Our notes on Skunk #1
Skunk #1 is genealogy itself. Released by Sacred Seeds in the late 1970s and refined by Sensi, it's the genetic backbone of hundreds of modern hybrids. Plants are short, fast, and uniform — the strain that essentially proved cannabis breeding could produce a stable F1 hybrid. Aroma is the eponymous skunk: pungent, sour, slightly sweet, with hints of overripe fruit. The high is balanced and clear, more uplifting than its modern descendants. Easy to grow, tolerant of poor technique, and a smart choice for any first-time grower wanting to understand the lineage of everything else they'll ever smoke. Smell control is essential during late flower; the name is not a metaphor.
