Supernova strain guide
Supernova is a hybrid from Amsterdam that crosses Blueberry with Mazar-i-Sharif, an Afghan landrace. It smells tropical and citrusy with an earthy, herbal side, and people describe a relaxed body feel that still leaves the head fairly clear.
Where does Supernova come from?
Supernova is a cross of Blueberry and Mazar-i-Sharif, a hash plant from northern Afghanistan. Listings agree it was bred in Amsterdam, and one credits Plantamaster Seeds with first releasing it in 2005.
Some listings also call it Chronic, which can be confusing: the Chronic most people know is a different Serious Seeds strain built from Skunk, Northern Lights and AK-47. Most listings describe Supernova as indica-leaning, around 75% indica, though one calls it balanced.
What does Supernova smell and taste like?
Supernova smells earthy and musky underneath, with tropical fruit, citrus and pineapple over the top and a spicy, herbal edge. Some people also pick up berry from the Blueberry side, or a hashy, tobacco-like note from the Afghan side.
Where terpene results are published, pinene leads, followed by myrcene and limonene. That fits the mix of fresh herb, soft fruit and citrus. The taste is often called smooth and sweet, with tart fruit and a herbal, hash-like finish.
Supernova effects: what people report
People most often describe Supernova as relaxed and euphoric, with a strong body feel and thinking that stays fairly clear. Some call it talkative, giggly and focused, while others find it sleepy, especially later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the usual complaints.
How strong is Supernova?
Published figures vary widely. One listing gives about 14% THC, while others list 25%, based on limited samples. CBD is minimal.
With a spread that wide, the label on your product is the number to trust. Start small and give it time. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying Supernova in Canada
Supernova is described as rare outside the Netherlands, so it may be hard to find. If you do see it, check the producer and the THC and CBD numbers, and don't confuse it with products labelled Chronic.
Supernova vs Blueberry
Blueberry is one of Supernova's parents. Blueberry is all about sweet berry, while Supernova swaps much of that for tropical fruit, citrus and herb, with an earthier, hashier base from its Afghan side. Both lean indica and get called relaxed and happy, though Supernova is more often described as clear-headed. If you want classic berry sweetness, start with Blueberry. If a spicier, tropical mix appeals, try Supernova.
