Skunk Seeds

Skunk is the first commercial hybrid ever stabilized, it came from California by way of Sam the Skunkman following his release from prison in 1982.  is a disease and pest-resistant strain that has been bred into countless strains and forms the backbone of much of the Dutch commercial market. The plant itself is a good producer, exhibiting much hybrid vigor and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, making trimming a breeze.

Lineage

Acapulco/Mexican Gold x (Colombian Gold x Afghani)

Aroma

Contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of Skunk varieties do not smell skunky, but rather a pungently sweet and slightly fruity smell. The Dutch and BC Skunks are especially sweet, often carrying an element of creamy citrus. The original Skunk #1 that was favored by the American breeders was thought to possess more of the real skunk smell.

Flavor

Lightly sweet with a thick, strong smoke, Skunk #1 isn’t really known for its taste, but its mix of sweet and hashy flavors is a callback to the early origins of commercial marijuana.

Qualities

Relaxing yet mentally uplifting, Skunk #1 will elevate mood while keeping the user mostly close to the couch. It provides good pain relief and muscle relaxation qualities while making the user a little bit slow mentally. This is the standard “high” feeling mixed with some of the sedative elements thanks to the Afghani.

Grow Medium
