Skunk #1 x South African
Also known as: South African Skunk
Skunk #1 x South African Strain Overview
Skunk #1 x South African represents a fascinating hybrid cross between the legendary Skunk #1 and traditional South African landrace sativa genetics. Skunk #1, developed in the 1970s by Sacred Seeds, is renowned for its stable genetics, pungent aroma, and balanced effects, having been created from a combination of Afghan indica, Mexican sativa, and Colombian Gold. The South African component likely derives from indigenous landrace strains known for their energetic, cerebral effects and distinctive terpene profiles that evolved naturally in the African climate.
This hybrid combines the robust, reliable growing characteristics and skunky aromatics of Skunk #1 with the uplifting, creative energy typical of South African sativas. The resulting strain typically exhibits medium to tall plant structure with good branching, reflecting its mixed genetic heritage. Plants often display the classic Skunk structure with dense, resinous buds while maintaining some of the longer flowering characteristics of the sativa lineage. The appearance usually features medium to large dense buds with a generous coating of trichomes and occasional purple hues from the South African genetics.
