Original Haze, Thunk 2, and Skunk #1 Triploid
This year is dedicated to Sam Skunkman, and I’ll do my best to honor his wishes and preserve his genetics. I’ve got over 100 Original Haze seeds, plus Thunk 1 & 2, Skunk (Special Triploid), and some of his latest crosses.
The plan is to select and use the best for a final Original Haze release. I have them all—from Posi Haze #19, TFD, Tom Hill, Golli, Seedsman, and two different private lines from Sam himself, as well as Oldtimer’s Haze. This will be a long journey, but after more than 30 years of growing and smoking, I know that nothing compares to the effect Haze has on body & soul.
If there were no Haze, I’m sure I wouldn’t be doing what I do today. Preserving these special genetics is a must, and I promised Sam I would.
A Personal Note
After Sam passed away, it wasn’t easy to get back into growing. I had work to focus on, and careful planning was needed to make this year’s project a reality.
When I last visited him before Christmas, I gave him the book “CANNABIS BREEDING” by James Loud and brought his wife roses for taking care of him. I wasn’t sure what would fit better, but he was really happy about the book. Two days later, we had our final call. He mentioned a few issues in the book but said that most of it was true and well-written.
He told me:
“You should sprout some Thunk 2… and of course, the Haze.”
His method was about selecting the best females, reversing them all, and letting them cross-pollinate—maintaining diversity, but with all killer plants like the mothers. I’ve already tested this with four plants, and now I have a better idea of how to proceed. This time, I’ll also do a regular reproduction of the best selections.
Planning & Execution
I always create a detailed plan before starting:
Goal: What I want to achieve.
Strategy: When to plant, how to manage different tents, and how many clones I need to take care of.
Now, everything is clear. This year is fully dedicated to Sam’s private Original Haze and Thunk 2, which he was so proud of. Thunk 2 leans more towards Thai genetics—I saw his plant behind the window. The seeds are old, and the time to preserve them is now.
I’ve already started by sprouting Haze and Thunk 2 first. Over time, I will select the best Haze and produce the final Original Haze seeds, just as Sam wanted. He told me:
“You’ll find the gold in those seeds.”
Current Progress

Thunk 2: Still uncertain—tough shells, but I have my method…
Sam himself used a handful of seeds to get just four plants, so I know what I’m up against.
Method for Germinating Old Seeds
I take a pencil and wrap fine sandpaper around it with the rough side facing inward, securing it with tape. This creates a 10 cm tube with the rough surface inside.
Add seeds – Close one end with your finger, drop in a few seeds, and seal the other opening with your thumb.
Shake gently – Move the tube back and forth for 30 to 60 seconds to roughen the seed coat.
Hydrogen peroxide soak – Mix 3% H₂O₂ with water at a 10:1 ratio and soak seeds for 24 hours in the dark at 25°C (up to 48 hours for very old seeds).
Plant in soil – Use high-quality organic seedling soil enriched with mycorrhiza.

Many thanks to everyone for your trust & support.
This journey is just beginning, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve. Green heart
