Early Skunk x Afghan Haze Strain Overview
Early Skunk x Afghan Haze is a predominantly sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by the renowned Mr. Nice Seedbank, founded by legendary breeder Shantibaba (Scott Blakey) and the late Howard Marks. This strain represents the crossing of Early Skunk genetics with Afghan Haze, combining the reliable, fast-finishing characteristics of skunk genetics with the cerebral, energetic effects of haze varieties. The strain was created to offer growers a compromise between traditional sativa-based plants that typically require longer flowering periods and more manageable indica-dominant varieties, resulting in what Mr. Nice describes as 'a great compromise between the Indica: Sativa families of Cannabis.'
As a mostly sativa strain, Early Skunk x Afghan Haze exhibits multiple phenotypes, with growers reporting variations that can finish anywhere from 66 days to over 100 days depending on the phenotype expressed. The strain is known for producing different expressions, with some phenotypes showing classic sativa characteristics including stretchy growth patterns, large central colas, and minimal side branching, while others may finish more quickly with denser, more resinous buds. Experienced growers have noted the strain's impressive resin production, with some phenotypes producing exceptional amounts of trichomes and requiring minimal leaf trimming during harvest preparation.

Early Skunk x Afghan Haze Strain Growing Information
Early Skunk x Afghan Haze can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level suitable for intermediate growers. Flowering time varies significantly by phenotype, ranging from 56-70 days for faster-finishing phenotypes up to 14+ weeks for more sativa-dominant expressions. Indoor yields can reach 450-550 g/m² under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce substantial harvests when grown in favorable climates. The strain exhibits considerable stretch during flowering and may require support for branches, especially in sativa-dominant phenotypes. Plants tend to grow tall with some phenotypes reaching significant heights, making them suitable for growers with adequate vertical space. The strain is available only as regular seeds, not feminized, and shows good resistance to common pests and molds. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
