About Skunk #1
Developed in California during the 1970s, Skunk #1 was created to provide a level of consistency that was previously unavailable in the variable seed stock of the era. The pedigree is widely cited as a cross of (Afghani × Colombian Gold) × Acapulco Gold. Sam the Skunkman selected the line for uniform growth, heavy resin production, dense flowers, and a flowering window suitable for indoor cultivation. Upon its arrival in the Netherlands, it became essential breeding stock for countless subsequent hybrids, including Ultra Skunk, Cheese Exodus, and White Widow. The aroma is famously pungent, featuring notes of earth, sweet fruit, herbs, pine, and sour funk, with variations ranging from sweet and fruity to acrid. Users report a balanced experience ranging from creative energy to mellow relaxation.
