Northern Skunk Feminized Cannabis Seeds

Northern Lights (NL) and Skunk #1 are among the most prominent fundamental breeding forerunners that changed the face of cannabis cultivation. With these stable genetics and remarkable traits, these two became the cornerstone of most hybrids nowadays.

NL traces its roots to mostly to an Afghani with some Thai. Apart from that, this hybrid displays vigorous growth and is mostly impervious to diseases and harsh weather conditions. On top of that, it is also a high-yielding variety that produces dense, resin-coated buds. Such astounding traits qualified NL to set the standard by which most other Indica hybrids are judged.

On the other hand, there is Skunk #1 which is best known for a pungent skunky aroma - hence, the name. With roots stemming from Afghanistan, Mexican, and Colombian landraces, this cultivar is highly stable and resilient against all the odds. It brings about a euphoric and energetic buzz and is so famed for its notorious potency to the point that the word “skunk” became a general term for powerful ganja. More than that, it is a crowd favorite among growers for its rapid and rewarding flowering.

The clash between these classic giants gave rise to an ultimate hybrid with the best of both worlds - an energetic high that uplifts the spirit and a sedating effect that relaxes the mind and body. Sold as feminized seeds at Homegrown Cannabis Co., the Northern Skunk cultivar is guaranteed to delight cultivators with its superior traits and yields.

Growing Northern Skunk Feminized

Notwithstanding its stellar characteristics, cultivating Northern Skunk is incredibly easy. Typical of Indica-dominant hybrids, it develops a small and compact stature. Hence, managing its height is not an issue, and it can be cultivated even in grow rooms with tight spaces. Not only that, thanks to its Afghani lineage, this plant is also resilient to molds and harsh environmental conditions, and quite forgiving when it comes to slight negligence. That makes it an ideal choice for an amateur’s first grow.

Another appeal of the NL x Skunk feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. is that it is guaranteed to be nearly all females upon growth. Without male plants threatening to pollinate the females, heavy yields of resinous buds with luxurious organoleptic properties can be achieved. But of course, this still depends on the kind of environment that the plants would grow in.

To boost its terpene profile, it is recommended to plant the seeds in nutrient-rich organic soil. For most though, a hydroponics setup is more preferable as it significantly boosts the yields and growth rate by supplying the essential nutrients and minerals directly to the roots. As such, the fruits of labor may be reaped after flowering for 7 to 8 weeks.

NL x Skunk is also a high-yielding variety. With the use of the Sea of Green method, 400 to 500 grams of resinous buds could be harvested indoors. For more abundant yields though, it is best to grow this plant outdoors where it can receive ample sunlight. Doing so will yield about 900 grams of buds per plant by the first or second week of October.

Fragrance and Flavor

This cultivar allures the senses with an overwhelmingly skunky aroma with trails of earthy and spicy notes. Such a combination is augmented by the scent of freshly squeezed lemons. To complement this exquisite terpene profile, bursts of sweet, citrusy, and herbal flavours dominate the palate for a sublime cannabis experience.

Effects

As expected of the two classic giants’ progeny, NL x Skunk takes one on a rollercoaster ride of uplifting yet sedating psychedelic high. Courtesy of its Skunk lineage, the high it induces starts with an energetic head rush that uplifts the spirits and inspires focus as well as heightened attenuation to the senses. During the earlier stages, doing work becomes more enjoyable than ever - thanks to the clear-headed high this cultivar offers.

However, after a few hours or so, anticipate this giddy euphoria to taper off as the relaxing sensations come creeping in. It spreads calmness throughout the body which eventually lulls the senses to sleep. Eventually, mobility eventually becomes limited as the body succumbs to the sedative effects. Such effects make this hybrid a perfect nightcap after a tiring day or a chill cultivar to share with friends on a lazy afternoon.

Despite providing such a balanced high, some of its inexorable adverse effects include dry eyes, cottonmouth, and mild dizziness. These symptoms usually dissipate on their own, but they could be mitigated by drinking lots of water. In rare cases, some may also experience bouts of anxiety and paranoia. However, this could be avoided by dosing within the prescribed amount.
