...I believe this is what they call the phenotypes.

Skunk, Kush and Haze are different strains that make up the sub-catergories of indica, sativa, and ruderalis. Kush is indica, skunk I think is mostly indica and I forget what makes haze haze...it has to have a mix of strains, but its sativa

skunk kush and haze are families of marijuana. they have different characteristics when strictly one over the other. i believe each are different phenotypes and are usually crossbred to create new strains. i think if you make a family tree of strains skunk, kush, and haze would be real close to top. ive noticed that the genetics before these strains all are named from the country they are from...

a strain lineage...lots of strains can be traced way back...for instance jack the ripper i will break down left side of genetics only.
Jack The Ripper (Subcool) Jacks Cleaner P1 X Space Queen
Jacks Cleaner = Jack Herer x Lemon Thai
Jack Herer (Sensi) Skunk #1 X Northern Lights #5 X Haze
Skunk #1 (Dutch Passion) Afghani X Thai X Colombian Gold
After skunk 1 i cant trace back afghani or thai. here is colombian gold another step back
Colombian Gold (Brazilian Seed) Landraces; Brazil
Again back to countries they came from. Although landraces is not a country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landraces) im sure if can be traced back it will lead to one. I think it would be safe to say that these are indeed desired phenotypes and have been kept through selective breeding. I am new to this subject please correct me if i am wrong.

yes but in general these plants are pure. The haze is generally a pure sativa that takes 12-14 weeks to mature. A kush plant is generally a pure indica that comes from the hindu kush region in afganistan hence the name. The skunk #1 was one of the first hybrids crossed from multiple species and made into it's own species through inbreeeding over multiple generations. I guess skunk #1 is not skunky it's sweet, but there are some strains people will name skunk because of it's skunky smell.
