Skunk No. 1

Skunk No. 1 is a sativa dominant hybrid (60% sativa/40% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 20-26% on average, with 1% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Skunk No. 1 high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. Because of these effects, Skunk No. 1 is often chosen for managing mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Skunk No. 1 has a delicious skunk flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a skunk-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Skunk No. 1 offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Skunk family — see Sour Rootbeer Skunk and Sour Skunk for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
