Historical sample observations
A historical UK review sample provides the following sample-specific context. This week the archive're looking at Early Skunk in the archive's cannabis strain information feature. \nEarly Skunk is a cross of Early Pearl X Skunk No.1 - two seed companies currently sell the strain - Sensi Seeds and Seedsman, which was designed to be easy-to-grow and suitable for outdoor growing. \n \nThis sample, grown by an unnamed Hampshire Cannabis Collective was grown organically but indoors. \n \nEarly Skunk delivers a hybrid high - around 65% Indica, 35% Sativa. \n \n \n Appearance \nThe Early Skunk is well-presented, despite small buds. They've been given a good trim, and due to the extended curing period the sample is bone dry and is also reasonably dense when squeezed. \n \nThe pistils are really vibrant orange, and the reviewer can visibly see the trichomes covering the bud \n \n \n Smell \nThis sample of Early Skunk gives off sweet notes - earthy, and a bit floral. \n \nSurprisingly, this strain isn't as pungent as the reviewer would have expected with the Skunk No.1 heritage, but when the reviewer break it open the reviewer do get pungent notes along with the earthy, old-school flavour. \n \n \n Taste \nI consumed this strain through the reviewer's bong and the reviewer's Incredibowl, and both delivered a good flavour profile during both the inhale and the exhale. \n \nI got the sweet notes along with the pungency and a lovely flavour profile that was helped by the extended cure. \n Effects \nThe Early Skunk isn't a particularly overpowering strain, making it good for daytime consumption and the reviewer enjoyed consuming a few hits of this during the review. \n \nI got a nice uplift from the cerebral side, as well as the familiar and enjoyable relaxation that hybrid and indica strains tend to deliver. \n \n \n Conclusion \nWhile Early Skunk isn't one to shout from the mountains about, it is an enjoyable flavour and smoke - one that the reviewer could certainly enjoy throughout the day. \n \nI wouldn't put this in the reviewer's favourite strains; the reviewer don't tend to favour floral scents, but the reviewer enjoyed the review and would smoke this again.
