Skunk Strains

What are Skunk Strains?

Skunk is a Sativa-Indica hybrid that dominates both kinds in popular strains. This cannabis strain initially appeared on the market in the 1970s and has since spawned a slew of different strains that most cannabis enthusiasts are familiar with.

Skunk cannabis seeds are well-known for their highly skunky aroma and balanced hybrid effects. Users describe intense euphoria paired with profound relaxation, making it simpler to unwind and enjoy the day. 

It’s tough, with robust stems and hefty branches. The Indica-dominant characteristics keep it small, making it ideal for indoor gardening, yet the high-yielding female plants also thrive outdoors.

Skunk Strains Properties

Skunk strains are known for their skunky smell and earthy aromas, but they can be combined with other scents to create a more well-rounded experience.

Skunk Strains Effects, Taste & Smell

This cannabis plant has been described as smelling like deep woodland mushrooms or robust and pungent cheese. One similarity is the aroma of white cheddar popcorn. As nasty as this sounds, it’s also surprisingly delightful.

Despite its “cheesy” aroma, this potent strain has a distinct combination of sour and savory fragrances.

Its thick, dense buds deliver mental and physical effects to those who consume it. Skunk marijuana strains are potent Indica strains that are quite soothing and may even put you to sleep.

Skunk Genetics

A group of farmers and breeders in California created this renowned strain in the early 1970s.

Skunk cannabis is a hybrid weed composed of two Sativa landraces, Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold, and an Afghani Indica purebred. The hybrid nature allowed them to find the best traits from each popular strain and combine them to create a genuinely amazing marijuana variety: good yields, early flowering, good branching, dense and resinous blooms with few leaves, and a strong aroma.

Reasons to Grow Skunk Strain Seeds

All levels of growers can successfully grow weed from the Skunk strain. They are simple to harvest, hardy, tenacious, and tolerant of novice growers’ mistakes.

They are also a sight to behold in their own right. They are tall, brilliant, and bushy, and they bear a big cola in the middle of the plant and a profusion of darker green leaves. Crystalline trichomes will cover the surface of the plant entirely as it matures.

How to Grow Skunk Cannabis Seeds Indoor and Outdoor?

Super Skunk seeds may be grown inside or outdoors. Those who plant outside will need optimal conditions to ensure a good yield. This variety does well in warm, sunny settings typical of the Mediterranean. It is recommended that harvesting take place during September and October for the greatest possible outcomes.

Germinating Skunk Seeds

Germination begins by soaking your marijuana seeds in water and then placing them in small pots with soil. Once they start to sprout past the top of the soil, they will need light to continue to grow. 

To stop the soil from drying, spray the seeds with water twice daily to keep them moist but not flooded. Once roots have sprouted, the plant is ready to be moved outdoors or into a larger pot.

Optimal Growing Conditions

The original Skunk seeds were explicitly developed for indoor growing environments. They thrive best in environments that can be managed and maintained, which is why grow rooms typically offer the greatest results.

Light

Even though CFL and LED lights are the industry standard for indoor growing, the heat produced by these lights must be considered. Depending on the variety of cannabis seeds used, you can light the area between 8 – 12 hours a day.

Air

Skunk cannabis seeds prefer a light breeze of air, but don’t put your fan too close, or you risk weed burn on the leaves.

Water & Nutrients

Ensure you water when the top of the soil becomes dry. Use soil with nitrates and other nutrients to keep it healthy.

Temperature & Humidity

Maintain a temperature range of 70–80 degrees Fahrenheit with a relative humidity of 40–50 percent.

Harvesting Skunk

If you did not choose feminized seeds, you would have to check for male plants and remove them as they will not flower. Typically, you would double the number of seeds you planted to be able to remove the males and keep only the feminized seeds.

In September, the crops are covered in buds, and by the middle of October, they have reached full maturity. Once the mature plants have reached their flowering period, you can begin to harvest the buds.

Flowering can take anywhere from seven to eight weeks and calls for an abundance of phosphate and potassium in addition to a carbon filter. The amount of 14–19 ounces of dried flower may be harvested from every square meter.
