Super Silver Bilbo Feminized Seeds · Authentic Sativa Haze with Intense Flavor & High THC

The Super Silver Bilbo feminized seed from Genehtik is your direct ticket to cultivating a legendary sativa-dominant Haze, a strain that has been a favorite among connoisseurs since 1998. This is not a gentle, relaxing smoke; it's a powerful, mind-expanding experience wrapped in a classic, incense-like aroma, designed for the grower who values authenticity and a strong cerebral effect.

Ever planted a sativa only to be disappointed by lanky growth, airy buds, or a harvest that feels more like a chore than a triumph? You invest months of care, only to end up with a plant that's all stretch and no substance, or worse, one that succumbs to mold before you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. That frustration of wasted time and effort, of missing out on that pure, electric Haze high, is all too real.

Genehtik solved this by crossing their robust Critical Bilbo with the iconic Super Silver Haze. The result is Super Silver Bilbo: a sativa that behaves with the generous yield of an indica. You get the soaring, creative high and intense flavor of a classic Haze, but packed into dense, resin-coated buds on a plant that's surprisingly manageable and resistant. It’s the sativa experience, upgraded for reliability.

Key Advantages Over Basic Sativas

While many sativas promise a legendary high, they often come with legendary challenges—like 14-week flower times or branches that can't support their own weight. Super Silver Bilbo gives you the best of both worlds.

• Indica-like Bud Structure: It grows with a sativa's vigor but produces fat, heavy, and compact buds like an indica, meaning more usable flower per plant.
• Enhanced Mold Resistance: A common sativa weakness is susceptibility to botrytis. This strain has been selected for its ability to resist fungal attacks, especially valuable for outdoor growers in humid climates.
• Optimized Flowering Period: At 65–75 days, it's considered early for a Haze, allowing you to harvest a premium sativa without waiting deep into autumn.
• Proven Award-Winning Genetics: This isn't an untested hype strain. It won 1st prize in the BIO category at Highlife Barcelona in 2005, a testament to its quality and stability.

Real Benefits You're Going to Notice

Beyond the specs, here’s what this strain actually delivers in your garden and your session.

First, you'll get a significantly higher yield of top-quality bud compared to most pure sativas. The dense buds are easier to trim and cure, saving you time and effort post-harvest. The robust structure and mold resistance translate to less stress during the grow and a higher chance of successfully bringing your crop to full maturity, even if you face a damp spell.

When it's time to enjoy, the intense, complex aroma of metallic incense, sandalwood, and pine fills the room, offering a classic sensory experience. Most importantly, the effect is unmistakably sativa: a clear-headed, energetic, and creatively stimulating high that is perfect for socializing, working on projects, or simply exploring your own thoughts without sedation. It’s the kind of smoke that makes you want to do things, not just sit on the couch.

Step-by-Step Growing Guide

Quick Overview: A sativa-dominant photoperiod from Genehtik. Expect a 65–75 day flowering time and tall, vigorous plants ideal for experienced growers or dedicated beginners. It thrives in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with good airflow.

Safe Start & Strong Seedlings:

• Germinate seeds in a warm (22–25°C / 71.6–77°F), humid environment. A simple, balanced substrate like Light Rebel 50L Juju Royal Substrate provides perfect aeration for early root development.
• Once sprouted, provide 18 hours of light. Keep humidity around 60-70% and avoid overwatering—let the top soil dry slightly between waterings.

Vegging for Structure:

• During the vegetative stage (4-6 weeks), the plant will stretch significantly. This is the time for low-stress training (LST) to control height and promote multiple colas. Topping is also possible early in veg.
• Transplant to a final pot of 15–20 L (approx. 3.96–5.28 gal) to support its large root system. Maintain a pH of 6.0–6.5 in soil.

Flowering for Density:

• Switch the light cycle to 12 hours on/12 hours off to induce flowering. Expect a significant "stretch" in the first 2-3 weeks.
• Reduce humidity gradually to 40-50% to prevent mold. Ensure excellent airflow around the dense buds. Support branches with stakes or a SCROG net as buds swell.
• Feed with a bloom-focused nutrient regimen. In the final weeks, a product like Plagron Power Buds can help enhance bud density and resin production.

Harvest & Cure for Flavor:

• Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for a balanced effect. Flush with plain water for 7-10 days before harvest.
• Dry slowly in a dark space at 18–22°C (64.4–71.6°F) and 50-60% RH for 10-14 days. Cure the buds in airtight jars for a minimum of 2-4 weeks, burping daily, to develop the full, intense Haze flavor and smooth smoke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Super Silver Bilbo good for beginners?

It's rated as medium difficulty. While it's resilient, its sativa growth pattern and height require some space management and feeding attention. A beginner can succeed with careful research, but it's more rewarding for a grower with one or two cycles under their belt.

How tall does it get indoors?

It exhibits typical sativa stretch, especially in early flower. With a 4-6 week veg, expect indoor heights of 1.20–1.80 m (3.94–5.91 ft). Using LST or a SCROG net is highly recommended to manage canopy height and light penetration.

What's the smell like during growth, and is it discreet?

The aroma is intense, spicy, and very "Haze"—think incense and sandalwood. It is not a discreet strain. Using a high-quality carbon filter is essential for indoor grows to control the potent smell, especially in the final weeks of flowering.

What's the difference between this and the original Super Silver Haze?

Super Silver Bilbo is a cross that stabilizes and improves upon some traits of the original. It offers a shorter flowering time, better mold resistance, and the heavy, indica-like bud structure from its Critical Bilbo parent, while retaining the iconic Haze aroma and potent cerebral effect.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Super Silver Bilbo several times over the years, and it's one of those strains that reminds you why you fell in love with growing sativas. The first thing you notice is the vigor—it's a beast in veg, stretching for the lights. I always give it plenty of vertical space or commit to serious LST early on. In a 20 L (approx. 5.28 gal) pot with a rich, airy soil mix, it truly shines.

The stretch during the first two weeks of flower is impressive, but then it starts stacking those dense, resinous buds. The smell is unmistakable: a sharp, metallic incense that evolves into deeper woody and minty notes as it cures. Compared to other Haze varieties I've grown, its resistance to bud rot is a standout feature, giving me peace of mind during the final, critical weeks.

My preferred method is a moderate SCROG to maximize the canopy and support those heavy colas. I push nutrients hard during the stretch and early flower, but I start a gradual flush around day 60 to ensure a clean burn. The smoke? It's a classic. Energetic, clear-headed, and perfect for a creative afternoon. It's not a "couch-lock" strain at all—it's for when you want to be active and engaged. For the grower looking for a authentic, high-yielding sativa that actually finishes in a reasonable time, Super Silver Bilbo is a top-shelf choice.
