Skunk is one of the most well-known cannabis classics in the world and its superb basic genetics are often used in other types of cannabis. It’s well known for its incredibly sweet flavour and big buds that deliver a great harvest.
This exceptional classic is a mix of 35% Sativa and 65% Indica. The Skunk originates from Sativa dominant Colombian, Mexican and Afghan parents. Skunk is getting more and more popular and is always being improved. Skunk is also very suitable for medicinal purposes.
Skunk can be grown outdoors and indoors. It’s a strong and sturdy plant that isn’t easily affected by moulds and diseases. That makes Skunk suitable for first time growers as well. It can be grown in both cold and warm climates, because it isn’t sensitive to cold or rain. The plant stays fairly small (with indoor growing one and a half meters at most), but because of the giant buds the yield is still high. The plant has a short blooming period of about 8 weeks. During the blooming period the Skunk plant quickly produces robust stems and branches, fan-shaped leaves and enormous buds. For the best taste-experience we advise you to harvest the Skunk after about 7 or 8 weeks of blooming, but if you’d like to go for a more intense effect, you can leave it to bloom for another week.
The smoking of Skunk is also lovely and heavy. The flavour is unique and easy to recognize; deep, sweet and fruity. You’ll experience a clear high immediately after smoking it, the heavy physical stone is usually experienced a bit later. The Skunk is perfectly balanced. It really is one of those kinds of cannabis that you should definitely try at least once in your life, even though it probably isn’t going to be a one-time only. Medically Skunk is used to reduce stress and fears.
