Early Skunk x Haze by Mr. Nice

Early Skunk x Haze seeds: a practical Haze for cold climates

Early Skunk x Haze is a strain from Mr. Nice with regular seeds (not feminized: each seed can turn out male or female, roughly 50% each). Its story starts with Early Skunk, the breeder's first hybrid, a cross of Early Pearl and Skunk that did very well outdoors in cold-climate countries. After that success, Mr. Nice decided to make a Haze hybrid for the same reasons and crossed Early Skunk with a Haze. At oaseeds we like it because it brings the character of Haze strains, usually long and demanding plants, to growers in places where summer ends early.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Early Skunk x Haze

Mr. Nice presents it as a great compromise between the two big cannabis families: indica (compact plants with a more physical effect) and sativa (tall plants with a more mental, active effect). According to the breeder, the dried flower balances that indica to sativa ratio very well, and anyone who grows it wonders why they didn't try it before.

The breeder does not go into specific flavours or aromas. Genetically, it combines the heritage of Skunk with that of Haze, two of the most classic families in European growing.

How to grow Early Skunk x Haze indoors and outdoors

The big advantage Mr. Nice highlights is that it takes less work than traditional sativa-based plants. On top of that, it doesn't stretch as much as you might expect from its genetics. The stretch (the growth spurt plants have when flowering begins) is moderate, which helps if you grow indoors with limited height. Even so, the breeder warns that indoors it may need a little more growing time.

According to the breeder's description, indoors it finishes flowering (the phase when the plant builds its buds) in 8 to 10 weeks and yields 350 to 500 g/m². Outdoors, yields can be very high. It was designed precisely for outdoor growing in cold climates, so it is a good candidate if your season is short. Since it is regular, sow several seeds and remove the males as soon as you spot them, before they release pollen.

Early Skunk x Haze characteristics

Frequently asked questions about Early Skunk x Haze

Is Early Skunk x Haze indica or sativa?

It is a balanced hybrid of indica and sativa. Mr. Nice describes it as a middle ground between both families, with the Haze heritage tempered by Early Skunk.

How long does Early Skunk x Haze take to flower?

8 to 10 weeks indoors, according to the breeder's description. That is quite a bit less than a traditional Haze usually needs.

Can you grow Early Skunk x Haze outdoors?

Yes, that is exactly what it was made for. Mr. Nice bred it with outdoor growing in cold-climate countries in mind, just like its parent Early Skunk, and its outdoor yields can be very high.

Does Early Skunk x Haze grow tall?

Less than its Haze genetics would suggest. According to the breeder, it doesn't stretch as much as expected, although indoors it may need a little more growing time.
