Super Lemon Haze

Super Lemon Haze is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Super Lemon Haze rather than just read about it. In short: Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain (also referred to as a "cultivar") in the haze family of strains. It was originally bred by Franco Loja from the Netherlands-based Green House Seed Co. as a cross between two other strains: Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze.

Key takeaways

Super Lemon Haze belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Super Lemon Haze to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Super Lemon Haze from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Super Lemon Haze is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain (also referred to as a "cultivar") in the haze family of strains. It was originally bred by Franco Loja from the Netherlands-based Green House Seed Co. as a cross between two other strains: Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze. Popular on the West Coast and British Columbia, Super Lemon Haze has been a two-time High Times Cannabis Cup winner from 2008 and 2009, Medical Cannabis Cup, and Spannabis Cup winner. Super Lemon Haze can be described as having a fresh lemon aroma, with an earthy, citrus flavor.

Characteristics

Super Lemon Haze traces its genetic lineage from two specific strains; Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze, which trace their lineage from Skunk #1 and a three-way cross of Skunk #1, Haze, and Northern Lights #5. Although the Super Lemon Haze strain predominantly features sativa genetics, their flowers come in all shapes and sizes, with a bright-green hue and a dense amount of trichomes. The pistils on this strain are a bright orange color when the plant is fully matured. As cannabis is traditionally a photoperiod plant, Super Lemon Haze's grow period can last between 10 and 12 weeks. The yield is fairly high, with a range from anywhere between 600 and 800 grams per square meter per plant. According to Green House, this strain is best suited for growing in equatorial, tropical, subtropical and temperate climates, as its longer flowering period would present some difficulties in a colder environment. In addition, Green House developed an autoflower version by hybridizing the plant's genetics with a ruderalis, which grows irrespective of the photoperiod.

Medicinal properties

Super Lemon Haze typically exhibits several terpenes, which are organic compounds that are produced by many plants, including cannabis. The most common dominant terpenes found in this strain are limonene, which is also found in citrus fruits such as lemons, and terpinolene. Terpenes present at lower levels may include beta-caryophyllene, ocimene, and myrcene, depending on the plant’s genotype. The tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content ranges from 15 to 20%, with some phenotypes testing as high as 25%. This strain also exhibits lower levels of other minor cannabinoids, with approximately 1-2% of cannabinol (CBN), which can be traced to its Super Silver Haze lineage, and less than 1% of CBD content. Green House has also developed a high-cannabidiol (CBD) version by breeding it with a high-CBD male plant. Current Super Lemon Haze genetics range up to levels of 25% THC, 2% CBN and 1% CBD making this strain ideal for treating certain conditions like pain and depression. It is said that the mood-elevating properties of Super Lemon Haze can help regulate mood disorders, such as depression, while also helping with other conditions such as minor pains, nausea, and appetite loss. The effects can be described as uplifting, energetic, creative, and cerebral.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Super Lemon Haze

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Super Lemon Haze claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Super Lemon Haze before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Super Lemon Haze ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Super Lemon Haze

In research: Super Lemon Haze appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Super Lemon Haze in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Super Lemon Haze is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cannabis in the Netherlands, Cannabis strains, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Super Lemon Haze outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
