Skunk1 '88
Also known as: Skunk1 1988, Skunk #1 '88
Skunk1 '88 Strain Overview
Skunk1 '88 is a unique phenotype representing 100% pure genetics from the eighties, resulting from a selection of batch skunk1 seeds preserved from 1988. The original is a blend of Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian genetics. This particular cut preserves the classic Skunk #1 lineage without modern modifications, maintaining its historical genetic integrity. With virtually zero phenotype variation due to the purity of genetics, this is considered a perfect strain for cultivation and breeding new hybrids.
The strain exhibits a 60% indica to 40% sativa ratio and grows with longer lateral branches that become full of buds, which thicken during flowering like a typical indica and require support. Skunk #1 achieved legendary status after winning the inaugural High Times Cannabis Cup in 1988, cementing its reputation and ensuring its genetics would be preserved worldwide. The strain was originally developed by David Watson (Sam the Skunkman) and his team at Sacred Seeds in California during the 1970s, arriving in the Netherlands in 1982 where it sparked the indoor growing revolution.
