For "REAL"-- Skunk #1 - Where o where is the real skunk? The sticky icky as if you had just ran over an entire family of skunks?! If u tell me this actually exists, as a legal AZ cardholder… come on--WHERE is it? it doesn't exist as the strain it used to be, genetics gone forever...!
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…
A great recreational sativa dominant strain that I find gives me the giggles every time. Medium green chicken tender nugs with a sweet smell and sweeter taste. Not necessarily top shelf by todays standards but skunk 1 will always have a time and place. Its price makes it even more worth it.
Beautiful flowers of a bright green covered in trichomes, gave me a potent head high with a relaxed but energetic body buzz that was great for anytime of day.
After hitting a bowl I feeling it quick, Very active high, you mind doesnt stop going but I do know hitting it too hard (3 bowls), the tripy 3rd person feeling comes in. SO you can go as high as you like really, love it so far.
The smell always slays me and I feel I can get anything done that I need to after having this.
This strain is popular for a reason. Just a nice high to relax and enjoy anything.
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.
