Citrus Skunk
Also known as: Citrus Skunk #1, Citrus Skunk OG
Citrus Skunk Strain Overview
Citrus Skunk is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from California's cannabis breeding scene. The strain combines the classic Skunk genetics with citrus-forward varieties, resulting in a plant that maintains the robust growth characteristics of Skunk while introducing bright, citrus aromas. Breeders specifically selected for plants that expressed strong terpene profiles while maintaining the reliable effects and cultivation traits of traditional Skunk varieties.
Visually, Citrus Skunk typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-like structure despite its hybrid classification. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, complementing the strain's citrus theme. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating the strain's substantial cannabinoid production.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines the classic skunky, earthy notes with pronounced citrus undertones, primarily lemon and orange. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation requirements. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Citrus Skunk has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate citrus-forward varieties with reliable effects.

Citrus Skunk Strain Growing Information
Citrus Skunk is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain typically flowers in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach medium to tall heights, especially when grown outdoors, where they may stretch to 6-8 feet. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Citrus Skunk prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly in dense bud structures. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG can help manage height and improve light penetration to lower branches. The plants respond well to most growing mediums including soil, coco coir, and hydroponic systems.
