How to grow Skins Skunk
Taste
Seb's take
Four generations of selection and stabilisation went into Skins Skunk, a Michigan Skunk and Afgooey cross finishing in 63 days. Hashy on the nose with pungent backnotes and a lemon-sweet edge underneath. The high is euphoric, giggly and happy, with hunger following not far behind.
Where it comes from
Loud Seeds took Michigan Skunk and Afgooey and worked the regular seeds through four generations of selection to stabilise them — F4, in the shorthand, which is patient work for a patient result. The aim throughout was a dependable, high-THC skunk that comes in quickly and behaves the same each time. Seventy percent indica, thirty sativa, with the Afgooey side lending resin and body to the Skunk framework. Nothing flashy in the pedigree; a good deal of quiet discipline in the breeding of it.
Nose & flavour
Hashy on the nose and on the palate, with pungent backnotes running underneath — the sort of aroma that reads as resin before anything else. A lemon-sweet edge lifts it, keeping the whole thing from sitting too heavy. Properly skunky, in short, but with more nuance than the family name usually promises.
The high
Euphoric, giggly and happy, with a healthy appetite following close behind and relaxation settling in at the back. A cheerful, sociable effect that leans indica by the finish without ever turning leaden. Good-humoured company, provided you have something to eat within reach.
Growing it
THC runs 17–21%, and the record has her finishing in around 63 days — brisk, and one of the reasons the line is worth the trouble of regular seeds. Yields come in at 400–500 g/m². Being a regular strain she will throw both sexes, so a grower will want to sex and cull as she goes, but the reward is breeding stock four generations deep in stability. A hardy, quick, resinous skunk for someone content to do a little sorting for a lot of consistency.
