Skunk XL

Skunk XL: A Revitalized Classic

An iconic strain, Skunk #1 has set the blueprint for many of today’s cannabis varieties, thanks to a genetic composition originally blending Colombian, Mexican, and Afghan land races. This mixture initially resulted in a 75% Sativa and 25% Indica lineage, which over time has been perfected to a 50/50 balance, enhancing its sweet flavor and signature large buds. Royal Queen Seeds has now modernized this classic with a feminized version.

Cultivation Details

Skunk XL feminised reaches a height of 1 to 1.5 meters, boasting a sizable main cola, and is relatively easy to grow. With its minimal stretch during flowering and substantial bud structure, it’s well-suited for both soil and hydro setups, including Sea/Screen of Green methods. Indoors, yields range from 65-75 grams per plant or 600-650 grams per square meter under a 600w light. Outdoors, in warm climates like Spain, Italy, or California, yields can exceed 600g per plant. Its shorter flowering time allows for cultivation in cooler climates, though with diminished results.

Yield and Flavor

Flowering concludes in 8-9 weeks to optimize flavor, although extending by a week can intensify the smoke’s potency. Skunk XL promises a significant yield and easy growth, positioning it as a prime choice for commercial cultivation. The strain delivers an initial head high followed by a gradual body stone, characterized by its sweet, fruity taste.
