When a marijuana strain contains a combination of two legendary lineages, you immediately sit up and take notice. It is a fact that Skunk, Haze, and Kush have changed the way we grow and enjoy weed. These three iconic strains are the building blocks of the genetics of most cannabis we find on the market.
The subject of today’s review is Skunk Haze, a cross of Haze and Skunk #1.
What Is the Skunk Haze Strain?
As a breeder, there is pressure when you develop a marijuana strain that involves any of the three major lineages. This pressure amplifies when you combine any two of them. Fortunately, Mr. Nice Seeds has hit the mark with Skunk Haze, a sativa dominant (70%) hybrid.
With a moderately high CBD content, Skunk Haze also has medical potential.
With a moderately high CBD content, Skunk Haze also has medical potential. There is a separate CBD Skunk Haze, which offers a 1:1 CBD to THC ratio. It allows you to use cannabis without receiving a strong intoxicating high.
However, this is certainly NOT the case with regular Skunk Haze. It is potent and will ensure you enjoy all of the benefits associated with THC’s high.
It provides users with an intense cerebral high that eliminates stress and pain. In most cases, you will feel uplifted and happy. It is also likely that a few smokes of Skunk Haze will provide you with an energy boost.
After the head high comes the body relaxation as the indica aspect of the strain begins to take over. You will feel at ease but should not reach the couch lock stage. However, its potency means that newcomers may become overwhelmed and are forced to lie down.
Aroma
If you have ever sampled any Skunk variety, you will know what to expect. Its pungent odor means it is not a strain for clandestine smoking! The skunky scent of Skunk #1 is noticeable in its offspring. However, Skunk Haze also has sweet and herbal notes, with a hint of citrus.
Taste
Skunk Haze is a delicious strain with a delightful aftertaste. Users claim that this is a sweet herb, with hints of lemon.
Appearance
Skunk Haze normally produces tall plants with large buds that are not particularly dense. Near harvest time, the orange pistils stand out against the pale green leaves.
Skunk Haze Strain Grow Info
Unfortunately, Skunk Haze is not an easy strain to cultivate. Indeed, it is necessary to have a reasonable degree of experience before attempting to grow this strain. Even if you can grow it outside, the strong smell means your nosy neighbors may uncover your cannabis garden. In legal states, marijuana grown outdoors must be out of the sight of the general public.
If you grow indoors, make sure the room has an excellent ventilation system to take care of the smell. Skunk Haze thrives in a warm climate with lots of sunlight.
If you grow indoors, make sure the room has an excellent ventilation system to take care of the smell.
When growing indoors, make sure your plants receive plenty of light. As Skunk Haze can grow thick, it is good to trim the plant as the foliage becomes too dense. This strain also grows well when you use the Screen of Green (SCROG) method. This involves building a screen above your plants. When they start to grow through the screen, tie down the branches.
Skunk Haze can reach a height of six and a half feet when grown outdoors. Once it is ready for harvest, it yields up to 18 ounces per plant. When you grow it inside, its flowering time is 9-11 weeks. It provides a yield of approximately 18 ounces per square meter planted indoors.
THC Content – Highest Test
Skunk Haze has an average THC content of 20%. However, the THC level can range from 17% to 23%.
CBD Content – Highest Test
Skunk Haze has up to 1% CBD.
Medical Benefits of the Skunk Haze Strain
As you receive a powerful cerebral experience, Skunk Haze is potentially useful for people suffering from a mood disorder. It is also possibly effective against stress and may even improve your quality of sleep. Its potency also ensures it is called upon by individuals with chronic pain from conditions such as cramps and muscle spasms.
Possible Side Effects of the Skunk Haze Strain
Typical side effects include dry eyes and dry mouth. You can deal with this issue by ensuring you are hydrated before using this strain. We also recommend drinking glasses of water while consuming Skunk Haze.
Its potency means you should approach with caution. It causes a raft of sensations almost immediately after use. If you’re not used to dealing with strong marijuana, it could enhance feelings of anxiety or paranoia. Even if you are a seasoned cannabis user, consume a small amount, to begin with, before gradually increasing it.
Final Thoughts on the Skunk Haze Strain
Skunk Haze is a marijuana strain that promises a lot and delivers! It is championed as a balanced mind and body healer. Its light green buds tinged with orange are a sight for sore eyes. It is an excellent strain for evening use, but we would not recommend using it to kickstart the day.
If you can handle the potency, you will love this energizing strain.
The mental stimulation and physical relaxation it provides are potentially too powerful for some. If you are a beginner or have a low tolerance for cannabis, Skunk Haze is probably not the best option. However, if you can handle the potency, you will love this energizing strain. It can boost creativity and focus while easing stress and soothing pain.
One downside is that Skunk Haze is a challenging marijuana strain to cultivate.
