Bestial Skunk
Overview
Bestial Skunk is a feminized cannabis hybrid developed by Elite Seeds, a Spanish seed bank founded in 2007 by university graduates specializing in plant genetics and breeding. This strain was created by crossbreeding Llimonet Haze with Skunk to moderate the intense stimulative effects of the potent Llimonet Haze while maintaining its desirable characteristics. The strain has won notable recognition in cannabis competitions, including a 3rd place award at the Beard Award Hash Cup in 2009 and a 2nd place prize at the Cata Cannabis Exterior de la Plana Baixa Vilareal. Bestial Skunk is characterized by its vigorous growth pattern with a sativa-dominant structure that features medium to long internodal spacing and strong branching. The strain produces large, compact buds covered in resinous trichomes that extend to the leaves and stems, creating an impressive visual appearance. Users report it has a distinctive lemon candy flavor profile with sweet citrus notes and a fresh, appealing aroma. The effects are notably cerebral and stimulating, making it popular for daytime use and social activities. Elite Seeds specifically developed this strain to be accessible to novice growers while still delivering premium quality results, combining ease of cultivation with exceptional potency and flavor characteristics.

Growing Information
Bestial Skunk is considered very easy to grow and is recommended for beginners. The strain exhibits excellent resistance to pests and diseases, making it a forgiving choice for novice cultivators. Flowering time ranges from 8-12 weeks depending on growing conditions, with most sources indicating 8-9 weeks for optimal harvest. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 1-1.2 meters and can yield up to 500 grams per square meter under 600W lighting. Outdoor cultivation is highly successful in Mediterranean climates, where plants can reach 2.5-3 meters tall and potentially yield up to 1.8kg per plant. The strain adapts well to various growing methods but performs exceptionally in hydroponic systems. It requires moderate nutrient levels and benefits from sea-of-green (SOG) setups indoors. Harvest occurs in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain's vigorous growth and strong branching may require support during flowering due to heavy bud development.
