Original Haze x Skunk
Also known as: Haze Skunk, Haze x Skunk #1
Original Haze x Skunk Strain Overview
Original Haze x Skunk is a classic sativa-dominant hybrid strain resulting from the crossbreeding of two legendary cannabis varieties: Original Haze and Skunk #1. This strain represents a significant milestone in cannabis breeding history, combining the cerebral, uplifting effects of Original Haze with the robust growth characteristics and pungent aroma of Skunk #1. The cross was developed during the 1980s and 1990s as breeders sought to create a more manageable version of the notoriously long-flowering Haze while preserving its distinctive psychoactive properties.
The strain exhibits characteristics from both parent lines, typically displaying the elongated, spear-shaped buds of Haze varieties with the dense structure and resin production inherited from Skunk #1. The plants often show sativa-dominant growth patterns with moderate branching and can reach considerable heights, especially when grown outdoors. The aroma profile combines the sweet, spicy notes of Original Haze with the distinctive skunky, earthy undertones of its Skunk parent, creating a complex sensory experience that has made this strain popular among connoisseurs.
Original Haze x Skunk occupies an important place in cannabis history as one of the foundational crosses that helped popularize Haze genetics in commercial cultivation. While not as widely available as some modern hybrids, it remains sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate classic sativa effects and historical cannabis genetics. The strain's balanced combination of cerebral stimulation and manageable cultivation requirements made it influential in the development of subsequent Haze hybrids.
