Original Skunk #1 FAST
Also known as: Skunk #1 Fast Version, Skunk #1 Fast Flowering
Original Skunk #1 FAST Strain Overview
Original Skunk #1 FAST is a photoperiod cannabis strain developed by Sensi Seeds as a faster-flowering version of their classic Skunk #1. This strain maintains the genetic profile of the original Skunk #1 while incorporating traits that accelerate the flowering process, making it more suitable for growers in regions with shorter growing seasons or those seeking quicker harvest cycles. The strain was created through selective breeding of Skunk #1 phenotypes that exhibited naturally shorter flowering times, preserving the distinctive characteristics of the original while improving cultivation efficiency.
The strain exhibits the classic Skunk #1 appearance with dense, resinous buds that display a mix of deep green and purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The plant structure is typically bushy with strong lateral branching, characteristic of its hybrid heritage. The aroma profile combines the signature skunky scent with sweet, earthy undertones and subtle fruity notes, though the intensity of the skunk odor has been somewhat reduced compared to the original through decades of selective breeding.
Original Skunk #1 FAST is notable for maintaining the balanced effects of its predecessor while offering improved cultivation characteristics. The strain has become popular among both commercial and home growers who appreciate the reliability and consistency of Skunk #1 genetics but require faster turnaround times. It represents an important development in cannabis breeding, demonstrating how classic strains can be adapted to meet modern cultivation needs without sacrificing their essential qualities.

Original Skunk #1 FAST Strain Growing Information
Original Skunk #1 FAST is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 7-8 weeks indoors, significantly faster than the original Skunk #1's 9-10 week flowering period. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields averaging 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor yields reaching 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. They prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outside. The strain responds well to most training techniques including topping, LST (low stress training), and SCROG (screen of green). It has good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper ventilation is important during flowering to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, and the plants benefit from a balanced feeding regimen with slight phosphorus emphasis during flowering.
