How to grow Skunk Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Less commonly seen these days, purely because it takes longer in flower than the commercial indicas that crowded it out — no reflection on the smoke itself. Earthy lemon and sweet pungency lead into a cerebral high, energetic and creative rather than sedating. Indoors 9-11 weeks for up to 500g/m2; outdoors, patience through to November.
Where it comes from
Mr. Nice Seedbank's Skunk Haze is a straight cross of Skunk and Haze, and the record is candid about its standing: less commonly seen than it was in the 1990s, though only because it takes a little longer in flower than the commercial indicas that came to crowd the shelves. That is a matter of fashion rather than merit — the breeders rate it in a league of its own and recommend it warmly. A Haze-forward plant with Skunk ballast, in other words, out of favour for its patience rather than its quality.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and pungent, lifted by a bright lemon note and a softer tree-fruit sweetness underneath — a livelier nose than the Skunk half alone would give you, the Haze pulling it upward. Sweet and sharp together, with real character. A more complex aroma than the commercial indicas that displaced it, which was rather the injustice of its decline.
The high
Cerebral, as a Haze cross should be — energetic, focused and creative, with a happy lift and just enough relaxation to keep it grounded. This is a mind-forward effect rather than a sedating one, well suited to daytime and to occupations that want a little spark. The Haze does most of the talking; the Skunk simply keeps it steady.
Growing it
THC is a gentle 13%, with a notably high 5% CBD alongside — an unusually balanced set of figures. Indoors she flowers over nine to eleven weeks and returns 350–500 g/m²; outdoors, given a good vegetative run, she can manage upward of 500g per plant and finishes around November in the northern hemisphere. That longer flower is the whole reason she fell from fashion, and the whole reason she is worth the patience. A rewarding, cerebral plant for a grower who is not in a hurry.
