If there is a variety of marijuana that changed forever the trend of cannabis cultivation that was Skunk#1. For the first time in history, a hybrid perfectly blended the best of sativa and indica plants. But it also contained all the virtues that can be expected of a weed. What is Skunk cannabis strain like? As we said, the Skunk#1 was revolutionary because until that date there was no hybrid that could blend perfectly both spectra of cannabis genetics. It is also the first IBL variety in history, in other words, the first "pure" variety created by man. It can be said that this strain contains the characteristics most desired in the sativas but with the advantages offered by the Indicas. It is stable and homogeneous, with few phenotypes that are repeated to a greater or lesser extent depending on the breeding line. Skunk is a plant with sativa soul in the body of an Indica, with a power that once set a milestone, and organoleptic qualities never discovered until that date. What genetics does the mythical Skunk#1 contain? In a way Skunk genetics is related to Haze, at least in its origin. Until about 1970, the main plants in California and other parts of the west coast of the USA were Mexican sativas and crosses of these. A Sativa hybrid that I liked a lot back then was Colombian Gold crossed with Highland Oaxaca Gold, that is, Colombian X Mexican. This hybrid was the basis of both the Original Haze, to which Thai and Kerala were later incorporated, and Skunk#1 where it was later crossed with Afghanis. The Haze had a higher quality effect, but the lower production and especially the eternal flowering, caused many to stop cultivating sativas and start planting Skunk#1 massively. Our Skunk is the feminized version of the legendary Skunk#1, which came to Europe from his cannabis father, breeder David Watson, better known as Sam The Skunkman. In Holland it continued to be cultivated on a massive scale, and ended up in different seed banks with different trade names.
