History of the Skunk XL cannabis strain
Skunk XL, a variety stemming from the renowned Skunk #1 and Afghan strains, represents a classic lineage that has laid the genetic groundwork for a myriad of contemporary marijuana seeds.
Originating from a blend of Colombian, Mexican, and Afghan landraces, this strain boasts an optimal genetic composition, offering an equal blend of 50% Sativa and 50% Indica. This unique genetic balance has significantly contributed to the evolution of modern cannabis.
Throughout its evolution, this strain has undergone meticulous refinement to enhance its signature sweet taste and substantial bud formation, characteristic of Skunk #1. Today, Royal Queen Seeds proudly introduces this classic variety into the modern era, offering feminized seeds for an elevated growing experience.
Skunk XL: an easy to grow experience
Cultivating Skunk XL provides an accessible journey for growers. Expecting a height of over one meter, up to 1.5 meters, this plant yields a substantial main cola, making it relatively easy to maintain.
Its limited stretching during the flowering phase, especially for a Sativa-dominant strain, coupled with its large bud structure, contributes to a hassle-free cultivation process. It thrives in various setups, including soil and hydro setups, particularly ideal for Sea/Screen of Green operations.
Indoors, anticipate an average yield ranging from 65-75 grams per plant or between 600-650 grams per square meter under a 600w light. Outdoors, Skunk XL flourishes in warmer climates like Spain, Italy, or California, yielding over 600 grams per plant when provided with suitable conditions. While adaptable to more northern latitudes like the UK or Netherlands, its full potential is best achieved indoors due to its relatively short flowering time.
The flowering cycle typically completes in 8-9 weeks, ensuring maximum flavor. Extending the flowering period by an additional week augments the smoke’s potency. Its short flowering duration, ease of growth, and high yield make it a top choice for commercial cultivation, often considered as a prime selection for cash crops.
Fruity Cerebral High
When it comes to the smoking experience, Skunk XL Feminized offers a delightful combination of an immediate cerebral high complemented by a gradual creeping body stone. Smokers relish its sweet, fruity taste, making each hit from a joint or bong a genuine pleasure.
