Keep reading to learn all there is to know about White Skunk, including its origins, genetics, growth traits, and more.

History of the White Skunk Cannabis Strain

White Skunk is an indica-dominant hybrid created by Sensi Seeds. Founded in 1985 by Ben Dronkers (who also founded Amsterdam's Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum), Sensi Seeds is currently the world's largest producer of cannabis seeds, carrying over 500 strains. Dronkers opened the first brick-and-mortar Sensi Seeds shop in 1986, selling seeds, grow equipment, and books about cannabis cultivation and culture.

Although cannabis coffeeshops already existed in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities since the 1970s, the Dutch weren't particularly fond of cannabis—dry flower, that is. Instead, they preferred to smoke imported hash. However, by growing his own cannabis in greenhouses, Dronkers helped to slowly introduce weed-loving Hollanders to cannabis in its most natural form. Moreover, Dronkers helped to preserve cannabis genetics as well as create a wide variety of new hybrids.

Genetic Lineage of White Skunk

White Skunk is a 65% indica-dominant Skunk variety. While its exact lineage and origins aren't known (a common thread among old-school strains), the original Skunk strain is believed to be the work of Sam the Skunkman, a US breeder who, according to folklore, created the strain from a mix of Colombian Gold, Acapulco Gold, and Afghani landrace strains. Rumor has it that Sam brought his famous Skunk to Amsterdam in 1983, from where it spread across the world thanks to its distinct aroma and effects.

White Skunk by Sensi Seeds is said to descend from traditional Skunk lines, preserving the sour, funky aroma that this family of strains is known for, as well as its robust growth traits.

The strain is known to stretch considerably in bloom but is generally easy to grow. It produces long, dense flowers that can easily reach the size of a soda can.
