Sour Skunk: A Shoreline Genetics Strain
A pungent skunky cross with sour citrus undertones, Sour Skunk is an old school unique cross between Skunk #1 and Sour D. To further understand this genetic, let's dive in each of its parents!

Skunk #1: Parent of Sour Skunk Strain​

Skunk #1 is one of the most iconic and influential cannabis strains in the history of cultivation. It was developed in the late 1970s by a group of breeders known as the Sacred Seed Co., led by Sam the Skunkman, also known as David Watson, in California. The strain is a hybrid, created by crossbreeding Afghani (indica), Acapulco Gold (sativa), and Colombian Gold (sativa). This genetic mix resulted in a balanced hybrid known for its stability, consistent yields, and potent effects.
Key traits of Skunk #1 include:

1. Aroma: A signature strong, pungent skunky smell with hints of earthiness and sweetness.
2. Effects: Known for its uplifting cerebral high combined with a relaxing body effect. It's often used to treat stress, depression, and pain due to its balanced psychoactive properties.
3. Growth: It has become a staple for breeders and growers due to its resilience, uniformity, and relatively short flowering time (typically around 45-50 days). It thrives both indoors and outdoors.

Skunk #1 has been the foundation for many other famous strains like Super Skunk, Cheese, and Sour Diesel, influencing cannabis breeding globally.

Sour D: Parent of Sour Skunk Strain​

Sour D, Sour Diesel, Diesel, ECSD, East Coast Sour Diesel, NYC Diesel, AJ's Sour Diesel - the Diesel name has permeated across cannabis culture for seemingly ages. The funk gets faked time and time again, with origin stories getting muddled overtime. While this article does a great job breaking down the lineages, in regards to the Sour Skunk strain from Shoreline Genetics, its parent is specifically Sour D.
Sour D is an East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD) BX2.
East Coast Sour Diesel BX is ECSD x (ECSD x Shoreline BX).
ECSD was created on accident when an entire crop of '91 Chemdawg (Diesel aka NYC Diesel) was pollinated by either a DNL (Northern Lights x RFK Skunk/Hawaiian) or by Massachusetts Super Skunk (JJ-NYC).
Shoreline BX is a backcross between Shoreline and Shoreline OG. Click here to learn more about the Legacy of Texas Cannabis - Texas Shoreline.
