Skunk Autoflower Cannabis Seeds

The original Skunk #1 is among the most essential cultivars that ever existed. It is most known for its famous dead animal-like scent, but there's more to this bud than its pungent smell. Considered as one of the backbones of cannabis breeding, its genetics is found in about half of the entire cannabis gene pool. It is no accident that the plant was able to produce so many hybrids, though. Quite the contrary, because of its mind-blowing hit and trouble-free grow, it was and still is deemed as ultra breed worthy.

By including a Ruderalis in the genetic mix, the Skunk's autoflowering version was created. It is slightly less potent with a modest THC content of 12% to 15%. Nonetheless, it can still share a mentally uplifting but physically mellowing high.

When it comes to its growth tendencies, the feminized Skunk auto is more beginner-friendly than the original. It produces high-quality recreational and medicinal buds without asking for too much attention. Because of its tiny structure, it also does not require lots of space and can prosper in a small grow box or tent. If Skunk #1 is the preferred cultivar but the time for cultivating is somewhat limited, this is the ideal Skunk variant to grow.

Growing Skunk Autoflowering Seeds

An growing Skunk only stands around 2.9 to 3.9 feet tall at full maturity. Although short, it has 8 to 12 cm-long internodal gap, which allows proper air-flow. Due to such structure, as long as the grow area has appropriate temperature and humidity, it is highly unlikely to attract pathogens.

The autoflowering Skunk goes from seed to harvest in 10 to 11 weeks, and 6 to 8 weeks of those are spent flowering. Typically, it enters the blooming phase less than a month after the seedling first sprouts from the medium. Living up to the high standards set by Skunk #1, the auto's full-grown buds are huge, dense, and shimmering with THC-rich trichomes.

The plant is best grown indoors to prevent any external factors from causing it any harm, allowing it to focus on fruiting instead of tending on injuries. Besides, in a controlled setting, the auto can be given 18 to 24 hours of light to help it produce a whopping 400 to 500 grams of harvest per square meter.

If planning to grow Skunk Automatic outdoors, do so in spring and summer in places below the equator's 45°N, also know as the 45th parallel north. Its germination must be timed appropriately during shorter, cooler summers for it to reach its full potential before the coolness of September sets in. That being the case, the auto's flowering period should sync with the sunniest days of June or July. In an optimal outdoor home, it yields up to 100 grams of fresh buds per plant.
