Seb's take
Critical Auto and Skunk #1 paired with Ruderalis for a durable, resistant autoflower that yields well for the trouble. Sweet, fruity and floral on the nose, turning dank and sour once lit; the high runs social, giggly and calming. A dependable strain dressed up in a classic name.
Where it comes from
This one traces to Critical Auto and Skunk #1, with the original Skunk paired to ruderalis to produce an autoflowering version of a genuine classic. The crossing yields a durable, highly resistant plant with favourable returns and more staying power than either parent, which is a fair trade for the convenience of an auto. A dependable strain wearing one of the most storied names in the catalogue, and living up to it without much theatre.
Nose & flavour
Admirably flavourful, this: sweet and flowery up front with fruity underpinnings holding beneath. Then you light it, and the classic Skunk character asserts itself, developing dank, sour undertones that give the smoke real depth. The shift from the sweet dry nose to the sour burn is the whole pleasure of it, and a reminder of why the Skunk line has never gone out of fashion.
The high
A sociable, good-humoured effect rather than a sedating one. It runs social, giggly and calming, the sort of high that suits company and light conversation more than a quiet evening alone. There is enough of a relaxed edge to keep things gentle without pinning anyone to the furniture. An easy, agreeable sort of experience, and a fine choice when there are people about.
Growing it
Durable and highly resistant, with better resilience than its parents and favourable yields to match. She finishes in 56 days and reaches a medium 80 to 100cm, so she fits most spaces comfortably. Indoors she returns 400 to 500 g/m². The genetics are 65 percent indica, 35 percent sativa, with THC at 20 percent. Her ruderalis backbone makes her forgiving of enthusiasm and steady through less-than-perfect conditions, which is exactly what you want from a first Skunk.
