Skunk XL Cannabis Seeds from Royal Queen Seeds

An absolute classic strain which laid the genetics for the majority of marijuana seeds around today. Originally, a mix of Colombian, Mexican and Afghan land races creating the 75% Sativa 25% Indica genetic that led to a new generation of cannabis. Over the years this strain has been worked on to improve that sweet taste and big buds most commonly associated with Skunk #1. Today, Royal Queen Seeds brings this classic variety into the modern era with a feminised seed.

An absolute classic strain which laid the genetics for the majority of marijuana seeds around today. Originally, a mix of Colombian, Mexican and Afghan land races creating the 50% Sativa 50% Indica genetic that led to a new generation of cannabis. Over the years this strain has been worked on to improve that sweet taste and big buds most commonly associated with Skunk #1. Today, Royal Queen Seeds brings this classic variety into the modern era with a feminised seed.

Our Skunk XL feminised will grow over 1 metre tall, up to 1.5m, yielding a giant main cola. Over all she is quite an easy plant to maintain, with little stretching during flower for a Sativa, combined with her big bud structure altogether making her a pleasant plant to grow. This relatively easy maintenance makes her suitable for both soil and hydro set ups, especially for Sea/Screen of Green operations.

Grown indoors on average you get a yield of 65-75 g per plant or between 600-650 g per metre squared, under a 600w light. Grown outdoors, she prefers a warmer climate such as in Spain, Italy or California and given the right conditions will produce over 600g per plant. Due to her relatively short flower time she can be grown in more northern latitudes (UK, Netherlands), however, will not reach her full potential as she would indoors.

Flowering will be finished after 8-9 weeks to maximise flavour, but she can go a week longer to give an extra kick to the smoke. Overall her short flower time, easy grow and big yield makes her a contender for the selection of those commercial ‘cash-crops’.

As for smoke, our Skunk XL Feminised brings a great mix of instant head high while a subtle body stone creeps up on you after time. Smokers always enjoy her sweet, fruit like, taste that makes every hit of the joint or bong a genuine pleasure to be desired after.

Try for yourself and you will not be disappointed.

Strain FAQ

Why do some high-yielding strains have long vegetative stages?

A longer vegetative growth period is said to be what helps these plants build a solid structure. This sturdy base is necessary in order to support the weight of their many buds during flowering.

How has the Skunk strain's notoriety affected it?

Skunk strains were regularly discussed in media headlines about cannabis potency and public health in the late 20th century. Skunk strains have become legendary in cannabis culture due to this attention, whether positive or not.

How do short-flowering strains handle temperature changes?

Some short-flowering cultivars may withstand unexpected temperature changes, making them reportedly excellent for outdoor legal gardening. This resilience enables consistent growth and decreases environmental stress-related crop failure.

What makes people say that indoor Sativa cultivation can be difficult?

Due to their height and long flowering time, Sativas are said to be harder to grow indoors. This has led to inventive cultivation and plant training methods to squeeze cannabis skyscrapers into smaller indoor spaces without sacrificing yield.

Can 12/12 photoperiod hybrids flower faster?

Breeders have been working cross-breeding hybrids to meet the 12/12 light schedule and speed up flowering. These optimised hybrids can finish faster than other varieties without compromising yield or potency.
