Skunk Kush Feminized
As suggested by its name, Sensi’s latest feminised Skunk hybrid mixes the pure Afghani genes of Hindu Kush with the explosive vigour and unstoppable performance of Skunk #1. Less well known is that there are several generations of cross-breeding in the history of the original Skunk Kush that add a distinctly different character and flavour to both the regular strain and the new all-female version. Feminised Skunk Kush has the thick stems and dark, leathery foliage of her Afghanica parent and displays Skunk’s vigour and size, typically gaining 150% or more of her vegetated height in flowering, occasionally more. Bud formation is the particular winner in this pungent, hashy melting pot of cannabis cultivars. Thick Afghani-Skunk nuggets are normal when growing the all-female version of Skunk Kush, and our favourite phenotypes have an incredible, towering flower structure composed of grape-like bunches of buds. The swollen calyxes make for solid, semi-open buds with good weight and a large surface area for resin glands to develop. Some trichomes develop heads so bulbous that observant growers can actually watch them swell and change colour from day to day as harvest approaches. When grown in their natural shape, or with lower branches removed, the central bud of Skunk Kush will take up half the main stem on most plants, and up to 75% on the more open, Sativa-leaning females. Across the strain, musky Skunk and dark, resinous Afghani aromas are complemented by a sharp citrus zest. The star phenotypes take the fruity tang to sensational heights with lusciously sharp lemon and menthol flavours that linger on the palate and open up the airways. A booming body-stone is the most powerful effect felt from the Afghani-influenced females, while the Skunk-Sativa throwbacks add a sizzling sideways counterpunch. A dreamy, giggly, red-eyed high can always be expected from feminised Skunk Kush!

SENSI SEEDS PIONEERED THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY TO BECOME THE WORLD’S LARGEST SEED BANK PIONEERS OF THE CANNABIS SEED INDUSTRY
Sensi Seeds pioneered the cannabis seed industry in 1985. Today, the company is the world’s largest cannabis seedbank with over 500 varieties. These genetics and the brand name have become true classics in the cannabis community. The Dutch government chose Sensi Seeds genetics to develop the medicinal cannabis supplied by pharmacies.
Sensi Seeds aims for the normalization of cannabis use and recognition of the plant’s therapeutic and industrial benefits. This led the company to open the world’s first cannabis museum in 1985. The Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum is now present in both Amsterdam and Barcelona and has welcomed over two million visitors.
Together with the museum, Sensi Seeds regularly hosts the Cannabis Culture Awards. This award celebrates those who have taken a stand for the acceptance of cannabis. Winners include Sir Richard Branson, and former Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dries van Agt.
Sensi Seeds opened its sister-company, HempFlax in 1993. The company developed new processing methods and purpose-built equipment for hemp cultivation. These innovations have since become the industry standard. They are now used by leading agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers, including John Deere.
HempFlax products are widely used in the textile, food, construction and body-care industries. The automotive industry has also adopted hemp, including brands like BMW, Mercedes and Bentley. Hemp is making a successful come-back and HempFlax is leading the way.
The world’s attitude towards cannabis is changing. Countries are now legalising cannabis for medicinal and recreational use. The possibilities for industrial, nutritional and pharmaceutical applications of hemp continue to surprise us. Sensi Seeds will play its part and remain at the forefront of these developments.
Sensi seeds strives for the acceptance of cannabis worldwide and believes that responsible consumption of cannabis can enrich one’s life.
With more than 30 years’ worth of experience in the field of cannabis, Sensi Seeds is fully aware of the crucial role that cannabis can play for humankind. The company is pleased to see the current increase in attention and recognition for the plant worldwide, not only as a medicine but also as a raw material.
Sensi Seeds is committed to preserving the genetic diversity and accessibility of the cannabis plant for future generations, and disseminating information and knowledge about the beneficial effects the plant can have when used appropriately.
While Hindu Skunk has many names (like Skunk Kush and Hindu Kush Skunk), it’s not hard to figure out where this strain comes from. The cross of Hindu Kush x Skunk #1, according to Bonza Seeds, results in a skunky smell, spicy taste, and as much as 22% THC.
Bonza says Hindu Skunk is 70% indica and produces a relaxed, uplifting feeling that eventually drifts toward drowsiness.
