Skunk 1 reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Skunk 1.
In regards to the post saying that the old school skunk 1 is still around or is the same he is sadly mistaken. If you can produce me a sample that is anywhere close then do it. The Dutch seed banks used it to make a lot of nice strains but since there are no real skunks in Europe the people there do not know what skunk smells like. Skunk is a rodent animal that puts off a foul odor to defend itself from pray. The seed banks there do not have a true breeding skunk 1 and I think it is in part 1 David Watson aka Sam Selenzy aka Sam the Skunk man stole the strain from the sacred seed collective when it was raided in California and took it to Holland. He was a junior member of Sacred seeds and was not a master breeder. I think he was a DEA agent but good luck trying to find that info. I find it funny that after the sacred seed collective was raided David Watson went to Holland and was given the permission to grow. The start of the cannabis cup brought all the big cannabis cultivators together at once and the DEA had began Operation Green Merchant. In 1990 or 91 Neville was arrested in Australia and the United States was trying to extradite him but after a year I believe he made bail and fled back to Europe in which Watson supposedly had taken all the skunk 1 stock. I know people who ordered seeds from the seed bank of Holland in the late 80s and when the early 90s orders were purchased I was told the seeds still had quality but they were all mixed up. Skunk 1 does still exist I believe but only a lucky few have her.
A classic strain I recommend try at least once, tasty and one of the most "cannabish" flavor (just like what the plant smells like).
Great taste for begginers.
Indica Dominant Hybrid - 65% Indica / 35% Sativa
THC: 15% - 19%, CBD: 1%, CBN: 1%
Skunk #1, also known as “#1” or simply as “Skunk," actually has less THC than its reputation might suggest: about 15-19% tops. But this remains one of the most famous strains of all time, born three decades ago in Holland, where breeders crossed multiple strains from South and Central America, Thailand, and Afghanistan. The result became a staple in itself and spawned countless hybrids containing its genes. True to its name, Skunk #1 smells decidedly skunky, while the taste is a mix of sour and earthy flavors. This is an indica-dominant strain (35:65 sativa/indica ratio) best used late in the day. Though it comes with a head buzz that belies its indica genes, Skunk #1 also provides deep-body relaxation. The head high is energetic and creative, while the body high is peaceful and soothing. It can be used to treat anxiety and other mental disorders, as well as chronic pain, headaches, and lack of appetite. This strain remains highly popular in Amsterdam, and though it can be found across the United States, it's mostly found on the West Coast, Arizona, and Colorado. Dry mouth is the most common problem associated with this strain, as well as paranoia and red eyes.

pretty good
TRUE SKUNK!I wanted to try it for a while since I saw it then remembered kotton mouth kings sing about skunk #1, only a portion of the pre-roll has me very bed destined yet with enough energy to type this. , Awesome. Wish I got more than one.
Get it!
I've yet to see one location in Florida that has skunk number one. Super disappointing. Also no real Northern Lights. Wtf?
Although made widely available by Sacred Seeds, Skunk #1 got its name from its creator, Larry the Skunkman. The strain is 50% Colombian gold, 25% Alcopulco Gold, and 25% Afghani #1. This true breeding, stable strain was created in California, and brought to Amsterdam in 1977 by Larry. Being stable, there are no Phenotypes therefore no “Versions” of Skunk #1. Being so old and so widely regarded, only if you have a reputable source or start from a breeder seed pack will you know you are getting true Skunk #1. Sensi seed Bank and Dutch Passion still has the original available. The first variety I ever grew to harvest successfully, in 1996…
Definitely an energetic strain makes you hyper focus on what ever you’re looking at and all pains i had in my hands and back were gone right after smoking
