Seb's take
Skunk #1 crossed with Ruderalis for a plant with its parent's resistance to pests and disease, and its habit of announcing itself in flower well before harvest — a carbon filter is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. Indica-dominant, finishing in a brisk 40-55 days at a modest 80-100cm. Little fuss, less discretion.
Where it comes from
White Label crossed Skunk #1 with ruderalis to take an already tough plant and make it tougher still. Skunk #1 was known for shrugging off pests and disease while asking very little in return; the ruderalis addition layers on further resistance, shortens the flowering, and lowers the bar for a first-time grower to clear. Sixty-five percent indica, the result is a plant built almost entirely around resilience and ease — the classic Skunk temperament, tidied into an autoflower that a beginner can hardly get wrong.
Nose & flavour
The record lists no formal tasting notes, but it does warn, as it must with any Skunk, that she begins to smell the moment the first flowers form. From the Skunk #1 parentage one can safely expect the pungent, earthy, unmistakably skunky register the line is built on. A carbon filter or a screen of companion plants is a sensible precaution rather than an indulgence; this is not a plant that keeps its own counsel.
The high
No effect profile is set down, and I would sooner leave the space honest than fill it with guesswork. What the make-up tells us is modest and fair: a 65% indica of Skunk descent tends toward the settled and comfortable rather than the racy. Beyond that general lean the record is silent, and on this occasion so am I.
Growing it
THC runs 12–17%, with 1% CBD. The record has her finishing in a brisk 40–55 days from sprouting — quick even by autoflower standards — at a modest 80–100cm, and returning 350–450 g/m². Sixteen plants per square metre is the recommendation, in containers of twenty-five litres or more. She is bred for resistance and ease above all, so she forgives the ordinary missteps and gets on with it. Little fuss to grow, and rather less discretion once she flowers — set your ventilation early.
