Whilst at Spannabis this year we were hosted by our friends Royal Queen Seeds, who had an awesome upstairs terrace setup overlooking the outside part of Europe’s largest cannabis Expo.
This was a great space for filming, so we took the opportunity to film a strain review featuring one of Royal Queen Seed’s popular strains.
The strain we opted for was Lemon Shining Silver Haze, a potent cross of Lemon Skunk and Shining Silver Haze (RQS version of Super Silver Haze).
Lemon Shining Silver Haze Strain Summary
The Lemon Shining Silver Haze strain, a radiant Sativa-dominant hybrid, lights up the cannabis landscape with its dazzling effects and citrus aroma. This strain is a concoction of Amnesia Haze and Lemon Skunk, delivering a THC potency ranging between 21% to 23.5% and CBD levels of 0.68% to 0.88%. Its cannabinoid profile is complemented by a symphony of terpenes such as Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Linalool, crafting a flavour palette dominated by citrus and lemon with undertones of skunk, wood, and mango.
The effects of Lemon Shining Silver Haze are as vivid as its name suggests, offering an uplifting, euphoric experience that fosters creativity, conversation, and an energetic buzz. It’s particularly favoured for daytime use, propelling users into a state of heightened focus and joy. However, its potency warrants caution for those susceptible to THC-induced anxiety or insomnia.
Medically, Lemon Shining Silver Haze shines brightly, providing relief from migraines, fatigue, depression, and stress, alongside stimulating appetite. Its terpene blend not only contributes to its enticing aroma and flavour but also to its therapeutic potential.
Cultivation of this strain is accessible to growers of intermediate experience, thriving in both indoor and outdoor settings. Lemon Shining Silver Haze requires around 56 to 63 days to flower, with harvests yielding an abundant 10 to 15 ounces per plant outdoors. Its green buds, adorned with a rich layer of trichomes and vibrant orange hairs, are a testament to its quality and potency.
In essence, Lemon Shining Silver Haze is a testament to the harmonious blend of invigorating effects and aromatic pleasure, making it a beloved choice among Sativa enthusiasts and those seeking a citrus-infused boost to their day.
The effects of this one are 75% sativa, 25% indica – and this kicks in fast, so it’s not advisable to smoke this one before bed. I smoked a blue cheese joint just before filming the review, and within a few minutes of lighting the Lemon Shining Silver Haze joint my energy levels had risen and the high had changed.
It delivers around 21% THC so is on the strong side as far as strain goes, although not as strong as others on the market. The perfect Saturday/Sunday daytime balance imo.
The smell of this was strong, citrusy and full of zest. It gave off a sweet haze smell initially, amplified as the sample was broken and ground.
Tasting this in a joint I was treated to the full flavour profile of a well-cured sample. I put the whole thing into a joint (I think about 1 gram) and smoked this on the VIP terrace, enjoying the music in the background as I sampled the new strain for the first time.
Overall I was impressed with the Lemon Shining Silver Haze. I’d definitely prefer to smoke this in the daytime, as it’s like a perk up in joint form.
