Few cannabis seeds can match the history of Skunk#1. It is one of the most famous cannabis strains and bred by the first cannabis seed bank in the world. You might be too young to remember the early days of Skunk cannabis strains, but the chances are you know all about Skunk#1 and the impact it made. As soon as the first sweet skunk phenotype sprouted, the days of hashish being the only smoke in town were numbered. Skunk cannabis changed so much and scared so many.
While growers and smokers were happy to embrace this new super strain, the non-cannabis public quickly labelled anything green as Skunk and highly dangerous. For some, names like 'Super Skunk' and 'Skunk#1' became buzzwords for hard drugs. For others, they signalled the dawn of a bright new horizon of fast-flowering cannabis hybrids and accessible cannabis seeds. It was, and still is, one of the most robust and best-performing plants you can cultivate.
Present day, there are thousands more cannabis strains from when Skunk#1 was introduced. But that doesn't mean that the Skunk plant is not still loved. Countless breeders and seedbanks still use pure skunk plants and hybrids to create some of the most exciting cannabis seeds you can buy.
So, in homage to the groundbreaking plant that was bred and first released by Sensi Seeds, we've listed the Top 5 Best Skunk Cannabis Strains at the Amsterdam Seed Center.
