Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1
Also known as: Sativa Skunk Mix, Skunk Sativa Hybrid
Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1 Strain Overview
Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1 is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between various sativa genetics and the foundational Skunk #1 cultivar. This strain emerged during the late 1990s and early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the uplifting, cerebral effects of sativa varieties with the robust growth characteristics and distinctive aroma of Skunk #1. The exact sativa parentage varies between different breeders' interpretations, often incorporating landrace sativas from regions like Thailand, Colombia, or South Africa, which contributes to some variability in the final product.
The plants typically display sativa-dominant characteristics with elongated, slender leaves and a taller growth structure, though they maintain some of the bushier traits inherited from Skunk #1. Buds are usually medium to large in size, with a dense structure covered in a generous layer of trichomes. The coloration ranges from light to medium green, often with subtle orange pistils. The aroma profile combines the classic skunky, musky notes of its Skunk #1 parent with the brighter, more citrus or floral notes contributed by the sativa genetics.
As a hybrid, Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1 offers a balanced experience that combines the energetic, creative effects associated with sativas with the body relaxation characteristic of Skunk #1. The strain has been noted for its versatility and has been used as a breeding parent in numerous subsequent hybrid developments. Due to the variability in its exact genetic composition, individual phenotypes may show significant differences in effect profile, aroma, and growth characteristics.

Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1 Strain Growing Information
Mixed Sativa x Skunk 1 is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate. The plants typically have a flowering time of 9-11 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors if given sufficient space. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though outdoor cultivation in temperate climates with plenty of sunlight yields the best results. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants require good air circulation and benefit from training techniques like topping or LST to manage height and improve light penetration. They are moderately resistant to pests and mold but can be susceptible to nutrient burn if overfed.
