growing with long side shoots and a comparatively long flowering phase, since cannabis, as a short-day plant, only flowers as days get shorter, and the flowering timing varies genetically.
Within the family, Amnesia Haze is a close relative with a similarly citrusy, spicy profile. A different accent is set by Purple Haze, known mainly for its purple flower colour.
