Super Lemon Haze Strain: Complete Guide to the Two-Time Cannabis Cup Champion
The Super Lemon Haze strain is a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup champion (2008 and 2009) that defines the premium sativa experience. Arjan from Green House Seeds combined three legendary parent strains to create something genuinely exceptional.
Genetics & Background
Super Lemon Haze was created by Arjan from Green House Seeds using Super Silver Haze, Lemon Skunk, Skunk #1, and Haze. This 80:20 sativa-dominant hybrid carries THC of 20-25%.
Terpenes
Super Lemon Haze's six-terpene profile: limonene, linalool, caryophyllene, terpinolene, pinene, and myrcene. Six-terpene complexity explains the strain's layered, nuanced experience.
Appearance
Super Lemon Haze almost looks lemony — bright, neon-like lemonish green leaves made all-the-more shiny by an especially crystalline trichome coating.
Aroma & Flavor
Pungent, skunky, and distinctively citrusy and sweet. The taste is a lemon tart with earthy undertones — one of the most immediately satisfying flavor profiles in the sativa category.
Effects
Super Lemon Haze opens a valve into your mind: creativity, imagination, introspection, euphoria, and all-around joy flood in together. It's like becoming a kid again but with the maturity to fully appreciate the gift of that state.
Medicinal Benefits
- Depression & anxiety — benefits mental health patients most powerfully in moderate doses
- Chronic fatigue — the energy boost combats side effects of medications and chemotherapy
- Appetite stimulation — powerful munchies benefit those with clinical appetite loss
- Chronic pain — the higher THC count provides direct analgesic effects
