SKUNK XL FEM

Skunk XL, also known as Super Skunk, is an absolute classic strain that has served as the genetic foundation for many marijuana seeds available today. It originated from a blend of Colombian, Mexican, and Afghan landrace strains, resulting in a 50% Sativa and 50% Indica genetic profile that revolutionized cannabis breeding.

Royal Queen Seeds has taken this classic variety and brought it into the modern era with their Skunk XL feminized seeds. Over the years, this strain has been refined to enhance its sweet taste and develop big buds, which are characteristic of Skunk #1.

Skunk XL is known for its ease of cultivation. It typically grows to over 1 meter in height, up to 1.5 meters, and produces a large central cola. It has minimal stretching during the flowering stage, especially for a Sativa-dominant strain, and its big bud structure makes it a pleasant plant to grow. It is suitable for both soil and hydroponic setups, and it thrives in Sea of Green (SOG) or Screen of Green (SCROG) operations.

Indoors, Skunk XL feminized plants yield an average of 65-75 grams per plant or between 600-650 grams per square meter under a 600W light. Outdoors, in warm climates such as Spain, Italy, or California, it can produce over 600 grams per plant. While it can be grown in more northern latitudes like the UK and Netherlands, it may not reach its full potential compared to indoor cultivation.

The flowering time of Skunk XL is relatively short, typically 8-9 weeks, which helps maximize its flavor. However, growers can extend the flowering period by an additional week to enhance the potency of the smoke. Its short flowering time, easy cultivation, and high yields make it a popular choice for commercial “cash-crop” growers.

When it comes to the smoke, Skunk XL Feminized offers a great combination of an instant head high with a subtle body stone that gradually intensifies over time. Smokers appreciate its sweet and fruity taste, which adds to the overall pleasure of each hit from a joint or bong.
