Valencia Seeds – Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is one of those names that still means something. The sharp lemon smell is the easy bit to remember, but the reason it stuck around is the Haze sitting underneath it: pine, dry wood, spice, incense and a long, bright cerebral feel. Valencia Seeds – Super Lemon Haze is offered by Seed City Bulk Cannabis Seeds as feminised seeds.

The established genetics are Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze. That pairing explains the whole strain very neatly. Lemon Skunk brings the citrus punch, pungency and more compact flower structure, while Super Silver Haze brings the stretch, branching, resin, yield potential and classic Haze character. The original Super Lemon Haze was created by Green House Seed Company towards the end of the 2000s and quickly became a competition heavyweight, winning the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2008 and again in 2009 before taking further awards in the years that followed.

The original Green House classification is 70% sativa and 30% indica, and that fits the way the strain is known to grow and feel. Expect a vigorous, sativa-dominant style rather than a short, squat plant. The original line is also reported at 26.33% THC, 0.21% CBD and 1.15% CBN; Valencia does not publish a separate cannabinoid analysis for this release, so that figure is best understood as part of the established history of the strain family rather than a Valencia-specific test result.

A proper lemon Haze, not just a lemon strain

The aroma normally opens with fresh lemon zest, squeezed citrus and sharp lemon sweets. It can feel bright and almost fizzy at the top end. Then the Haze side comes through with pine, dry wood, spice and a more aromatic herbal depth. Some expressions of the original line have even been noted for a very sharp, penetrating “cat piss” edge, which gives a fair idea of how loud the terpene profile can become, though it won’t show in every plant.

The flavour follows a similar path. Lemon lands first and tends to dominate the palate, but it does not stay as simple sweet citrus. The finish becomes more resinous, woody and Haze-like, with that old-school pine and spice character giving the fruit more backbone. The key terpenes identified in the original Green House line are β-caryophyllene, D-limonene and terpinolene, which makes sense for a profile that mixes citrus brightness with pepper, pine, herbs and Haze complexity.

Growth and structure

Super Lemon Haze is a lively grower. The original is described as having a Christmas-tree shape, long sturdy side branches and a clear stretch once flowering starts. It can at least double in size during bloom, so it suits growers who are ready for a plant with genuine Haze vigour rather than something naturally compact.

The flowers show influence from both sides of the cross. Super Silver Haze gives the rounded, elongated Haze form, while Lemon Skunk helps add larger calyxes and better density than many more open Haze types. Mature flowers are known for sticky resin coverage and a sparkling trichome layer, without losing the sativa-influenced look.

The established indoor flowering reference for the original line is approximately 10 weeks. That is longer than many indica-heavy hybrids, but fairly practical for a strain carrying this much Haze character. Outdoor plants in suitable equatorial, tropical, subtropical or temperate climates are associated with mid-October maturation in the northern hemisphere, and the original line has been described as tall and potentially in need of support when branch and flower development become heavy.

Yield potential is one of the reasons this cross became so widely respected. Green House credits the Super Silver Haze parent with high-yielding flower development, while Lemon Skunk helps tighten the flower structure. Published figures for the original line reach up to 800 g/m² indoors and up to 1,200 g per plant outdoors, but Valencia does not give separate yield figures for this release.

Fast, uplifting and long-lasting

The classic Super Lemon Haze effect is energetic, euphoric, creative and cerebral, with a fast onset and a long duration. It is not usually described as a heavy, sleepy type. The Haze side gives it mental movement, conversation and an active mood, while the Lemon Skunk influence adds enough physical presence to stop it feeling thin or fleeting.

This is a good fit for shoppers who want a famous citrus strain with real breeding history behind it. Super Lemon Haze belongs to the pre-Cookies, pre-Runtz era of lemon, Skunk, pine and incense, and that older profile is exactly why it still stands out today.
