Skunk #11

This particular phenotype of the iconic Skunk #1 is best known for its fantastic yield, adaptability, stability, remarkable versatility in cultivation and incredible effects that have earned it a reputation as a true legend in the world of cannabis breeding.

Genetics and Characteristics

Skunk #11 is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (75/25) hybrid with a high THC content of 21-24%. It forms huge plants with a Christmas-tree structure, short to medium internodes and produces colas of remarkable size with large and dense nuggets covered in crystalline trichomes. Indoors, flowering takes 8-9 weeks with a generous yield of 500-600 g/m² (18-21 oz). With proper training techniques, you can expect up to 750 g/m² (26 oz). Outdoors, it all depends on the skill of the grower and the climate, but yields can range from 800 g (28 oz) to 1500 g (53 oz) per plant, exceeding your highest expectations.

Flavor and Aroma

The bold and memorable aroma of Skunk #11 will delight connoisseurs and fans of classic old-school cannabis. Rich and pungent notes of aged cheese, citrus, sage, and musk mingle with hints of coffee, berries, damp earth and pine, taking on a slight meadow herb undertone with proper curing. The smoke is dense and rather spicy, with a subtle piquancy on exhalation.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Responsible users, remember you are holding a true Skunk capable of many things! Unlike most sativa-dominant hybrids and other members of the Skunk family, the Eleventh provides a balanced high that is both invigorating and relaxing. Many consumers note that this hybrid can act as a powerful aphrodisiac, so keep a stash of these buds for a pleasant and fulfilling evening with your sweetheart, assuming your tastes and interests align.

Therapeutic effects are enhanced by the synergy of a broad and rich terpene and cannabinoid profile, aiding in the relief of muscle spasms, pain, inflammation, stress, fatigue, PTSD, insomnia, and loss of appetite.

Cultivation

It's hard to find a more suitable strain for a first grow than Skunk #11. In this case, the choice is obvious! This strain performs excellently in any growing environment. It is remarkably forgiving of common mistakes made by beginners, undemanding of nutrients, and has a strong immunity to most pests and bacteria. A true all-round warrior! However, the gigantic size of the plant, which can reach up to 3 meters (10 feet), can compromise your plans in terms of a discreet grow. To control Skunk #11's exuberance, use a variety of training techniques and canopy manipulations. Start shaping a low-profile plant as early as the third week of the vegetative stage. You'll thank yourself later.

Indoors, pay special attention to ventilation with the use of a refillable carbon filter. Remember, this is Skunk! Without proper control, it can emit an intense odor. Be sure to prepare trellises or yo-yos to support the branches that will carry the weight of the buds. The optimal pot capacity is no less than 25 liters (6.6 gallons). Full-spectrum LED lighting that closely mimics sunlight will increase both the quality and quantity of your yield. Despite the strain's lack of strict requirements for growing conditions, don't neglect the watering and feeding schedule, with strict monitoring of pH and ppm levels. Maintain proper air exchange and circulation with the help of a reliable in-line ventilation system and oscillating fans.
