Skunk strains are the real deal, proper legends that kicked off back in 1970s California when Sacred Seed Company and Sam the Skunkman got creative.
They crossed Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold sativas with an Afghani indica and came up with Skunk #1, the first truly stable hybrid that's gone on to parent thousands of modern varieties.
These strains are famous for their absolutely massive smell, so pungent and unforgettable that in the UK, people often just say "skunk" when they simply mean strong cannabis seeds.
Read MoreThe story behind skunk genetics
Skunk #1 set the whole thing in motion by blending three proper powerhouses. The Afghani side brought thick resin, shorter flowering, and serious weight. Acapulco Gold chipped in fruity flavours and that tropical vibe.
Colombian Gold added brightness and sativa energy. Mix them all together over several generations and you've got a balanced hybrid, originally about 75 per cent sativa, 25 per cent indica, though breeders have since nudged it every which way.
Some Skunk lines lean sativa, others lean indica, and plenty sit right in the middle. This genetic blueprint spread across Europe and North America like wildfire, and breeders still use pure Skunk plants to create new crosses today.
Super Skunk came from crossing Skunk #1 back to Afghani. Early Skunk mixed Skunk #1 with Early Pearl. Lemon Skunk paired the original with Citral.
The family tree just keeps branching out, and every branch carries that unmistakable Skunk backbone.
That unmistakable smell
What's the first thing anyone notices about Skunk? The scent can travel hundreds of metres on a breeze, and it's thick, piercing, and impossible to ignore. Classic Skunk smells like burnt rubber, garlic, petrol fumes, and a weird musky sweetness all rolled into one.
Some versions lean more towards roadkill stench, others drift citrusy and bright. Myrcene runs the show here, laying down that earthy, musky base. Limonene adds a sweet citrus sparkle.
Pinene brings fresh pine and sharp herbal notes. Beta-caryophyllene throws in a bit of spice and depth. Linalool softens things with gentle floral touches.
Skunk #1 itself balances vibrant earth underneath a sweet terpene layer, it's a proper symphony. Super Skunk goes citrus-heavy up front but keeps that classic dank earthiness humming along.
Early Skunk builds in stages: mild and earthy early on, diesel punching through mid-way, spicy notes after harvest, and floral hints once it's been cured properly. Every Skunk strain smells different, but they all share that core punch.
Flavour and what's inside
Skunk strains taste as complex as they smell, and fans absolutely love them for it. Sativa-leaning versions bring fruity flavours, citrus, orange, tropical fruit, whilst indica-leaning ones go sweet, musky, and earthy with hints of minty pine.
Lemon Skunk tastes exactly like its name suggests: bright lemon that lifts off the bud and hangs around on the tongue.
White Strawberry Skunk mixes strawberry, tropical fruit, mossy earth, and that signature skunky funk. Most Skunk strains clock in around 15 to 20 per cent THC, with plenty nudging above 20 per cent.
Sensi Seeds' Skunk #1 usually sits between 15 and 19 per cent THC, with about 1 per cent CBD and 1 per cent CBN. TH Seeds' Skunk XXX hits 15 to 20 per cent THC and finishes flowering in nine to ten weeks.
Some elite selections push past 25 per cent. The potency's there, but it's the flavour and smell that really make Skunk strains stand out.
