Our Skunk Special, a.k.a. Red Skunk, stems from the infamous Red Skunk clones that conquered the Netherlands in the late 80s/early 90s. Ferry started working on the Skunk Special in the 90s. The Skunk Special is the result of several S1 lines inbred with a 25% of Automatic. The current line was selected over several generations in order to retain the right and essential Skunk features yet creating a fast flowering strain.
Showing almost no variety between the individuals, this is among the most stable and homogenous strains since it was selected from a few thousand plants. This Skunk Special is a powerful and strong plant with thick, solid stems, creating massively tight buds during the flowering stage. The Skunk Special has gorgeous looking red pistils that give this plant an amazing bag appeal.
Old-School Taste – Less Growing Time
Skunk Special, a 50/50 mix of Sativa and Indica, is a Cannabis strain that was initially a product of 3 races: Colombian, Mexican and Afghan. Much work has been done over the years to improve the quality of this strain in terms of its flowering time while retaining its iconic Skunk qualities.
A Reliable Plant for Everyone to Grow
Easy to manage when growing at home for beginners, requires less effort to maintain and it stretches quite a bit, with big buds, hence it is pleasant to the grower and suitable in soil and hydro set-ups. Individuals are described as almost carbon copies of each other, having little distinction, so each plant is hardy and stable with thick stems that can take the weight of its tight buds.
Skunk Special likes to be fed with good nutrients. Start feeding light and gradually increase the nutes for optimal growth. Light feeding also helps you steer clear from any deficiencies. She definitely likes a lot of light. To be more specific far-red spectrum is what helps her reach her full potential in yield.
A Strong Plant with A Strong Taste
The smell can be described as extremely pungent and citral with the classic cat-piss smell of the old-school Skunk. It is a very clean smoke. A Skunky and slightly sweet taste that is pleasantly acidic towards at the end. A mildly relaxing body high that causes a tingling sensation combined with a very pleasant head high.
GOAL PHOTO:
Skyla was a sneaky girl in that she was planted on July 27 and decided to show up for the show the weekend that I was away so I've put August 5 as her birthdate but she could have surfaced August 4, 6 or 7 for all I know.
Without further ado, meet
Skyla on Day 2:
Skyla - Day 12:
A couple of them had more PM than trichomes in the pics you posted. I hope they send you replacements for every single one and they all turn out luscious!
Have you tried reaching out to Teddy to see if he has any influence over the sponsored ones? Two months is way too long to wait for delivery. My Weed Seeds Express orders used to come in less than three weeks.
