Very few bags of pot stand out in the sea of commercially produced cannabis grown in western Canada. Sweet Skunk, a beloved smoke among well-connected connoisseurs, is an exception. The buds have long foxtails of stacked calyxes. Once the smoke crosses the lips and the effect sets in, the lucky toker realizes just how special this strain really is. However, since it isn’t a huge yielder under most conditions and requires 10 to 14 weeks of flowering to fully mature, few growers are willing to fill their gardens with it, making it something of a specialty item up here in the North.

Sweet Skunk was originally introduced by Spice of Life Seeds in 1994. The heritage was listed as Sensi Seed’s Big Skunk x Sweet Pink Grapefruit (a.k.a. Grapefruit) at the time, but Breeder Steve later speculated that the father was likely a NL x Haze male rather than a Big Skunk. This makes sense; the Southeast Asian “Hazey” bud structure is hard to ignore. Apparently, Steve had obtained two trays of clones for a grow, one labeled “Big Skunk” and the other “NL x Haze.” Upon planting and flowering the clones, one of the trays turned out to have a male that pollinated the crop, producing the seeds sold as Sweet Skunk. (Sometimes unplanned hybridization can yield outstanding individuals.) F1 seeds were planted, and an extreme sativa-leaning selection (SS #10) was chosen out of a roomful of indica-dominant girls. This clone is now known in BC as the original Sweet Skunk clone.

fuk nevermind if i gotta deal w/ foxtails and low yield.....i hate both!!!! errrrr

^sounds nice to me. but I love haze, so i will put up with the fox tails, and fatten them up with some bud blood which would also control stretch

I would definitely not call Sweet Skunk from SOL a low yielder, maybe not the biggest but certainly not low!

I used to hold the clone used it to make some crosses like this Swt #4 x BB/Swt Skunk which I have since backcrossed to Sweet Tooth twice now after the first F1 crossing. Lovely stuff, frosty!

Not pure Swt Skunk but you get the idea, these are Swt Sk dominant the bud is from the plant shown below which I also used to make some more seeds from with a Swt #4 male, and now have 2 going that were hit AGAIN with the new special candy GF Swt #4 male. Smells like incense when it burns, you can tell it's the fruity magic very old school.

why do you hate foxtails ?

 

[SOTF420]

Foxtails rule

Same plant as above up close, again only a Swt Sk cross not pure but sativa dominant.

why do you hate foxtails ?

spindly, junky ta trim....had some -tails that were dense, but usually too fluffy...just not fit for my grows

 

[SOTF420]

Yeah gotta hate gardens full of these!

Swt Sk has some tails but they are dense usually, pure fruity flowers man!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there was some genetic testing that shed some light on the heritage of the SS clone and one conclusion from that analysis is that SPG is not the mom?

I grew out a few of the ISS. They do foxtail and flower and take a while to finish. They are not low yielders. There are some pictures in my ISS album. There is also a lot of information on this site about the SS clone and ISS if you search.
