Newbie grower need 2 different strains for my outdoor 5-6 gallon pot grow. I want some indica/indica dominant plants that have some colorful buds and yield a lot also easy to grow too! Any help is appreciated thanks!
if you want a nice indica dominated one the Skunk 1# is a great choice, tho not that colorful
btw
if you grow em outdoors, is there any reason why you use pot`s then ? any safety issues ? if not I would for sure get em in the ground, in the ground is No1 for sure, will grow in to tree`s instead of small plants
The strain that changed the face of cannabis culture across the world continues to amaze weed-lovers more than a quarter-century after her release! The original Skunk hybrids fused traditional cultivars from Central and South America, Afghanistan and Thailand. Through generations of intensive selection and back-crossing, the very best examples of Skunk were stabilised into the first true-breeding Indica-Sativa hybrid - the classic Indica-dominant Skunk #1.
The potency of this branch of the cannabis family tree is so notorious that skunk is often used as a name for any powerful ganja. Breeders regard Skunk #1 as the benchmark of uniform, reliable performance and her rock-solid genotype has influenced a hundred modern hybrids. Skunk#1s energetic performance and bountiful yields demonstrate the true meaning of hybrid vigour. Growth and flowering are mostly-Indica in appearance, with Skunk #1 gaining a little more height than a pure Indica when blooming. The extra-dark green of this strains leaves comes from her Afghanica ancestors and contrasts sharply with her lime-green growing tips.
Flowering is very fast and Skunk #1 produces robust stems and branches to support her superior yields. Short internodal gaps quickly close when her nodes explode into dense, rounded flower clusters which merge into huge, heavy terminal buds by the end of the blooming phase. Fan leaves can show many shades of colour at the end of flowering, as plants focus their energy on bud formation and resin production
Sativa heritage is most apparent in Skunk #1s beautiful calyxes, long, profuse pistils and her habit of expanding bud-growth in all directions as harvest time approaches. Sativa also has a wonderful influence on Skunk #1s potency and effect - a stunning combination of stone and high.
That description is very inaccurate. Skunk is mostly Columbian and Mexican with some Afghani thrown in the mix. Ask Sam the actual breeder of it and he will tell you the same. Sensi didn't breed this strain.
