Why go Skunk? It's not exactly the most appetising name, is it? Yet it's prevalent around the world and considered a pillar of cannabis breeding. The strong diesel scent brings a real kick to many potent strains. Skunk began with Californian cultivators combining different landraces. The strains that spread from there bred Skunk into a wide range of hybrids. These became notorious for THC content climbing higher and higher. Skunk came to be appreciated for its potency as well as the ease with which its hybrids are grown in a variety of environments. When their dense buds flower, usually after a speedy flowering time, they will produce a powerful odour. Be prepared for the strong cerebral buzz they bring.

Here are five of the best Skunk hybrids we stock here at Royal Queen Seeds. Each is sure to please.

1. Ice

When it comes to exemplifying the wondrous possibilities of skunk hybrids, what better place to start than with ICE? This strain came together from breeding a very specific combination of plants together. Skunk and Afghani landraces were combined with Northern Lights and Shiva. Northern Lights is itself derived from an Afghani landrace, while Shiva itself is a crossbreed of Skunk and Northern Lights.

This breeding has led to an incredibly potent plant, covered in frosty trichomes for whose appearance the plant is named—making her an ideal choice for hash lovers. The uplifting high will leave you relaxed and happy, if not potentially dizzy. This will hit you hard with a strong minty flavour. Enjoy responsibly.

 

2. Special Queen 1

If you are new to cultivating Skunk strains, here's an easy place to get started. You can harvest Special Queen 1 within 8 weeks of flowering and potentially see hundreds of grams of bud. This will get you used to working with a low-maintenance Skunk strain. However, it will still lead to a potent experience, with THC content surpassing 18%. The high it gives you should shoot up like a rocket, and you may not come down for quite some time. This is a long-lasting high that surges soothing feelings throughout the body until entirely relaxed. The high is the result of balancing indica and sativa effects perfectly in this hybrid. Top it off with a flavour that blends fruity, and spicy tones and this will be a very satisfying addition to your stash.
