Only a very small number of seeds really stand out in the western Canadian cannabis market.
Sweet Skunk the quintessential cannabis variety, loved by weed enjoyer, is one of the exceptions. When the smoke passes the lips and you start to feel the effect, you realize just how special this strain really is.
However, not being a huge yielder under most conditions and requiring around 10 11 weeks of flowering to full maturity (the buds have long tails of dense calyxes), some growers delight in decorating their gardens with it, making them a unique element for the inhabitants who reside in the northern part of Canada.
Sweet skunk of chimera a breedrs story
The feminized version of Sweeth Skunk is a sativa variety originally introduced to the market by Spice of Life Seed Bank in 1994. Its inherited strain from Chimera Seeds comes from an old clone of Big Skunk x Sweet Pink Grapefruit (aka Grapefruit) although at the time breeder Steve speculated that the plant was a Northern Light x haze male rather than a Big Skunk. This makes sense if we notice the hazy effect, but the structure is decidedly anything but similar. Apparently breeder Steve was growing in 2 trays; one with Big Skunk parent clones and one with Northern Light x haze. When it was time to flower one of the clones in the trays turned into a male flower pollinating all the females and producing the cannabis seeds which were later sold as Sweet Skunk.
The f1 seeds from this crossbreed were then planted and from a selection of them what is now known as the original “Bc Island Sweet Skunk” was chosen. Sometimes unscheduled pollinations can give surprising results, producing exceptional strains.
Breeder Steve did not make a pure Sweet Skunk line, nor was the original ever reissued. Other seedbanks however, have employed this clone and siblings selected from the same F1 population to produce their own versions of this strain and enter a fairly scarce market as a novelty (eg Island Sweet Skunk). DJ Short and Spice of Life recently created sweet blu, a hybrid of the special Sweet Skunk and DJ Blueberry belonging to a joint project. Unfortunately, there are still few reports of the feminized sweet skunk version
The first growers in Italy to grow it speak of a cannabis plant that loves to "strachare" a lot and which branches out with long foxtail buds typical of sativas for connoisseurs. Very easy to clone, it also has stable and fairly homogeneous phenotypes. Vigorous especially in the start, it does not disdain important doses of nitrogen in full vegetative phase.
As mentioned above, perhaps it is not the most suitable plant for first experiences, thanks to its long flowering period. Much loved by connoisseurs for its complex incense and spicy aroma. Definitely a sativa dominant variety, for true collectors.
