Sweet Sweet
A legendary Skunk #1 phenotype renowned for its sweet, candy-like aroma and vigorous growth
Legendary Genetics
Sweet Sweet is a special Skunk #1 phenotype that has earned clone-only status due to its exceptional characteristics. Skunk #1 itself is a foundational cannabis hybrid from the 1970s, created by crossing Afghani indica, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold. This particular phenotype stands out for its pronounced sweetness and balanced effects that lean slightly sativa-dominant.
Aroma & Terpene Profile
The Sweet Sweet strain terpene profile is dominated by a classic, pungent skunk base overlaid with layers of sweet candy and fruit notes. This phenotype is particularly prized for its lack of harsh ammonia-like skunk notes, instead offering a smoother, sweeter interpretation of the Skunk #1 profile.
Smell Description
Breaking apart a properly cured Sweet Sweet bud releases waves of sweet, almost candy-like aroma mixed with the classic roadkill skunk funk. The sweetness is reminiscent of fruit chews, berries, and sugar, while the skunk foundation provides depth and complexity. During flowering, the aroma can fill an entire grow space with its powerful yet pleasant fragrance.
