Funk
Also known as: Funk #1, Funk 1
Funk Strain Overview
Funk, also known as Funk #1, is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the collaboration between breeders at the now-defunct Sagarmatha Seeds and other European cannabis cultivators. The strain was developed to create a plant with distinctive aromatic qualities and balanced effects, drawing from both indica and sativa lineages. Its name derives from its pronounced funky, skunky aroma that combines with earthy and diesel undertones, creating a complex olfactory profile that has made it memorable among connoisseurs.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that display a range of green hues, often accented with purple or blue undertones when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Funk gained popularity in European cannabis circles before spreading to North America, where it has been used both as a standalone strain and as a breeding parent for other varieties due to its robust genetic profile and distinctive terpene expression.
Notable features of Funk include its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's complex aroma profile—often described as a blend of skunk, diesel, earth, and subtle fruity notes—has made it a favorite among those who appreciate pungent cannabis varieties. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, Funk maintains a dedicated following among experienced users who seek its unique sensory experience and reliable effects.

Funk Strain Growing Information
Funk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, up to 2 meters outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring for pests that may be attracted to the pungent aroma.
