Tested 11/22/2025 - Skunk #1 is one of the most influential cultivars in modern cannabis history — a foundational hybrid originally created by Sacred Seeds in the 1970s, refined by Sam the Skunkman, and carried into the global genetic library through breeders like Flying Dutchmen and Sensi Seeds. Its legendary three-way lineage — Afghani × Acapulco Gold × Colombian Gold — is responsible for the bright citrus snap, the warm tropical spice, and the deep old-world earthiness that define the strain.
This batch was grown by True Mom & Pop in the Bridgeville Appellation of Humboldt County, a rugged stretch of the Van Duzen watershed known for steep ridgelines, cold nights, and wildly fertile forest loam. The region produces some of the state's most terpene-dense outdoor resin, and Skunk #1 responds beautifully to that environment — expressing its classic funk with more citrus lift, woodland spice, and piney clarity than most indoor expressions can achieve.
On the palate, Skunk #1 opens with lemon zest, peppery spice, and warm herbal wood, followed by a forest-floor earthiness that nods back to its Afghani roots. A subtle sweetness — almost floral, almost fruity — lingers behind the classic skunky edge. Reviewers often describe it as 'citrus, spice, and pine in perfect balance', 'a true old-school funk with clarity,' and 'the original hybrid flavor that everything else imitates.'
The experience is equally classic: clear, energetic, and uplifting, with a smooth body undertone that stays functional and grounded. It's a cultivar that feels timeless — bright enough for creative daytime use, steady enough for evening focus — and unmistakably rooted in cannabis history.
