Skunk 47 by Advanced Seeds
Indica × Skunk
Skunk 47 is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Advanced Seeds, known for its potent effects and complex sensory profile. This strain combines classic skunk genetics with robust indica foundations, resulting in dense buds and a deeply relaxing experience.
Appearance
Skunk 47 presents dense, resin-coated buds characteristic of its indica heritage. These buds are typically vibrant green, often featuring deep purple hues and bright orange pistils. They are compact and heavy, covered in a thick layer of trichomes, and are supported by broad leaves that may display a slightly mottled appearance.
The plant structure is robust and bushy, typically reaching heights of 75-100 cm indoors, making it suitable for space-optimized growing techniques like Sea of Green (SOG). Consistent morphology across grows is a noted characteristic.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Skunk 47 is dominated by strong, pungent skunk notes, layered with subtle hints of pine and herbaceous undertones. A musky, earthy background complements the initial bold scent, which is known for its persistence and intensity.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, beginning with a distinct skunky taste that is both sweet and slightly peppery. This is followed by earthy and herbal notes, often rounded out with a surprising hint of citrus zest. The complex taste is considered a signature characteristic of the strain.
Effects
Skunk 47 delivers a potent experience, typically beginning with a burst of euphoria that gradually transitions into a deeply sedative physical relaxation. Its heavy indica properties are prominent, offering a reliable and powerful body-focused effect.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles are not detailed, common notes suggest the presence of Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Pinene. These contribute to the strain's characteristic aroma and flavor. Cannabinoid analysis indicates THC levels generally ranging from 18% to 22%, with some phenotypes potentially reaching higher percentages. CBD content is typically less than 1%, around 0.5% to 1%.
Growing
Skunk 47 is noted for its resilient growth pattern and stabilized genetics, with over 72% of test grows showing uniform appearance. Its predominantly indica lineage contributes to dense buds and a compact, bushy structure ideal for indoor cultivation, particularly in SOG setups. The strain is considered to have a high success rate in achieving desired characteristics.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Advanced Seeds, Skunk 47 emerged from early experiments aimed at blending classic skunk phenotypes with robust indica genetics. The strain's lineage is approximately 80% indica, combined with traditional skunk elements, designed to enhance both aroma and potency while ensuring stability and yield.
