Skunk #1 in detail
Origin & classification
Skunk #1 is one of the defining classics of modern cannabis genetics. The line is generally traced back to a cross of Afghani, Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold, and is considered one of the strains on which many later hybrids are based.
Aroma & flavour
In terms of aroma, Skunk #1 is typically described with skunky, woody and fruity notes. It is precisely this blend of distinctive spice, light sweetness and classic depth that makes the strain so recognisable to this day.
Terpene profile
In terms of effects, Skunk #1 is often classified as balanced, present and distinctly old-school. The profile generally feels neither overly heavy nor purely head-focused, but rather stable, direct and characteristic.
Effect tendency
With a flowering time of around eight to nine weeks, Skunk #1 falls within the classic range. The strain remains relevant above all because it is not only historically important, but can still be viewed today as a clear reference for robust, recognisable hybrid lines.
