Back due to popular demand! We have brought back the Skunk Special because it is still a great choice after all these years.
From all the Skunk-varieties that are on the market today, we selected the fastest producer of enormous buds with a strong skunk aroma and a heavy buzz. Skunk special is a stable strain with little variety between the individuals, this strain was developed in Dutch greenhouses and selected as one of the world's best flower-producers, then selected and refined to create an earlier maturing, more stable and consistent batch. This strain is ideal for indoor artificial light, yet also great outdoor growing as it does very well in temperate climates.
It all started back in '83 or '84 when Sam The Skunk Man himself was in Holland to do a Skunk project for Dutch greenhouses. The best one was selected out of around 10,000(!) plants
in this project and was cloned in selective circles in and around Rotterdam, Holland, gaining the nickname 'het Sammetje' (the Sammy), then in 1990 it arrived in Amsterdam and the A'dam scene had a go with it, continuing on through the whole of Holland.
The genetic make up is mostly of a Mexican Colombian Sativa with that Skunk piss smell that people talk about - this could be called the old-school skunk.

Why are Skunk strains essential to cannabis breeding?
Skunk strains, especially Skunk #1, inspired many hybrids. Skunk #1 was a pioneering stabilised combination of Afghani, Mexican Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold from the 1970s. This combination set the standard for cannabis breeding and was the foundation for many cannabis genotypes.
How do lighting requirements differ for short cannabis strains?
Short cannabis strains often require less intense lighting due to their compact size, which can make them more adaptable to varying indoor grow setups and reduce energy consumption.
