Skunk has become the generic term for high quality, very strong cannabis. But this isn’t entirely correct! Although we do agree with the high quality part, Skunk is the name of a specific cannabis strain that has led to the creation of an entire Skunk family. It sure is one of the best known cannabis hybrids, and most likely the most cultivated one. When you browse through our collection of Skunk cannabis seeds, you’ll quickly notice that you can find Skunk strains of any type, potency, growth pattern or effect in here.
A little Skunk history, anyone?
Yes, the story of the original Skunk #1 has been told and re-told many many times, and is an essential part of cannabis folklore, but a short recap can’t hurt, right? Skunk finds its roots in the late 1960s/early 1970s and has had significant impact on the cannabis industry as it is today.
It was under the Californian sun that Skunk was developed for the first time by a small community of breeders, yet, it was not discovered by them. One of the growers had a clone of this, so far unstable line, in his garden, and brought it in for a growing project. As time went by, the small community grew to a rather large group of breeders, although it wasn’t that easy to join this group. One would have to be sponsored by a member and had to grow a certain number of Skunks provided by the club as well as strains they brought in themselves. It is said that reasons for the restrictive access were quality control and stabilization of the genetics, cause quite frankly, the beginnings were tough; unstable genetics, difficult crosses, mould, just to name of couple of obstacles the breeders had to overcome.
The original Skunk is a hybrid cross of two Sativa landraces, Columbian Gold and Acapulco Gold, and an Afghani Indica landrace. It was in the 1980s that Skunk made it to the Netherlands where breeders finally stabilized the strain into one of the most appreciated cannabis varieties to date.
This masterpiece of cannabis breeding, nowadays, stands for reliable, rock-solid genetic composition, low-maintenance cultivation and large yields. Instability and vulnerability are history, one that today’s breeders don’t even remember.
Skunks generally fall into one of two flavour categories. The trait of US Skunk varieties is sharp and herbal, whereas European Skunks are described as sweet and citrusy.
What’s with the smell?
The smell of Skunk strains has often been linked to the smell of the spray from a Skunk, strong and pungent. It is the terpenes, aromatic compounds that are found in thousands of plant species, that are responsible for the various flavours and fragrances of all cannabis strains. As a side note, cannabis produces over 140 different terpenes. These can be found in varying concentrations in different cannabis varieties.
When you browse through our Skunk cannabis seeds collection, you’ll quickly notice that we offer a wide range of Skunk hybrids. By now, there are so many Skunk crosses with sometimes only slight modifications on the market, that growers could simply be overwhelmed by the wealth of supply. But no worries, with our built-in filters you will easily find the perfect Skunk for you!
Skunk #1 – parent with a lot of offspring
Skunk #1 is one of the easiest strains to grow, and is highly recommended for beginners. It is regarded as a very stable and homogeneous plant, thanks to years and years of dedicated breeding efforts. The old school classic remains a favourite amongst many cannabis lovers, and it is parent to a lot of Skunk crosses, such as Super Skunk, Pot of Gold, Shiva Skunk, Critical+, and Cheese . The potency of this branch of the cannabis family tree is infamous, which is why Skunk has become synonymous with powerful Ganja.
Breeders regard Skunk #1 as the benchmark of uniform, reliable performance. Her rock-solid genotype has influenced hundreds of modern hybrids. Skunk #1’s energetic performance and bountiful yields demonstrate the true meaning of hybrid vigour.
