How to grow Citral Skunk
Taste
Seb's take
Citral crossed with Skunk, and both parents show up in equal measure — dense, large buds and an aroma that does not travel discreetly. Citrus, fruity, sour and sweet lie over the skunk on the nose; the high is creative, uplifting and euphoric. Straightforward indoors or out, and generous with the yield.
Where it comes from
The Bulldog Seeds crossed Citral with Skunk, and both parents turn up in equal measure, a straight 50/50 split between indica and sativa. Nothing hidden or complicated in the lineage: two established names, evenly weighted, producing dense buds and a nose that carries the skunk plainly. A workmanlike cross that trades novelty for reliability, and is the better for it.
Nose & flavour
Citrus and fruit lead, sour and sweet by turns, with the skunk sitting underneath and refusing to be ignored. It is a lively, contradictory nose, bright fruit over something distinctly funky, and the large dense buds carry it heavily. Does not travel discreetly, in the finest tradition of anything with Skunk in the name.
The high
Creative, uplifting and euphoric, the even split keeping it buoyant rather than heavy despite a serious 26% THC. A bright, encouraging sort of effect, the kind that lends itself to conversation and doing rather than sitting. Powerful, in the record's word, so worth respecting, but agreeable with it.
Growing it
A feminized plant at 26% THC, flowering in 63 days, roughly nine weeks. The record does not give a height, so take the temperament instead: dense, large buds and a plant equally at home indoors or out, straightforward either way. Yields are the draw, heavy at 600 to 700 g/m². A generous, uncomplicated grow that hands back a great deal for the space, provided you have somewhere to put the smell.
