Seb's take
Afghani crossed with Skunk #1, a pairing old enough to need no introduction — skunk and citrus over earthy pine and wood. The high runs the full course: relaxed and happy first, sleepy and tingly last, euphoric throughout. Fast-flowering and forgiving of enthusiasm, this is one for growers just starting out.
Where it comes from
Two of the oldest names in the book meet here, Afghani, the broad-leaved indica at the root of countless modern strains, and Skunk #1, arguably the most influential hybrid ever stabilised. G13 Labs put the two together for a plant that needs little introduction on pedigree alone. This is foundational stock rather than fashionable crossing: an Afghani indica given Skunk's reliability and vigour, a pairing that built half the catalogue that followed.
Nose & flavour
A full spread. Skunk and citrus lead, bright and funky, over an earthy base with pine and a woody depth beneath. It runs the length of the savoury spectrum, from sharp peel at the top to forest floor at the bottom, layered, and unmistakably rooted in its Skunk and Afghani parents.
The high
This one travels the whole arc. Relaxed and happy to begin, euphoric throughout, then sleepy and pleasantly tingly as it settles, the sativa brightness of Skunk giving way to the Afghani weight. At 17% THC it is potent without being punishing, and honest company from the first draw to the last.
Growing it
Fast and forgiving, a fine one for a first grow. Flowering wraps in around 60 days, quick by any measure, and she yields a generous 550 g/m² for the trouble. The Skunk and Afghani heritage makes her hardy and adaptable, comfortable in almost any conditions and untroubled by a beginner's mistakes. At 17% THC, she gives back far more than her easy temperament would suggest you are owed.
