Skunk #1

A three-way hybrid stabilized by the Sacred Seeds collective around Santa Cruz, California. An Afghani x Colombian Gold cross was later crossed with Acapulco Gold to shorten flowering and raise yields. Widely treated as one of the first stable, high-potency hybrids and an ancestor of a huge share of modern strains.
