Early Skunk Strain Overview
Early Skunk is a well-established indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Sensi Seeds in the 1990s to address the challenges of growing Skunk #1 in shorter, cooler outdoor seasons. Created through crossing Skunk #1 with Early Pearl, this strain combines approximately 65% indica and 35% sativa genetics, resulting in a versatile cultivar that maintains the legendary Skunk characteristics while offering improved resistance to cold temperatures and mold. The breeding goal was to bring the legendary Skunk #1 aroma and yield to cooler, shorter outdoor seasons while improving resistance to cold nights and wet Septembers. Early Skunk has won awards at various Cannabis Cups, including recognition as Best Outdoor Strain at the Highlife Cannabis Cup 2006. The strain is particularly valued for its robust growing characteristics, displaying dense, resinous buds with a crystalline coating of trichomes and a distinctive skunky aroma complemented by floral and earthy undertones. Early Skunk was specifically bred to resist mould and bud-rot, displaying many classic indica features including resin-coated flowers and sizeable yields.
