American Skunk Selection
American Skunk Selection
Also known as: A.S.S., ASS
Overview
American Skunk Selection is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Bodhi Seeds as part of their modern cannabis breeding efforts. Bred by Bodhi Seeds, this strain is a standout example of modern cannabis breeding that can be traced back to the classic Skunk #1, a strain iconic for its resilient nature and strong sensory profile, with Bodhi Seeds strategically crossing various Skunk strains to capture the best aspects of this lineage. Statistical breeding records indicate that over 60% of its genetic makeup stems from traditional Skunk genetics, with the remainder contributed by carefully selected complementary strains.
According to breeding records, the specific #1 phenotype features genetics from Hippy Slayer as the female parent crossed with Hells Angels OG x Roadkill Skunk as the male parents. Bodhi never sold these seeds commercially due to the recessive nature of the Skunk genetics, but distributed the #1 cut to friends, making authentic versions relatively rare in circulation.
The strain exhibits dense and robust buds with a generous coating of trichomes that glisten under light, with coloration that usually showcases vibrant shades of green punctuated by hints of purple and orange pistils. Most notably, the strain carries a potent, skunky odor that harks back to its Skunk #1 origins, with earthy undertones mingling seamlessly with a surprising sweetness.

Growing Information
Under optimal conditions, the flowering time can be as short as 8 to 9 weeks, which is considerably lower than many traditional strains, making it a go-to choice for both amateur and professional cultivators alike. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings, with temperature ranges ideally between 70°F and 80°F during the flowering stage. ASS #1 thrives under HPS lights and benefits from nutrient-rich soils. It's a heavy feeder, requiring regular attention to nutrients and watering. The strain is noted for being one of the skunkiest cuts available, so odor control is essential for indoor cultivation.
