How to grow Island Sweet Skunk
THC 18% 
Flowering 63 days Taste
Seb's take
Sativa-dominant and unashamed of it, growing tall enough to need tying up in the final weeks under her own weight. Sweet skunk with tropical citrus on the nose; the high runs energetic, euphoric and creative, with a stone that brings on a sweat of its own. No veg time required for a Sea of Green.
Where it comes from
Next Generation Seeds keep the parentage to themselves here; the record names no forebears, so neither shall I. What it does declare is a sativa-dominant growth structure, and the name points where the flavours confirm: somewhere warm, sweet and skunky. A tropical lean, then, without the pedigree spelled out. Sometimes a plant's character is testimony enough.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and skunk lead, in that order, with tropical citrus lifting over an earthy base. It is the sort of nose that announces its holiday intentions early, bright fruit up front and funk underneath. Not a discreet traveller, but an honest one. The citrus keeps the skunk from turning heavy.
The high
Energetic, euphoric and creative, a daytime sort of lift that keeps the mind moving. The breeders note, with admirable frankness, that the stone brings on a sweat of its own. Happy and uplifted throughout, then, with a bit of a glow to it. Not the sitting-down sort, whatever else it may bring on.
Growing it
She flowers in sixty-three days and asks for headroom, growing tall on sativa-dominant lines. In the final weeks she wants tying up or staking, since she puts on enough weight to trouble her own branches, which is a good complaint to have. No veg time is required for a Sea of Green, which makes her efficient with space and light. No yield or height figure is recorded, so take the staking note as your guide to her ambitions.
