Haze; this particular strain is without a doubt one that is highly known to many for its deep psychedelic effects, and it refers specifically to a Sativa-dominant strain. The Haze strains have a very high level of THC. So much, in fact, that for many users, they will sometimes refer to this strain as an "ampheta-weed". This is because it has such an energetic and uplifting quality to it. Many people have reported wanting to go out to clubs and dance all night, or talk to their friends all night after lighting up with a Haze strain. Haze strains tend to have a much longer flowering period; however, in some cases it can be double that of an Indica strain and it is rarely seen in its pure Haze form. Breeders instead will choose to make hybrid strains based off of it. There are numerous subset strains of Haze that you can find on the market; one in particular is Shining Silver Haze.

Shining Silver Haze is Haze crossbred with Northern Lights and Skunk. This is perfect mix of quality strains with a sought after outcome. The “silver” in the name is due to the large amount of very shiny THC glands that appear to completely cover the buds. Some say that it has a nice citrus scent, where others compare it to berries. The high is noted as being very “stony,” not too heavy of a relaxer, but with a sense of peace and tranquility.

As a grower, you will find that it takes around nine weeks to flower, compared to the normal fourteen weeks of a pure Haze. As this plant is Sativa dominant, the buds produced are not considered to be dense and they are not thought of as airy. They’re completely frosted with glistening trichomes with a flavor thought to be similar to strawberries, brown sugar and cherries. A typical grow will yield 35 grams, or sometimes 45 grams per plant. It is considered to be a relatively short plant, but if grown outside it can reach over 6 feet, depending on your location.

For those who prefer the satisfaction and the control of growing their own aromatic smokable herb, seeds can be obtained that are specifically Shining Silver Haze. Feminized seeds can be purchased from a number of locations, if the country in which you reside does not discriminate against it. A feminized seed is exactly as the name implies. The seeds are designed to produce a female plant. A female plant is ideal for the majority of growers because it is the females which produce the bud, which is what cannabis users smoke.

Royal Queen Seeds is a very popular seed bank specializing in specific strains of cannabis. They have an online site with extremely detailed product descriptions and buyer reviews, so you know ahead of time the best decision to make for your purchases. This way, there is no need to waste time growing plants only to find out that they are males when it comes time to flower. You can specifically order feminized seeds. Be aware that, even one single male plant in the room can produce pollen which will cause your females to begin producing seeds, instead of concentrating their energy on producing flowers to bud. If you are a seller of cannabis, you are probably already aware that a bag with a lot of seeds is not desired by the customer. When cannabis is sold by the weight, the seeds add more weight, and your customer desires to have that weight in the bud, not from the seeds.

From a medical marijuana point of view, Shining Silver Haze is thought to be a perfect strain that you seek out when you need a strong, pleasant high. The Shining Silver Haze strain is mostly Sativa-dominant cannabis. So, you will find it has more of an uplifting and energetic high, compared to an Indica dominant strain, which will tend to induce more of a droopy eyed feeling. This is why patients who might be suffering from pain, nausea, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, glaucoma, migraines and anxiety in general, they tend to turn to Shining Silver Haze to ease their situation into a more pleasant time.

So when it comes to smoking a really pleasant feeling, great tasting marijuana bud, or if you are a grower who desires a really beautiful and powerful plant, the wise choice would seem to be Shining Silver Haze.
