Shining Silver Haze is Royal Queen Seeds’ tribute to one of the first great Haze hybrids. The original Haze was born in the 1970s from landrace sativas gathered from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and South India. When those genetics reached Holland, breeders blended them with Skunk and Northern Lights to capture the sweet taste and soaring high of Haze with a much shorter flowering time.
Royal Queen Seeds’ version, built on Haze x (Skunk x Northern Lights), is a 75% sativa / 25% indica feminized photoperiod with THC up to 21% and medium CBD. She has twice won the Bio Haze category at the Highlife Cannabis Cup.
Unusually for a Haze, she stays compact indoors at 3 to 4 feet (90–120 cm), and yields are massive: 21 to 23 oz/m² (595–650 g/m²) under strong lighting. Outdoors, she reaches 6 to 7 feet (185–215 cm) and produces 21 to 23 oz/plant (595–650 g/plant), ready in late October.
Her bloom takes just 60 to 70 days (about 9 to 10 weeks), a short window for a sativa that delivers the full Haze experience.
Flavor and Effects of Shining Silver Haze
The smoke is super sweet, with bright citrus and ripe fruit layered over an earthy base and a fresh pine finish. It is the kind of flavor that makes you reach for the jar again just to smell it.
The high is instant and goes straight to the head. A wave of cerebral, contemplative energy arrives first, then builds into a heavy, immersive Haze that wraps you in thought. It feels like watching sunlight shimmer on a silver lake: dreamy, bright and deeply absorbing.
With up to 21% THC, she is a strong sativa experience to savor when you have time to sink into it.
Growing Shining Silver Haze Feminized Seeds
Shining Silver Haze needs plenty of light to reach her potential, so powerful lamps pay off indoors. Her manageable height makes her easier to handle than most Haze strains, and topping plus a SCROG net help her fill the canopy with long, silvery colas.
Outdoors, she prefers regions with long, warm summers and lots of sun. Give her room, steady nutrients and good airflow, and expect a late October harvest of heavy, resin-frosted buds.
