Skunk lineage and family tree

Skunk is the foundation family built around Skunk #1. Late-1970s / early-1980s seed-bank history treats that name as a working block more than a dessert brand. Exact early parents are incomplete in public notes. Unknown is allowed.

What the line passed on is recognizable skunk-musk language, fast indoor structure talk, and a stack of later names that still point back at Skunk #1. On this site that includes Super Skunk, Cheese, Critical Mass, and Lemon Skunk.

Read Skunk next to Haze when a page mixes incense with musk, and next to Chem / Diesel when fuel talk takes over. Cookies is a later dessert chapter, not a Skunk synonym.

Aroma words that appear with this family: myrcene, caryophyllene, humulene. Those names are vocabulary, not percentages.

Skunk #1 is the hinge, not every later bag that smells loud. Cheese is a UK-facing chapter of the same teaching line. Super Skunk and Critical Mass are catalog descendants used in seed-bank histories. Lemon Skunk is listed when the essay keeps the Skunk parent story.

If a page only uses skunk as an aroma word, that is terpene talk, not membership in this family. Keep the two vocabularies separate.

Skunk #1 is usually dated to the late 1970s through early 1980s seed-bank era, when growers wanted a reliable indoor block rather than a dessert brand. Public notes mix Afghan, Colombian, and Mexican talk without one settled pedigree, which is why this page leaves early parents Unknown. What traveled forward was a loud musk name, a workable flowering window in catalogs, and a habit of stamping Skunk onto later crosses.

Cheese is the UK-facing chapter most often attached to that block. Super Skunk and Critical Mass show how seed banks kept using the name as a production parent. Lemon Skunk is listed only while its essay keeps a Skunk-side story. If a page uses skunk only as a smell word, that belongs on myrcene talk, not as automatic membership.
