Neville's Skunk
Also known as: Neville Skunk
Neville's Skunk Strain Overview
Neville's Skunk is a legendary cannabis strain developed by renowned breeder Neville Schoenmakers, founder of The Seed Bank (which later became Sensi Seeds). This strain represents a significant milestone in cannabis breeding history, created during the 1980s when Schoenmakers was pioneering the development of stabilized hybrid varieties. The strain emerged from extensive selective breeding programs aimed at combining the best traits of classic landrace genetics with modern cultivation characteristics.
The strain is a carefully balanced hybrid that combines Skunk #1 genetics with carefully selected Afghani indica varieties. Neville's Skunk is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that display a classic appearance with vibrant green coloration and occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The flowers are typically covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain is noted for its robust growth structure and reliable performance, making it a favorite among both breeders and cultivators.
Neville's Skunk holds historical significance as one of the foundational strains that helped establish modern cannabis breeding practices. It represents the transition from traditional landrace cultivation to deliberate hybridization and stabilization. The strain's genetics have influenced numerous subsequent varieties and remain sought after by preservationists and breeders interested in classic cannabis genetics. While not as commonly available as commercial hybrids today, Neville's Skunk maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its historical importance and consistent quality.

Neville's Skunk Strain Growing Information
Neville's Skunk 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 northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often reaching 150-200 cm outdoors, with indoor plants typically kept shorter through training techniques. Neville's Skunk responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) methods to maximize yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The plants prefer a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels during flowering. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen during flowering. This strain is known for its resilience and resistance to common pests and diseases when grown in proper conditions.
