How to grow Old Early Skunk
Taste
Seb's take
Six classics — Early Pearl, Skunk, Northern Lights, Ortega, Afghani SA and Hash Plant — all feeding into one family tree, which goes some way to explaining why Old Early Skunk arrives so potent and productive. A strain with more ancestors than most royal houses, and the pedigree shows.
Where it comes from
Six classics feed into one family tree here, Early Pearl, Skunk, Northern Lights, Ortega, Afghani SA and Hash Plant, each a name in its own right. That is a richer pedigree than most royal houses can claim, and it goes some way to explaining why Hero Seeds' Old Early Skunk arrives so potent and so productive. There is no single dominant parent to point to; the strength comes from the accumulation. A strain assembled from the good bones of half a dozen legends, and the breeding shows.
Nose & flavour
No precise tasting notes are recorded, though with Skunk in the name and the lineage, one can fairly expect the pungent and the sharp to feature. The Afghani and Hash Plant beneath argue for an earthy, hashy weight underneath that. But on the specifics, Seb leaves the last word to your own nose; the parentage points a direction rather than settling the matter.
The high
The record commits to potency without cataloguing the particulars, potent and powerful, at 22% THC, built on a lineage of heavy hitters. A 60% indica lean suggests a high weighted toward the relaxed and seated, though with no effect notes set down, that is inference from the genetics rather than a documented promise. A strain of this billing rewards a careful first acquaintance.
Growing it
Flowering time and height both go unrecorded, so this is a plant to read by temperament rather than the tape measure and the calendar. What the record does state is the yield, a heavy 600 g/m² indoors, which, alongside a heritage of productive parents, marks her as a generous grower. The rich genetic base tends to bring resilience with it, the reward of so many hardy ancestors. Grow her as you would any vigorous skunk-and-Afghani cross, and let the pedigree do its work.
