Haze Skunk
Also known as: Haze x Skunk, Skunk Haze
Haze Skunk Strain Overview
Haze Skunk is a classic cannabis hybrid that combines two legendary genetic lineages: the cerebral, energetic Haze varieties and the robust, resinous Skunk strains. This cross represents a bridge between the sativa-dominant Haze family, originally developed in California during the 1960s and 1970s, and the indica-influenced Skunk lines that became foundational to modern cannabis breeding. The strain emerged during the 1980s and 1990s as breeders sought to combine Haze's uplifting effects with Skunk's easier cultivation characteristics and faster flowering times.
Visually, Haze Skunk typically displays characteristics from both parent lines. Plants often exhibit the elongated, spear-shaped buds and lighter green coloration associated with Haze varieties, combined with the dense bud structure and resin production inherited from Skunk genetics. The flowers are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The leaves tend to be medium green with some sativa-like slender fingers, though often broader than pure Haze varieties due to Skunk influence.
Haze Skunk is notable for its balanced effects profile that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has maintained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients due to its versatile effects and relatively straightforward cultivation compared to pure Haze varieties. While not as commercially dominant as some modern hybrids, Haze Skunk remains respected as a foundational strain that has influenced numerous subsequent hybrids and represents an important chapter in cannabis breeding history.

Haze Skunk Strain Growing Information
Haze Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, more forgiving than pure Haze varieties but requiring more attention than modern indica-dominant hybrids. Flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach medium to tall heights, especially when grown outdoors where they may exceed 2 meters. Indoor yields are moderate to good with proper training, while outdoor plants can produce substantial harvests in favorable conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better height control. Haze Skunk prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during flowering. Good air circulation is important to prevent mold, particularly in dense buds. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases compared to some pure sativa varieties.
