Skunk seeds [ Skunkseeds.org.uk ]

Seedsman has just introduced a new range of feminized skunk seeds.

Seedsman works purely with professional Cannabis Seeds breeders, who have been instrumental in developing Genetics and supplying cannabis seeds for the majority of worldwide Cannabis Seed Banks. These cannabis seeds strains have derived from a priceless heritage of 10,000 years of selection and tradition, combined with modern Western breeding techniques.

Seeds available in the range include:

• Feminized White Widow seeds (Pictured right)
• Feminized Velvet Bud seeds
• Feminized Original Skunk #1 seeds

There are also several other feminized strains in the range, all available on the Skunk.co.uk website.

Skunk.co.uk has just added some new skunk seed strains to its catalogue at www.skunk.co.uk. These are Afropips seeds and the World of Seeds feminized range.

Afropips contains some very interesting strains such as the Malawi Mini strain. The shorter statured compact version of the first grade Malawi Gold that has been developed for height restricted indoor cultivation. It will also perform well outdoors in the Southern Hemisphere.

Afropips is a superior collection of genetics for the cannabis connoisseur. Their excellent range consists of African heritage landrace cannabis strains from legendary growing regions & top growers. It includes intriguing new f1 cultivars created by combining the finest African sativas with international fast flowering favorites & Cannabis Cup Winners. These strains show superb hybrid vigour, as one would expect from their high quality parentage. Afropips was started in the year 2000 to satisfy the palette & medical requirements of the Afroman, their breeder. All seeds are professionally selected; pressure tested, packaged and sealed. Each crush proof pack contains 10 seeds. Afropips seeds are produced entirely organically and only the plumpest & ripest seeds from the most recent harvests are used.

You’ve probably heard all about the new strain of Cannabis - Lowryder. Well, you won’t be disappointed. Lowryder is a new strain of Cannabis that is ideal for stealth Cannabis growing.

Aptly named for its low profile (both literally and figuratively), Lowryder Cannabis seeds were developed for their extreme rapid growth (life cycle is 8 weeks from seed to bud), uniquely short height, and amazing versatility.

Lowryder Cannabis is stable and reliable in its properties, a product of nine generations of selective breeding, and is non-deviant and hermaphrodite-free. Lowryder claims direct descendance from superior William’s Wonder and Northern Lights no.2 indica, as well as a more exotic, virtually unknown short variety believed to be descended from “Mexican Ruderalis,” an experimental cross created over 25 years ago.

Passing directly from the seedling to the flowering stage, Lowryder does away with the vegetative growth stage altogether, in a process called autoflowering. In other words, when planted, it sprouts, grows a couple sets of leaves, then immediately and automatically begins flowering (males at about day 17, females at day 20). As a result, it is the quickest, most compact, and most discrete plant available.

Having no vegetative stage, Lowryder Cannabis can’t be cloned or regenerated, for all intents and purposes. Replanting seeds is a must. But then, this plant’s unique advantages do away with any reason for cloning in the first place. It is an ideal parent strain, producing some offspring with its unique autoflowering traits.

To complement its unique characteristics, Lowryder’s final appearance, taste, and high, have nothing to envy of the finer weed varieties, an excellent strain with high potency and good resin production.

Recently the Joint Doctor also brought out Lowryder 2 - and in the near future Lowryder Feminized seeds will also be released. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we get hold of some!

So, you’ve come across our blog because you’re thinking of getting started with growing your own Cannabis. Firstly, we suggest you find a friendly online forum that you can use throughout your grow should you run into problems. We have posted several grow diaries to the Skunk UK forums, and the regulars and moderators there have always been happy to help us with friendly advice.

Before beginning, please make sure that you check your local laws to make sure it is legal to grow cannabis where you live. In the UK it is legal to buy Cannabis seeds but illegal to germinate them without a license from the secretary of state.

For the first time this strain provided growers with the good taste and high of a sativa coupled with the quick heavy flowering of an indica. Having been successfully stabilized, Skunk No. 1 has been widely used as a breeding parent for most of today’s leading “skunk” and many other strains. It is very easy to grow and has always been seen as a standard against which others can be measured.

It produces dense buds varying in colour from light green to golden with a very high yield. It is easy to manicure due to its high bud-to-leaf ratio. It has a sweet smell and taste with a cerebral high.

Is it AK47? Blueberry? Skunk Haze?

Home grown ‘organic’ skunk, which is grown in soil, was by far the strongest containing 13.4 per cent of the active ingredient THC. At this level, the effects of THC would be felt after just a couple of puffs on a spliff.

Skunk normally carries between 7 and 15 per cent THC; samples with levels of THC over 20 per cent are very rare. The strongest sample found in the UK had 29.9 per cent. Campbell says that this, at double the potency of normal skunk, is an exceptionally high level of THC and anyone who smoked it would be incapacitated.

One cannabis user told The Observer that smoking strong skunk can leave them ‘very high, unable to move, in hysterics and sometimes seeing things’.

The sample that I was told was ‘just skunk’ came in next at 9.9 per cent with white widow, which the dealer had assured me was so strong that I would be coming back for more, coming in a disappointing third.

The strongest type of Skunk ever tested in the UK - that came in at 29.9% THC was actually thought to be Cheese seeds. Cheese is a unique strain, until now, available as clone form only. Like many cannabis strains the history and origins of Cheese are somewhat confused and distorted.

Cheese originated in 1988-89 as one unique female phenotype out of packet of Sensi Seeds Skunk No. 1 grown somewhere in the Chiltern Hills. This one plant produced impressively large buds and had a very distinctive cheesy odour. It was quickly cloned and named Cheese.

There are many online shops selling skunk seeds on the internet. Over the last few years we have kept a careful eye on the prices at which some of the most popular shops sell skunk seeds for.

There are many different names for Cannabis the plant name cannabis is from Greek κάνναβις (kánnabis), via Latin cannabis, originally a Scythian or Thracian word, also loaned into Persian as kanab. English hemp (Old English hænep) may be an early loan (predating Grimm’s Law) from the same source. Marijuana is an Americanism probably coming from the personal name María Juana (”Mary Jane”), or in Spanish ”Marihuana”.

Roget’s Thesaurus gives the following Synonyms: “Acapulco gold*, bhang*, cannabis, Columbian*, doobie*, dope*, ganja*, hash, hashish, hemp, herb*, Jamaican*, joint, loco weed*, maryjane*, Maui wowie*, Mexican*, Panama red*, reefer, roach, sinsemilla, tea*, weed*”

An Ashford man who found skunk seeds and decided to plant them has been put on a probation bond having pleaded guilty to possessing drugs and cultivating cannabis plants.

Niall O’Neill (34) of 6 Meadow View, Ashford, was charged with possession of drugs and cultivating cannabis and opium poppy plants at Flat 1, 34 Main Street, Rathdrum, on October 4 last year. He was also charged with theft from Centra in Rathdrum on July 5 this year.

Garda Richie Galvin told Rathdrum District Court that during a search of the flat the defendant was living in at the time he found a cannabis plant growing in a pot in the window.

On being questioned, O’Neill informed the Garda that it was a smoking plant’. He said he had found the seeds in some hash leaves and put them in a pot and watered them and they sprouted.

It was not a very successful enterprise. The plant did not look very healthy,’ Garda Galvin told the judge adding that the defendant was on a methadone programme.

Garda Conroy told the court that in July he got a call to Centra in Rathdrum where the management were holding O’Neill for stealing a can of Red Bull and a packet of apple turnovers.

Defence solicitor, David Tarrant, explained that his client was homeless at the time but he had since gone to live with his father. He took the good from the shop because he had no money and the plant was really a hobby he said.

Judge Donnchadh O Buachalla placed O’Neill on a probation bond for one year in the sum of €300.
