How to grow White Strawberry Skunk
Taste
Seb's take
Bred from Swiss Eldbeer genetics for maximum fruitiness, and it delivers — strawberry, berry and pineapple stacked on the nose with a pungent Skunk backbone. The 50/50 high runs creative, energetic and talkative rather than sleepy. Have wire ready for the branches; 800g/m² indoors is a lot of fruit to hold up.
Where it comes from
Strain Hunters bred White Strawberry Skunk with a single ambition — the fruitiest buds you will ever meet — and traced her back to a Swiss strain named Eldbeer, with Skunk genetics underneath. She splits even at fifty-fifty Sativa and Indica. The Eldbeer supplies the strawberry the name promises, the Skunk the backbone, and the record is refreshingly plain about the whole exercise: fruit first, and no apology for it.
Nose & flavour
This is the whole point of her, and she delivers — strawberry front and centre, berry and pineapple stacked behind it, with a general sweetness and orchard-fruit lift running through. Underneath sits a pungent Skunk backbone keeping the sweetness honest. A loud, layered fruit basket of a nose, exactly as the breeding intended, and unusually generous with it.
The high
Creative, energetic and focused, with a happy, uplifted and talkative thread running through — a bright, engaging effect in keeping with the even fifty-fifty make-up. She lifts the head and keeps it moving rather than settling it, sociable and quick-witted. One for the daylight hours and good company, not for the quiet end of the evening.
Growing it
She grows to a medium-tall stature depending on your methods, and the record is candid that her long branches will need help — have wire ready, as an 800 g/m² yield is a great deal of fruit for those branches to hold up. She finishes across 56 to 63 days, roughly 8 to 9 weeks, in thick, resinous buds, at 17.94% THC. Plan the support before flower fills out, and she rewards the forethought handsomely.
