From Seed to a Zesty, Gleaming Harvest: The Full Grow-Along
This sativa-dominant hybrid loves to grow tall and reach for the sky. It requires patience due to its longer flowering time, but the reward is a massive yield of some of the most enjoyable cannabis you can cultivate.
Germination: The Spark of Genius
Every great plant starts with a single healthy seed. The paper towel method is my trusted technique.
- Soak: Give your seeds a 12 to 48-hour soak in a glass of room-temperature water.
- Wrap: Place the hydrated seeds between two paper towels that are damp, but not dripping wet.
- Keep it Warm & Dark: Put your paper towel setup inside a Ziploc bag or between two plates.
- Sprout!: In 2 to 7 days, a tiny white taproot will emerge. Game on! Carefully plant it about a half-inch deep in your starter pot, with the root pointing down.
Common Mistake to Avoid: Being too rough. That new little taproot is the most fragile part of the plant’s life. Use tweezers and a gentle touch when moving it to its new home.
The Vegetative Stage: Reaching for the Sky
During the veg stage, your CBD Super Lemon Haze will show off its sativa heritage by stretching towards the light. It’s focused on building a tall, strong frame.
- Light Cycle: You need long “days” to promote strong vegetative growth. An 18/6 light cycle (18 hours of light, 6 of darkness) is the gold standard.
- Nutrient Needs: Your plant needs a balanced “grow” fertilizer with plenty of Nitrogen (N) during this phase to fuel all that leafy development.
- Training is MANDATORY: I can’t stress this enough. This is a tall plant. To manage its height indoors and to dramatically increase your yield, you must train it. Topping the plant early and using a SCROG (Screen of Green) net are the best techniques. This will tame its vertical stretch and create a wide, even canopy of buds.
The Flowering Stage: A Long and Aromatic Bloom
This is where your patience as a grower will be tested and rewarded. To trigger flowering, you MUST switch your lights to a strict 12/12 cycle (12 hours of light, 12 hours of absolute darkness).
The flowering time for a true Haze like this is long—typically 10-12 weeks. During this phase, the plant will stretch even more, then slowly develop long, elegant colas that will fill your grow space with an incredible zesty lemon, citrus, and earthy aroma.
When you flip your lights, switch to a “bloom” fertilizer that is higher in Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) to support all that amazing flower and resin production.
Common Mistake to Avoid: Impatience! A Haze needs its full flowering time to develop its complex flavors and potent cerebral effects. Don’t get antsy and harvest early. Let the plant tell you when it’s ready.
Promos & Deals
Indoor vs. Outdoor: Choosing Your Grow Environment
This strain can be grown in any setting, but you have to plan for its Sativa-dominant nature.
Growing Indoors
This is the best way to control the environment and maximize the unique cannabinoid profile of this strain.
- Height: This plant gets TALL. Even with training, you can expect a final height of around 5 feet (1.5 meters). If you don’t train it, it will easily outgrow your tent. Vertical space is a major consideration.
- Ventilation: Good airflow is key to preventing mold on those long colas and to manage the strong, pungent aroma. A good carbon filter is non-negotiable.
Growing Outdoors
If you have the right climate, you can cultivate a true cannabis tree.
Height Potential: Unrestrained outdoors, this plant can stretch even taller than it does inside.
Best U.S. Cities and Climates: This long-flowering sativa beast needs a long, warm, and sunny season.
- California (The Gold Standard): Cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, or anywhere in the Emerald Triangle are perfect. They have the ideal long, sunny summer for this plant to thrive.
- The Southwest (For the Brave): Areas in Arizona and Nevada offer intense sun that can boost resin production. The big challenge is the extreme heat and the need for a robust watering plan.
- Florida (The Tropical Challenge): The warmth and long season are great, but the high humidity is a major mold risk for its dense colas. This is a great choice for experienced outdoor growers who can manage humidity.
- Hawaii (The Sativa Paradise): The tropical climate is practically perfect for Haze genetics to show their full splendor.
Pro-Level Playbook: Cloning and Powerful Extractions
Cloning: Keep the Good Vibes Going
Find a specific CBD Super Lemon Haze plant with that perfect energetic high? Clone it!
- Select & Snip: Take a healthy 4-6 inch cutting from a lower branch of a mother plant in her vegetative stage. Use a sterile razor for a clean cut.
- Hormone Dip: Immediately dip the cut end in a rooting hormone to inspire vigorous root growth.
- Plant It: Place the cutting into a moist starter cube like Rockwool.
- Keep It Humid: Cover your new clones with a humidity dome to keep them from wilting.
- A New Generation: In about two weeks, you’ll have a new plant that is a perfect genetic copy of your prized mother!
What to Do With Your Trim? Capture That Haze Essence!
A sustainable grower knows that the trim is where the flavor is. With a strain as aromatic as this, making a terpene-rich extract is the best way to honor it.
This is the perfect strain for making high-quality live resin or BHO (Butane Hash Oil). These methods capture the fresh, volatile lemon and citrus terpenes that define the strain’s amazing aroma and taste. It’s the ultimate way to experience what makes this plant so special.
The Grand Finale: Harvest, Dry & Cure
You’ve made it! Get a jeweler’s loupe and look at the trichomes. For that classic, energetic Sativa high, you want to harvest when the trichomes are all cloudy, with very few (if any) amber ones.
- The Chop: Cut your plants and trim away the large fan leaves.
- The Slow Dry: Hang the branches in a dark room with good airflow, a temperature around 60-70°F (15-21°C), and humidity around 45-55%. This usually takes 7-14 days.
- The Cure: This is the most important step for Sativa strains. A long, slow cure of at least 2 to 4 weeks (and ideally longer) is what will break down the chlorophyll and allow that complex lemon and citrus flavor to fully develop. Be patient, it’s the secret to top-shelf Sativa.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this strain an Indica or a Sativa? The info can be confusing!
Let’s clear this up! CBD Super Lemon Haze is a Sativa-dominant hybrid. Its parents, Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze, are both legendary Sativas. It grows tall and provides an energetic, uplifting high, which are classic Sativa traits.
What does a “1:1” Sativa strain feel like?
It’s a unique and very pleasant experience. You get the classic Sativa effects, creativity, focus, energy, and euphoria, but the CBD smooths everything out. It takes away the “edge” or potential anxiety, leaving you with a clean, functional, and incredibly happy high.
Is this a good strain for beginners?
Honestly, it’s more of an intermediate-level strain. Its Sativa genetics mean it grows tall and has a longer flowering time, which can be challenging for a first-time grower. But if you’re an ambitious beginner ready to learn, it will innovate your skills!
What are the key challenges when growing CBD Super Lemon Haze?
The biggest challenges are managing its Sativa height (especially indoors), being patient during its longer flowering time, and preventing mold in its long, dense colas with good airflow.
How big will my yield be?
If you manage its height with training and let it finish its full, long flowering cycle, CBD Super Lemon Haze is a massive yielder. Those long Sativa colas really stack up, rewarding your patience with a very bountiful harvest of therapeutic, high-quality buds.
