New England Skunk is a very special variety to us as it represents the current state of the project that got us into selective plant breeding. The original seed parents were a skunk #1 mom from European breeders acquired through the now defunct SeedSwapClub, and a Hawaiian skunk dad from which was raised from seeds I brought from a trip back in 1998. We grew out many plants from that first batch and saw heavy resin producing plants that had a fruity smell and taste that was also very exotic and deep flavored. The plants were bred outdoors for the first 5 years with selection focusing on quick flower time(New England summers don't last long), resistance to mold and resin production. By the F5 generation we had a plant that bred true for these traits while providing a clean, crisp mental effect. We have since introduce more variability by using multiple males for pollination to ensure genetic diversity. This has introduced some interesting variety in colors with purple and magenta being most prevalent. We grow the new generation of the best plants every year for new seed production and to look for more interesting phenos to bring indoors.
