Gonzo #1 Strain Overview
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.

Gonzo #1 Strain Growing Information
Gonzo #1 is considered an easy strain to grow, suitable for both experienced and novice cultivators. 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. The strain produces softball-size top colas and golf ball-size lower buds with heavy trichome production. However, it is not mold resistant and requires constant air circulation. The plant is sensitive during the 12/12 light cycle transition but is generally easy to clone. The strain thrives with proper ventilation and responds well to various growing heights.
