Super Silver Pupil Firelands Scientific
Super Silver Haze × Star Pupil
Super Silver Pupil, a sativa cultivar from Firelands Scientific, combines the energetic heritage of Super Silver Haze with the depth of the Star Pupil line. This strain is recognized for providing a clear-headed focus and a mood-elevating euphoria that typically avoids the overstimulation associated with some sativa-dominant varieties.
Appearance
Super Silver Pupil often presents as medium-sized, conical flowers densely coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted, silver appearance. Some phenotypes may display purple hues on the bracts and sugar leaves, creating a contrast with the silvery trichomes. The buds are typically well-formed with swollen calyxes and minimal leaf material.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Super Silver Pupil is characterized by a complex bouquet featuring bright citrus notes like lemon zest and tangerine, layered over fresh pine and eucalyptus. Underlying scents of sandalwood incense, black tea, and hints of grape skin contribute to its depth. Upon inhalation, flavors of sweet candy, orange oil, pine sap, and green tea are prominent, with exhale notes of sandalwood, grape skin, and a subtle metallic or ozone quality.
Effects
This sativa strain is reported to deliver a cerebral lift, promoting clear-headed focus and mood elevation. It is often described as providing a sense of calm and ease, with a body-centered sensation that balances the mental effects. Patients frequently choose Super Silver Pupil for daytime use, finding it conducive to productivity without inducing excessive jitters or couchlock.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages can vary, Super Silver Pupil typically exhibits elevated THC levels, often ranging from 18-26%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile is frequently led by terpinolene or a combination of caryophyllene and limonene, supported by myrcene and ocimene. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present in small amounts.
Origins & Lineage
Super Silver Pupil is understood to be a cross between Super Silver Haze, known for its sativa energy and citrus-pine aroma, and Star Pupil, which contributes purple coloration, incense-like scents, and a balanced effect. This combination aims to enhance resin production and aromatic complexity while maintaining a manageable flowering period.
Cultivation
Plants are expected to reach a medium-tall stature with a stretch of 1.5x to 2x after the light cycle is changed. The influence of Star Pupil may lead to denser calyxes and a slightly shorter finishing time compared to pure haze varieties, typically within 9-10 weeks. Leaf morphology tends to be mid-width.
