How to grow Skunk Automatic
Seb's take
Skunk #1 crossed with Ruderalis for a plant with its parent's resistance to pests and disease, and its habit of announcing itself in flower well before harvest — a carbon filter is not a suggestion, it is a requirement. Indica-dominant, finishing in a brisk 40-55 days at a modest 80-100cm. Little fuss, less discretion.
Growing Skunk Automatic: what to expect
An autoflower: she flowers on age, not on light hours, which removes the single biggest way to get the schedule wrong. The auto versus photoperiod lesson explains what that changes — which is nearly everything.
Flowering takes 13 weeks — she is not to be hurried. Patience is the price of entry; the flowering guide will help you pay it gracefully.
A middling 100 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.
A solid, dependable yield — 350 – 450 g/m² under decent conditions. Nothing that requires bragging; everything that justifies the effort. The yield lesson covers getting to "decent conditions".
THC tests under 18% by the breeder's numbers — measured rather than fierce. Some growers are after exactly that; the rest may keep scrolling with our blessing.
