Original Skunk #1 Auto
Also known as: Skunk #1 Autoflower, Auto Skunk #1
Original Skunk #1 Auto Strain Overview
Original Skunk #1 Auto is an autoflowering version of the legendary Skunk #1 strain, one of the most influential cannabis varieties in modern breeding history. Developed by crossing the classic Skunk #1 with autoflowering genetics, this strain maintains the distinctive characteristics of its parent while incorporating the automatic flowering trait from Cannabis ruderalis. The original Skunk #1 was created in the 1970s by Sacred Seeds (later Sensi Seeds) through a complex breeding program that combined Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold genetics. This autoflowering adaptation preserves the strain's iconic qualities while making it more accessible to growers of all experience levels.
The plant typically displays a balanced hybrid structure with medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The buds are dense and resinous, often displaying a mix of light and dark green colors with occasional purple hues under cooler temperatures. The most distinctive feature is the pungent aroma that gives the strain its name - a powerful combination of skunky, earthy notes with sweet undertones. The autoflowering characteristic means plants will automatically begin flowering based on age rather than light cycle, typically completing their life cycle in 8-10 weeks from seed.
Original Skunk #1 Auto is particularly notable for its consistency and reliability, traits inherited from its stable parent. While maintaining the classic Skunk #1 profile, the autoflowering version offers faster harvest times and greater discretion for growers. The strain has become popular among both novice and experienced cultivators seeking a proven genetic with the convenience of autoflowering technology. Its balanced effects and manageable growth characteristics have made it a staple in many autoflowering seed collections worldwide.

Original Skunk #1 Auto is considered easy to moderate difficulty, making it suitable for beginners. The autoflowering genetics allow for a complete life cycle of 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest.

Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent lighting (18-20 hours of light daily is optimal). The plants are relatively resistant to common pests and mold, but good air circulation is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
