Skunk

A subjective flavor descriptor used in reader reports. Its presence is not a measured frequency or a predicted outcome.

Read it in context

A measured compound profile belongs to a tested sample. Associations, aroma descriptors and traditional labels do not establish clinical effects.

UK Cheese

UK Cheese is described by Leafly as a Skunk 1 phenotype associated with the Exodus collective. This page identifies that selection separately from the broader Cheese entry, whose source discusses later family contributions. Shared Cheese names should not erase differences between a clone and later seed lines.

Skunk Haze

Skunk Haze is associated with Mr. Nice Seeds in Leafly's account and combines Skunk and Haze heritage. The source uses the broad Skunk name, so this page does not automatically narrow it to a particular numbered line. The CBD alias is not itself a chemical measurement.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel, also called Sour D, is a catalog name associated with fuel-like aroma descriptions. Leafly currently labels the entry hybrid and reports Chemdawg and Super Skunk as parents. Its listed reader tags include diesel, chemical and skunk; these describe impressions rather than measured ingredients. The same source also uses sativa language in its review summary, so category wording should be read cautiously rather than used to settle ancestry or predict an individual's response.

AK-47

AK-47 is described by Leafly as a hybrid with Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghan ancestry. That four-region summary does not specify the order of crosses or an immediate parent pair. Serious Seeds' own history connects AK-47 with Simon's work before the company's founding in 1995. This adds a breeder account to the catalog context without certifying every later AK-47-labelled sample. Skunk, tobacco and earth remain reported flavor descriptors rather than evidence of pedigree.

Super Skunk

Super Skunk is reported as a cross between Skunk #1 and Afghani. Those links connect it to two widely referenced families; the skunk and earthy flavor tags below describe reader observations rather than laboratory measurements.

Skunk 1

Skunk #1 is associated with Sacred Seed Co. and selection work involving Afghani, Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold. Its family record represents that multi-generation background rather than a simple two-parent cross.

Super Silver Haze

Super Silver Haze is attributed to Green House Seeds and a background involving Skunk, Northern Lights and Haze. The source supplies those ancestry names but does not establish the exact sequence of crosses.

Shiva Skunk

Shiva Skunk connects two established breeding names: Skunk 1 and Northern Lights #5. Leafly attributes the cross to Sensi Seeds. Adding this profile makes those reported family connections readable alongside descendants already in the library, including the history associated with Jack Herer.

Cheese

Cheese has roots in a British Skunk 1 selection. Leafly also describes later Afghani contributions, so these links represent family history rather than one universal cross.
