Auto Skunk #1 was bred from one of the original strains in the Seedsman line-up, Sam the Skunkman's Original Skunk #1, crossed with ruderalis genetics to create an auto-flowering Skunk strain. It grows well in all growing media and environments and will be ready to harvest in 11 weeks following successful germination. It can produce surprisingly good yields for an auto strain with harvests recording between 30 gr and 130 gr per plant, the latter figure being attained in optimum conditions.
Auto Skunk #1 grows nice, dense buds with few larger leaves making it a very easy plant to manicure. It has a typically sweet, skunky perfume and a potent, energetic and somewhat cerebral effect.
Strain FAQ
Why are many Central American and Caribbean strains Sativa-dominant?
Many tropical cannabis cultivars are Sativa. Height, long flowering, and stimulating effects are their hallmarks. Unique geographical features have caused these Sativa strains to evolve different affects and flavours.
How have Skunk strains changed cannabis cultivation?
Skunk strains thrive in many conditions and blossom quickly. Their adaptability and sturdy genetics have made them a favourite among legal producers and affected the development of modern cannabis strains.
Do strains listed as suitable for outdoor growth have resistance to pests and diseases?
Being out in the wild, outdoor cannabis strains face a barrage of environmental stressors, from bugs to fluctuating weather. This tough love from Mother Nature prompts them to ramp up their production of terpenes and cannabinoids, which serve as their shield against these threats. It's a fascinating survival strategy that not only makes the plants hardier but is also said to improve the aroma and flavor of the buds!
Why do some cannabis strains taste sweet?
Sweet cannabis strains are flavoured by terpenes, cannabinoids, and other plant ingredients. The mango-like sweetness, citrusy undertones, and spicy sweetness come from terpenes including myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene.
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
