Shit
Skunk 1
Shit is an old-school hybrid cannabis strain with roots tracing back to the late 1990s, developed by Mr. Nice Seedbank. It is recognized for its strong, pungent skunk aroma and reliable performance, making it a notable selection from classic skunk breeding lines.
Appearance
Shit produces dense, rounded flowers with a classic skunk structure, characterized by tightly stacked calyxes and minimal leaf intrusion. Buds typically exhibit olive to forest green coloration, accented by copper or pumpkin-orange pistils. A thick, frosted layer of trichomes covers the buds, contributing to a sticky texture and appealing bag appeal, especially when uniform in size.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Shit is predominantly skunky, often described as musky and ammonia-like, with underlying notes of sweet citrus, earthy wood, and pepper. When cured, the bouquet can evolve to reveal subtle floral accents. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a pungent, skunky taste that can carry hints of chocolate, citrus, coffee, and herbal or peppery undertones.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, hybrid strains like Shit generally offer a balanced experience, potentially combining cerebral invigoration with physical relaxation. Its classic skunk heritage often suggests a potent effect profile that appeals to experienced users.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Shit is noted for its terpene-rich profile, with myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene being identified. The presence of volatile sulfur compounds is key to its signature skunk aroma. THC levels typically range from 15-25%, with CBD content below 1%. High trichome density suggests abundant resin production, potentially yielding over 1.5% total terpenes.
Growing
This hybrid is known for being a strong, high-yielding producer in both indoor and outdoor settings. It features heavy branching and a preference for dense growth, making it suitable for Sea of Green and high-density indoor rooms. Flowering time is relatively short, with some phenotypes finishing in as little as 7 weeks, while others may take 8-9 weeks. Careful humidity management is advised during late bloom to prevent mold due to bud density.
Origins & Lineage
Shit originated from Mr. Nice Seedbank in the late 1990s, a collaboration between breeder Shantibaba and Howard Marks. It is primarily a selection from the Skunk 1 genetic line, which itself is a hybrid of Afghan, Colombian Gold, and Acapulco Gold. Shit carries a balanced hybrid structure with a noticeable Afghan influence, selected for vigor, branching, and its characteristic pungent skunk aroma.
