Using a Super Silver Grail Haze male gifted to us by our internet friend “has_some_sense”, we pollenated the famous Genius clone to create this monster hybrid.
The SSGH male is the result of our friend’s having crossed his keeper Cinderella 99, the female dubbed "The Grail" to a very select Super Silver Haze male. The result of recombining these genes unlocked a real jewel; this male added potency, vigorous growth, and large, strong branches to the progeny.
In our testing, 2/3 of the population remained true to the Genius clone; displaying more compact structure and heavy colas. The remaining 1/3 of the plants expressed a much larger structure and more elongated floral development. The aromas range from the spicy, lime/citrus, fuel of Genius (but amplified) while the shorter phenotypes smell of tropical fruit, elderberries, black currents and a mildly influenced haze afternote.
They all taste as they smell and all produce very resinous, large flowers. The high is very energetic with no anxiety and no crash, the perfect active weed with a very sharp head.
- Flowering Time: We recommend 63-70 days of 12/12 flowering.
- Morphology: Mostly Sativa with two major phenotypes: one third of the population is compact in stature, short, bushy, medium-stretch plants, while the other third are tall and lanky. They both yield extremely well and have delicious flavors, so it comes down to your personal preference when the time comes to choosing a mother plant.
- How Does it Smoke? The smoke is saccharine sweet, with citrus and tropical fruit notes over that classic Haze flavor. The high is intense...it cuts through whatever you’d been smoking before.
- Growing Notes: We recommend growing Apollo Haze in its natural, single-dominant-cola shape, supported with a central stake. Support for the branches is also recommended, as they do pack on the weight.
- Yield: A 72-inch-tall plant yields 6-8 ounces. Heavy yield.
- Lineage: Genius female x Cinderella 99/Super Silver Haze male.
Strain FAQ
Do environmental conditions affect lime flavour strength?
Absolutely. Plant parameters are definitely said to affect lime flavour intensity. Terpene production depends on soil pH, temperature, and solar exposure, which affects lime flavour.
What makes the flowering period of Haze strains so long?
Haze flowers take 14 weeks or more. Many consider this long flowering period a rite of passage and is a result of their pure sativa heritage. This characteristic makes things difficult, but it's what makes the strains so popular.
Why do tall strains generally have extended flowering times?
Tall cannabis strains flower longer due to their usually Sativa genetics. This elongated flowering process is said to allow for more complex flavours and powerful cannabis characteristics. They typically flower for 10–14 weeks, unlike shorter, Indica-dominant strains.
