Aladdin's Skunk
Also known as: Aladdin Skunk, Al's Skunk
Aladdin's Skunk Strain Overview
Aladdin's Skunk is a pure selection of the original Skunk #1 strain, developed by Sacred Seed Co. in the early 1970s and later worked with by the Super Sativa Seed Club. This strain represents one of the first indoor varieties ever created, revolutionizing the cannabis scene and serving as a foundation for hundreds of modern cannabis crosses including Jack Herer, Critical, and Super Silver Haze. Preserved by the underground cannabis community since the late 1980s, it is now maintained and distributed by Khalifa Genetics as an inbred line (IBL) demonstrating exceptional genetic and sexual stability.
The strain exhibits a complex genetic composition of 25% Afghan, 25% Thai, and 50% South American heritage, resulting in a mostly sativa-dominant hybrid with both indica and sativa characteristics. Despite flowering quickly and producing dense floral clusters, Aladdin's Skunk displays elegant foxtail-style buds that reveal its sativa heritage. Plants stretch more than typical Afghan varieties and produce quite long buds with high calyx-to-leaf ratios and abundant trichome production. The resin glands are notably gooey, greasy, and almost wet to the touch, contributing to excellent bag appeal with glistening, sticky flowers adorned with bright orange hairs.
Contrary to popular belief and its name, the original Skunk #1 does not possess a skunky aroma but rather offers very sweet and slightly fruity characteristics. The strain was named 'Skunk' because skunky plants were trendy in the 1970s and 1980s, though this particular line maintains the original sweet profile with pineapple and floral notes.
