Skunk 47 is the result of crossing our Skunk#1 mother, which was the first real indica-sativa hybrid comprising Afghan, Mexican and Colombian genetics and which changed the face of cannabis culture across the globe with the famous AK 47 mainly sativa hybrid that has an ultra quick flowering cycle and a very fruity taste.
Although the genetics of both are similar in many respects, by crossing them we’ve improved many of these shared characteristics, resulting in a bushy, vigorously growing indica that produces great yields; highly valued commercially for her compact buds and very intense Skunky taste and aroma.
Strain FAQ
Why do strains finish at the Beginning of October?
These genetically engineered strains flower earlier to prevent late fall cold and shorter days. Northern legal producers use it to ensure their plants finish their cycle in time to avoid seasonal environmental issues.
Why are Pest-resistant strains better for the environment?
Pest-resistant cannabis strains generally promote organic and sustainable growing. These cultivars reduce synthetic pesticide use, improving ecosystems and lowering cannabis' environmental impact.
Which terpenes contribute to the citrus taste?
The terpene Terpinolene adds richness to the citrus aromas with pine, flowery and herb undertones. Despite not being citrus-scented, it contributes to the citrus profile.
What role does selective breeding play in greenhouse strain development?
Breeders for greenhouse cultivation obviously select traits that thrive in that environment. They generally select strains with compact growth to fit more plants and early blooming to match the greenhouse's light schedule.
How have indica strains been used traditionally?
Indica strains were used in ancient medicines and rituals long before they became popular among cannabis users. This strong cultural connection shows indica strains' extensive past in human history.
