AMSTERDAM SKUNK

“COFFEESHOP CLASSICS” 

 
Skunk holds a significant place in cannabis history. Its creation by cultivator ‘Sam the Skunkman’ in the late 1970s revolutionized the cannabis industry. By combining the genetics of Afghan Indica, Mexican Sativa, and Colombian Gold Sativa, Skunk became the world’s first stabilized hybrid (Indica x Sativa) strain. Its remarkable qualities, potent effects, high resin production, and relatively short flowering time quickly garnered attention and acclaim.
 
The recognition of Skunk culminated in its victory at the Amsterdam Cannabis Cup in 1988, solidifying its status as a legendary strain. Its success further propelled it into the spotlight, leading to widespread cultivation and distribution. Dutch seed banks were pivotal in popularizing Skunk, making it available to growers worldwide. Skunk played a crucial role in the development of the modern cannabis industry, influencing growing and breeding programs. Its stable genetics, dense flowers, and potent effects have made it a staple in cannabis culture, earning it a devoted following among enthusiasts worldwide.
 
Over the years, Skunk formed the base of many hybrid varieties, further expanding its influence on the cannabis market. While newer strains may offer novel flavors and effects, Skunk remains a classic and beloved choice for many cannabis consumers. The name “Skunk” reflects the distinctive aroma of the strain, which connoisseurs often describe as musky or earthy. Combining Indica and Sativa genetics elements, the Indica-dominant Skunk is known for its conversation-stopping effects. In addition to this heavy, couch-locked buzz, Skunk receives praise for its incredibly high resin production and heavy yield, which makes it a popular choice for cannabis concentrates and extracts. The plant is typically robust, forgiving, and easy to grow, making it a favorite among cultivators of all skill levels.
 
After their vegetative stage, these Skunk plants usually require about 7-8 weeks to complete the flowering stage, although this can vary depending on the specific phenotype and growing conditions.
