Chunk
Also known as: Chunk 1, Chunk Diesel
Chunk Strain Overview
Chunk is a classic indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the 1990s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics, who crossed the legendary Skunk #1 with an Afghani landrace to create this robust, resinous variety. Chunk gained popularity among both medical and recreational users for its reliable effects and manageable growth characteristics, becoming a staple in many cannabis gardens during the early 2000s.
The strain is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size, with a structure that lives up to its name. The flowers display a deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge in cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of milky-white trichomes. The buds are exceptionally resinous, often appearing frosty under proper lighting conditions.
Chunk is known for its pungent aroma profile that combines earthy, skunky notes with subtle hints of pine and spice. When properly cured, the strain develops a complex terpene profile that translates to a smooth, flavorful smoke. The strain's genetics contribute to its resilience and adaptability, making it suitable for various growing environments while maintaining consistent characteristics across different phenotypes.

Chunk Strain Growing Information
Chunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors but adapts well to indoor setups. Plants typically reach 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing proper nutrient management as the plants are moderate to heavy feeders during the flowering phase.
