Skunk cannabis seeds

What are Skunk cannabis seeds?

Skunk weed seeds are a family of strains noted for their distinctive, penetrating skunk aroma and taste. They are among the most popular cannabis seed selections for both home growers as well as professional growers. They evolved in 1970’s California, the ‘Skunk’ name symbolises the unique aromatic funk produced by the dank buds. Skunk cannabis seeds came to Europe in the 1970’s when Sam The Skunkman (original breeder) landed in Amsterdam airport, allegedly on the run from US authorities. Fortunately, he didn’t leave California empty-handed, plenty of cannabis seeds came with him, the rest is history!

Skunk weed is thought to originate from a cross of two Sativa varieties, Colombian Gold and Acapulco Gold. These were hybridised with an Afghani Indica resulting in the notorious Skunk we are all familiar with today. The quality, resilience and potency of Skunk shows such reliable consistency that Skunk has been used extensively in many subsequent crosses. You will notice the trademark Skunk taste and aroma, but growers can benefit from Skunk cannabis seeds in various forms and types.

What are the different types of Skunk weed seeds?

Perhaps most Skunk aficionados would say they love the full-bodied skunk taste above all other qualities. Skunks are, for many, the undisputed Queens of terpene excess. Inhale and feel the taste-overload coat your palate and throat. But the best Skunk cannabis seeds deliver much more than that.

You can also expect fast potent harvests from autoflower skunk seeds and grow-room versatility from photoperiod feminised Skunk seeds that will happily grow in the SCROG method or SOG method. Skunks are also noted for being among the easiest cannabis seeds to cultivate, often recommended to first time growers as a result.

Whichever Skunk weed seeds which you choose, remember to do your online research carefully. You may find the Dutch Passion blog archive of expert grow tutorials and hundreds of detailed Dutch Passion grow reviews helpful.

Feminised Skunk cannabis seeds

Feminised Skunk seeds are always in high demand. They tick all the important boxes - potent & heavy yielding with great jar-appeal. But the two star-qualities of a good Skunk strain are the trademark stench and the ease-of-growth. Photoperiod feminised Skunk weed seeds grow well in a range of grow conditions and take around 9 weeks in bloom. Good carbon filters are particularly recommended to indoor growers to cover the all-pervading aromas.

Autoflower Skunk cannabis seeds

If you want a fast harvest of 20%+ THC Skunk buds in around 75 days, then a pack of autoflower skunk cannabis seeds is your best choice. They grow well indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. Indoors, 20 hours of daily light from skunk autoflower seed to harvest is recommended. Outdoors, choose a warm & sunny 3-month period. Growers in warm climates may be able to get two, or even three, successive skunk auto harvests each year.

Regular Skunk cannabis seeds

New Skunk hybrids are constantly appearing, and the best of these have been of great benefit to the cannabis community. Old school growers and smaller seed companies often prefer to use regular skunk cannabis seeds. Even though regular seeds account for less than 2% of seed sales, Dutch Passion are happy to continue to offer them as a service to the community.

Best original Skunk cannabis strains

Dutch Passion are proud to offer the following selection of skunk cannabis seeds. These come in a range of formats, including regular seeds, autoflower Skunk seeds and photoperiod feminised Skunk seeds.

Skunk #1

Skunk #1 is only available in regular Skunk cannabis seeds. These offer roughly equal numbers of male and female plants. The females have the classic Skunk blooms and authentic aromas. Potency levels on this fine quality sativa are high and yields are excellent.

Orange Bud

Orange Bud is a cannabis classic from Dutch Passion, a cannabis cup winner with numerous crosses that are available everywhere. The sharp zingy citrus scent has a certain sweetness which contrasts delightfully with the sour Skunky funk. THC levels scream loudly around 20%, enough to satisfy all who challenge her! A must-grow Skunk original, ready to harvest with as little as 7-8 weeks bloom time and founding member of the Orange family of cannabis seeds. Available in feminised seeds and regular seeds (and autoflower seeds as Auto Orange Bud).

CBD Skunk Haze

With moderate THC levels of around 8% and similar CBD levels, CBD Skunk Haze photoperiod feminised seeds suit the grower looking for a more manageable high with smoother psychoactive effects. Popular with many recreational growers as a less-potent option and adored by medical growers. Takes around 9 weeks in bloom with notably heavy harvests of white-trichome loaded buds. One of the most reliable and popular members of the CBD cannabis seed collection.

Auto Lemon Kix

Looking for fast autoflowering Skunk seeds with THC levels in the 20-25% range? Auto Lemon Kix is the perfect choice. This sativa-dominant auto is noted for her super-fruity and very sweet candy-flavoured buds. She takes around 12 weeks to grow indoors from autoflower seed to harvest, but the short extra wait is worth it for the sublime bud quality. This auto impressed so much that she made it into the exclusive high THC cannabis seed collection, home only to those Dutch Passion marijuana seeds that can make the 25% THC mark.

Auto Euforia

Auto Euforia is a classic autoflowering skunk seed selection. She has a fast growth cycle, around 10-11 weeks from autoflower seed to harvest. Her powerful euphoric high has wide appeal and the deliciously enjoyable after-effects last for hours. With THC levels up to 20%, XL yields and a complex skunky terpene profile she enjoys universal bag-appeal.

Growing Skunk cannabis from seed to harvest

One of the bonus features of growing Skunk cannabis seeds is that they are often among the easiest, low-maintenance strains you can choose. Expert growers choose Skunk weed seeds as they allow the skilled cultivator to really push their genetics to deliver connoisseur pungency alongside blinding potency. Less experienced growers know that the inherently wide grow-latitude of the best skunk cannabis seeds will allow them a harvest even with a few rookie errors along the way.

Growing skunk weed seeds indoors

If you have bought the best Skunk cannabis seeds you owe it to yourself to offer the optimised environment which will allow the genetics to thrive and produce the exceptional results that they can deliver. Quality LED grow lights are a must for the serious indoor growers, and supplemental UVA/UVB lights are highly recommended to the quality conscious producer.

An aerated root environment via the use of air pots or felt grow sacks will show superior results to traditional plastic non-aerated grow containers. Maintaining stable ‘sweet spot’ nutrition and light levels may not be easy, but Skunk seeds will reward those that can.

Use of slow-release organic nutrients, such as those from BioTabs, are a great option for those that have struggled with the quality limiting effects of over-feeding/under-feeding using bottled nutrients.

Growing skunk weed seeds outdoors

Many enjoy growing Skunk cannabis seeds outdoors, feeling that natural sunlight is the best way to produce the most intense flavours. In the northern hemisphere, outdoor cannabis tends to bloom around August/September and is often ready to harvest in late September or early October (April in the southern hemisphere).

If your outdoor climate has plenty of golden summer days at that time of year, then you are in good shape to grow some outdoor Skunk weed seeds. With good quality soil you can grow monster outdoor plants 3-4m tall and almost as wide.

But if your climate is changeable with early autumn/fall storms then you may prefer the security of growing autoflowering Skunk cannabis seeds. These take around 3 months to grow, just choose 3 months of warm sunny weather and let the genetics take care of the grow!

What is the easiest Skunk weed strain to grow?

If the cannabis seed provider has done their job well, then all Skunk strains should be easy to grow. But if you’re looking for a distinctly easy grow experience which will still yield XL quantities of fearsomely powerful skunk buds then Auto Euforia would be a great choice!

What is the fastest Skunk weed strain to grow?

Again, Auto Euforia, around 10-11 weeks. Auto Lemon Kix takes a week (or so) longer but offers the possibility of maximised THC levels (around 25%+) if optimised conditions can be provided by the experienced grower.

What is the highest yielding Skunk weed strain to grow?

Orange Bud, especially when given a sizeable period of vegetative growth (either indoors or outdoors) can reach huge proportions. Outdoors she can reach 3-4m tall in a warm sunny climate.

What is the most potent Skunk weed strain to grow?

Auto Lemon Kix, with her 25% THC capabilities is the staff pick for anyone shooting for THC saturation. Euphoria is another very highly rated Skunk cannabis seed selection.
