Early Skunk is an indica-dominant marijuana strain which is a cross between Skunk #1 and Early Pearl developed in Holland where it grows well indoors taking around 53 days of flowering, in a green house and even outdoors where it will be ready during September in northern latitudes. It is a very straightforward strain to grow even for beginners who can expect large harvests of floral-tasting buds with a very focused effect and a tendency for appetite stimulation. It is a very stable strain with no risk of male pollination in a room of female plants. Early Skunk even has medicinal properties as it is reputed to be useful in combating depression.
Strain FAQ
What terpenes give cannabis a floral aroma?
Geraniol, found in geraniums, roses, and lemons, gives some strains a floral, fruity scent.
Why are strains which finish by mid-September popular for the outdoors?
The ability to harvest by mid-September is said to benefit legal outdoor growers. Beating the first fall frosts is said to be helpful in avoiding crop loss to cold or mould. This timing is reportedly essential for crop quality and quantity without the risks of later-finishing cultivars.
Do 12/12 photoperiod strains have an edge in terpene profiles?
Sometimes, a little stress goes a long way, especially when it comes to pumping up the terpenes in 12/12 photoperiod strains. The stringent light schedule can stress the plants just enough to kick their flavor and aroma profile up a notch!
When did feminised cannabis seeds first come about?
In the late 20th century, feminised seeds revolutionised cannabis production. This breakthrough allowed producers to focus on bud-producing females without worrying about unproductive male plants eating up space and resources.
Do short-flowering strains save energy?
Absolutely. Since these plants are known to harvest faster, they need less energy for lighting, ventilation, and other equipment. These strains save indoor legal producers a lot of energy, making them more sustainable and affordable.
