No, Nevil and the crew disliked breeding to the skunky aroma side in the NL spectrum because they were looking for a more subtle aromatic cultivar allowing the Haze aromaic traits to be more dominant in the offspring. That why Nevil selected NL#5 to outcross both Haze males and found these to be best in that regard.
With the skunk dj people may be rembering 2 separate lines...the one in cali/usa seems to be some sort of indica type plant...but sams was originally a quite sativa looking plant...was supposed to be 75% sativa and actually looked it too...I believe that was some of the very earlier skunk sam had but later generations seem to hav been bred to make it a more indoor friendly plant alot more indica and sweeter smelling.
This is why I thought haze had been breed into skunk back then. What I remember it was mostly Sativa. I grew up in cali.. I guess my initial question would be did Skunk back then have haze in it?.. I was just 17 at the time so my memory its that great..
