Skunk 47
Also known as: AK Skunk
Skunk 47 Strain Overview
Skunk 47 is a heavily indica-dominant hybrid strain (90% indica/10% sativa) created through crossing the legendary Skunk #1 with AK-47. Bred by World of Seeds Bank, Skunk 47's parents were selected for pungent aromas and fast flowering cycles. The Skunk lineage traces back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when American breeders stabilized a triad of Afghani, Colombian, and Mexican genetics into what would be popularized as Skunk #1. AK-47 rose to prominence in the 1990s as a sativa-dominant hybrid known for cerebral clarity and creative euphoria, characterized as energizing with higher THC than average.
This strain produces dense, spade-shaped yellow-green buds with orange hairs and a thick coating of golden crystal trichomes. Skunk 47 plants have a high resistance to mold and pests, making them suitable for both novice and commercial growers. The cross combines the pungent, fast-flowering Skunk family traits with the high-octane, sativa-leaning characteristics of AK-47, creating a strain prized for its reliable vigor, confident yields, and sensory profile that ranges from savory skunk to bright herbal spice. Detailed analysis from early growers credited its popularity to not only its potency but also its consistent performance across various growing environments, with the genetic balance providing both potent effects and robust, resilient growth.
