About Skunk #1

Skunk #1 is one of the most influential hybrids ever developed. Created in the 1970s from Afghani, Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold, it is widely credited to Sam the Skunkman and Sacred Seeds in California, and it later became a cornerstone of Dutch breeding. Countless modern strains trace part of their lineage to it.

The aroma is exactly what the name promises: a pungent, skunky funk with an earthy base and a sweet finish. Myrcene, often linked to earthy and musky scents, typically leads the profile, while caryophyllene adds spice and pinene a hint of pine. Buds are usually dense and light green with orange pistils.

Skunk #1 is commonly described as happy, relaxed and uplifted, a balanced profile that many consumers enjoy at any time of day. THC typically falls between 15% and 19%, though potency varies by grower and batch.

With moderate THC and a long track record, Skunk #1 can suit newer consumers as well as longtime fans. Start low and go slow, and check the lab results on the package. Find Skunk #1 at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you on WhereLeaf.
