Gonzo #1
Also known as: Gonzo No. 1, Gonzo Number 1
What is the Gonzo #1 strain?
Gonzo #1 is a indica cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Gonzo #1 is a limited edition indica-dominant strain created by Reservoir Seeds as a tribute to the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the renowned gonzo journalist and cannabis enthusiast. This strain represents a classic indica combination that was entered in the 2005 High Times Cannabis Cup indica division. The strain resulted from crossing two absolute classics: Heirloom Skunk #1 (also known as M39 or Basic 5) with William's Wonder, creating what breeders described as an "absolutely world-class" combination. The genetics trace back to Afghani, Thai, and Colombian heritage, bringing together global cannabis genetics in a stable hybrid that honors old-school breeding traditions. William's Wonder, one of the parent strains, was specifically developed by Amsterdam's Super Sativa Seed Club (SSSC) for indoor cultivation using stable North-latitude adapted Afghani genetics. This breeding resulted in a strain that offers both the classic skunky characteristics and the reliable growing traits that made these genetics legendary in the cannabis community.

The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with flexibility in plant height ranging from 1-7 feet while still producing heavy, sticky trichomes and substantial yields. It has a flowering time of 65 days (approximately 9-10 weeks). For indoor cultivation, growers should use 600-watt HPS lighting and switch to a 12/12 photoperiod for flowering.
