So how harmless is Skunk?
September 18th, 2009 | 
Author: With this post we want to clarify some of the misconceptions that a lot of people seem to have on skunk.
Firstly, let us point out that is nothing more then a name for (mostly indica) potent weed. It is NOT some genetically engineered super dangerous new type of weed. (special announcement for the media; did you guys notice the word NOT? )
For your information, the Dutch ska band “” made an album called skunk back in 1981! So the term has been around for a while. However, even if it was a new kind of weed.. Will this new super potent weed be somehow more dangerous than the weed smoked 20 years ago? So what if weed is more potent? This only means that you have to smoke less of it.. Isn’t that supposed to be a good thing? And what about hash? Shouldn’t this be even more dangerous? Even in the seventies people smoked hash which is a lot more potent than any skunk you can buy nowadays.
The third argument that the anti-legalization lobby likes to use is that skunk/cannabis use somehow causes schizophrenia? Let’s pretend for a moment that this is proven to be true ( ) isn’t that all the more reason to have a legal and regulated market for it? What is the worst that can happen? In the Netherlands adults are allowed to buy small amounts of weed and this has worked just fine for the last 20-odd years.
Just to compare the two systems.. 9.7 percent of youngsters (15-24) use cannabis at least once a month in the Netherlands, compared to 15.8 percent in the UK. ( )

Tatanka
The Legend of Tatanka the White Buffalo
Two young Lakota Sioux went out to hunt. Along the way, the two men met a beautiful young woman dressed in white who floated as she walked. This holy woman brought a wrapped bundle to the people, giving a Canupa Sacred Pipe and teaching them how to use it to pray. With this holy pipe, you will walk like a living prayer, she said. The holy woman told the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe about the value of the buffalo, the women and the children. You are from Mother Earth, she told the women, What you are doing is as great as the warriors do. Before she left, she told the people she would return. As she walked away, she rolled over four times, turning into a white female buffalo calf. It is said after that day the Lakota honored their pipe and buffalo were plentiful. Many believe that the buffalo calf, symbolizes the coming together of humanity into a oneness of heart, mind, and spirit.
Tatanka our favourite when smokin a pipe or bong.

Sensi Star
First prizewinner in the Highlife Cup 1999 (Bio Indoors) and first prizewinner in the Hightimes Cannabis Cup 1999! She produces powerful, compact buds, crowned with legendary amounts of resin. The dense, strong and characteristic aroma speaks for itself. She is one of the world’s finest cannabis strains, and has successfully become the new standard in growing.
Genetics: One of the strongest Indicas that you will ever encounter
Flowering time: 55 – 60 days
Yield per m2 (indoors): 350 – 400 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): 300 – 400 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Early October (at 50? North latitude)
Growing tips: Sensi Star doesn’t like high levels of nutrients.
Shark Shock
This is definitely the most successful breed of the late 90’s (since its inauguration by Shantibaba as Great White Shark).It has equally famous genetic heritage and has been awarded a multitude of cannabis cups under the names of the Peacemaker and the Great White Shark. It’s parents are well known as White Widow (a Brazilian sativa combined with a south Indian hybrid) and Skunk#1. It is a pleasure to watch this plant grow into a densely compacted white skunk with extreme aromas and equally pleasurable to use. Strictly tested, but only on humans. We never use our products on animals.Indoors, expect a 50-56 day flowering cycle and a yield of between 500-600 grams per square meter. Outdoors in the northern hemisphere, harvest in September to early October; and in the southern hemisphere, March to early April.
Silver Pearl
Flowering: 45-50 days
Height: 100-125cm
Yield: Up to 100 gr.
Finishing Date In Greenhouse: Mid-October
Yield In Greenhouse: Up to 500 gr.
*Winner Indica/Sativa Hybrid at the Cannabis Cup 2001.
Excellent indoor and greenhouse results. Plants exhibit the frosted, resinous characteristics of the Northern Lights #5®, the sweetness and calyx-to-leaf ratio of Early Pearl® and Skunk®. One of Sensi Seeds’ favourites and the winner of the mixed Indica/Sativa category at the Cannabis Cup.
Sweet Purple
A very strong, rather tall plant with hues of purple and pink, that tastes like strawberries. She grows well indoors, and is also perfectly adapted to colder regions such as Holland for outdoor growing. Her early flowering means you can harvest fat colas before the “bad” weather starts.
Genetics: She is selected from Purple plants, crossed with an early, large yielding Dutch variety and then, to sweeten her, crossed with a high quality plant with huge amounts of resin.
Flowering time: 56 – 60 days
Yield per m2 (indoors): 350 – 400 grams
Yield per plant (outdoors): up to 500 grams
Harvest time (outdoors): Late September, early October (at 50? North latitude)
Growing tips: When grown indoors, induce flowering early, after 1 week to 10 days vegetative state.
SHIVA SHANTI
At the start of the Nineties, two large collections of breeding plants merged and the Seed Bank became the Sensi Seed Bank – one of the most important cannabis gene-banks in existence. To celebrate, Sensi Seeds released several new strains designed to be accessible to every weed-lover – easy to grow, very affordable and always expressing Sensi’s high standards of quality and potency.
Shiva Shanti was the first of these special ganja strains – a beautiful plant named after the equally beautiful twin daughters of Ben Dronkers. This hybrid is bred from an old-school Afghani known as Garlic Bud, whose classic qualities have been reinforced by crossing with another ‘heritage’ Kush variety; she receives a further boost to her vigour and power through a recessive Skunk influence.
Shiva Shanti covers all the bases; she’s large, vibrant and uniform, producing little odour when blooming. As a strain, she’s very dependable in flowering and matures quickly, producing a heavy yield of long, solid, spear-shaped buds. Shiva Shanti inherits the power and characteristic aroma of her famous parent – the sharp, acidic tang of raw garlic, now coexisting with a rich, honeyed scent from the Skunk ancestor. Shiva Shanti’s effect is deep, stress-free and a fine enhancer of physical sensations.
SUPER SKUNK
Taking the Skunk family back to its Afghani roots, Super Skunk adds flavour, weight and potency to the always-reliable Skunk #1. Despite being released three years after Shiva Skunk, Super Skunk qualifies as the first serious project to breed a next-level cannabis hybrid from the groundbreaking SK#1. Experimental Afghan-Skunk hybrids are featured in the very first Seed Bank catalogues and the breeding project aimed at finding the perfect Afghani genotype to match Skunk #1 goes back further still.
Throughout the Super Skunk project, Sensi breeders aimed to create a strain whose commercial potential, potency and hybrid vigour had never been seen before. Over the years, a large number of Afghani cultivars were crossed with both males and females of the true-breeding Skunk #1. Many wonderful plants were produced, though never with exactly the blend of qualities sought by the project. The achievements in cannabis hybridisation made in the late Eighties meant that the standards for professional ganja were steadily moving upwards which, naturally, raised the bar for what was expected from the Super Skunk program.
It was the expansion of the Sensi Seed Bank gene library at the end of that decade – in particular, the range of fresh Afghanica cultivars which became available to Sensi breeders – that made the current version of our Skunk-Afghani hybrid possible. In 1990, Super Skunk in its final form was released to great acclaim, picking up the mostly-Indica Cannabis Cup straight away.
Super Skunk’s performance remains unchanged to this day, always living up to her super vigorous, super potent and super fragrant reputation. With just a little encouragement, females build colossal, crystalline colas indoors or in the greenhouse. Super Skunk bears the rare distinction of being one of the only cannabis strains that may require more experience to smoke than she does to grow!
