Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Super Green Crack
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (earthy, musky, herbal base notes; provides aromatic depth and subtle calming balance); Limonene (pronounced citrus punch, lemon zest, tangerine, grapefruit; mood-elevating, sharp clean aroma); Caryophyllene (peppery, spicy, woody notes; black pepper, clove, diesel-like undertones)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Pinene (crisp pine-forest freshness, enhances focus and mental clarity); Humulene (hoppy, earthy dimensions, potential appetite suppression); Terpineol (floral, lilac-like nuances, softens citrus edges); overall aromatic experience of bright tropical fruit meeting sharp citrus with earthy skunky funk, piney freshness, and subtle spice
The Experience- Common Effects
Enhanced focus and concentration; improved ability to engage with complex tasks; sustained attention to detail; reduced mental distraction; creative stimulation; increased idea generation; novel problem-solving approaches; artistic inspiration; elevated mood and euphoria; pronounced wellbeing and optimism; increased energy and motivation; physical and mental drive to engage; enhanced sociability; increased talkativeness; reduced social anxiety for some; heightened sensory perception for music, food, visual stimuli, tactile sensations
The Experience- Duration
Primary effects persist 2.5-4 hours via inhalation with individual variation based on tolerance, metabolism, consumption method, and amount; maintains near-peak intensity for first 90-120 minutes before gradual tapering; longer duration than typical sativas; edible/tincture consumption produces 4-6+ hours duration with 45-90 minute delayed onset and more pronounced physical effects
The Experience- Onset
Rapid onset 3-5 minutes after inhalation; initial sensation behind eyes and forehead described as 'waking up' or 'sharpening'; expands to full cerebral engagement within 10-15 minutes; accelerated mental processes with rapid thought flow and unexpected connections; energy directed toward task completion rather than pure restlessness; mild body lightness and gentle physical energy without heavy relaxation
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth (very common); dry, reddened eyes (very common); increased heart rate or mild palpitations especially in inexperienced users; anxiety, paranoia, or racing thoughts especially at high doses or in predisposed individuals; dizziness or mild disorientation particularly upon standing quickly; temporary cognitive overload or difficulty organizing thoughts (rare); customers with sativa-induced anxiety should approach cautiously
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Evening use (may interfere with sleep due to stimulating effects); situations requiring deep relaxation, significant pain relief, or sedation (consider indica-dominant alternatives instead); situations requiring calm, measured responses; anxiety management (may prove overstimulating); tasks requiring absolute steadiness or precision under pressure
Lineage and Origins
Cross of Super Silver Haze (Haze x Skunk #1 x Northern Lights #5) and Green Crack (Skunk #1 x Afghani landrace); originated in early 2010s; Green Crack parent created by Cecil C. in Athens, Georgia in late 1980s, originally called 'Cush'; renamed by Snoop Dogg; Super Silver Haze brings euphoric complexity and extended duration to Green Crack's rapid-onset clarity
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 20-25% (high potency, exceptional phenotypes may reach upper end); CBD: <1% (typically 0.2-0.5%); CBG: trace to 1% (usually <0.5%); high THC-to-CBD ratio produces pronounced cerebral effects with minimal body sedation; creates 'clean' or 'clear' head-focused experience without fuzzy thinking or couch-lock
Comparable Strains
Green Crack (direct parent; shorter duration and slightly lower THC compared to Super Green Crack's longer-lasting effects and complex terpene profile); Super Silver Haze (direct parent; Super Green Crack provides faster onset and more pronounced focus versus SSH's scattered, exploratory mental state); Durban Poison (pure sativa with similar clear-headed energy; Durban skews more cerebral with less body feel); Sour Diesel (comparable energizing effects and terpene profile; Sour Diesel more intense racing energy versus SGC's directed functional focus); Jack Herer (sativa-dominant with creative uplifting effects; Jack Herer more balanced head/body effects versus SGC's purely cerebral experience)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Moderate to good mold resistance due to sativa heritage but requires proper air circulation; tolerates brief temperature fluctuations but performs best with consistency; thrives in warm conditions 70-80°F (21-27°C) lights-on, 65-75°F dark periods; humidity 50-60% vegetative, 40-50% early flowering, 35-40% final two weeks; requires substantial light intensity (minimum 600W HPS equivalent per 4x4 area, 1000W produces superior results)
Cultivation Flowering Time
8-10 weeks photoperiod (12/12 light schedule); most phenotypes finish around 9 weeks; Haze-dominant expressions may extend to 10 weeks; Green Crack-leaning phenotypes may finish at 8 weeks; outdoor harvest in temperate climates late September to early October when germinated in late spring
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions with training techniques and generous lighting; Outdoor: 400-600 grams per plant in suitable climates; exceptional outdoor examples may produce more
Cultivation Plant Structure
Vigorous vegetative growth with rapid vertical stretch; 100-200% height increase during flowering transition; can reach 6-8+ feet outdoors; relatively thin stems requiring support once buds mature due to dense cola weight; strong apical dominance but responds well to training techniques (topping, FIM, SCROG); substantial lateral branching outdoors; benefits from trellising or stake supports by flowering week 3-4
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense but not overly compressed bud structure with visible calyxes and minimal leaf material; vibrant green coloration (occasionally with purple hues in cooler conditions) rather than brown or yellow stress indicators; abundant clear to milky trichome coverage extending to sugar leaves; bright orange, red, or pink pistils with retained color; pronounced aromatic intensity (citrus, tropical fruit, earth, pine) immediately upon opening container; slight springiness when gently squeezed (not crumbly or damp); clean stem snap with audible crack rather than bending
