Skunk is one of the most recognized hybrids by growers. This commercial fame has been earned, in part, by its correct nomenclature since Skunk specimens exude a very characteristic sweet aroma.
The Skunk story has enough material for a television series. One of the protagonists of the creation of this classic is the breeder Sam 'The Skunkman', who, with a group of partners, wrote the first lines of the legend.
The situation in the United States was delicate, as constant political pressure against drugs was common. Therefore, Skunk had to make the leap to the European continent, in search of an opportunity. And he did not lack time to find it, since it was transferred to a prestigious Dutch seed bank.
