Concord Skunk
Also known as: Concord Skunk #1, Concord Skunk OG
Concord Skunk Strain Overview
Concord Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the Northeastern United States, specifically the Massachusetts cultivation scene. The strain's name references both its genetic heritage and its distinctive aromatic profile, which combines fruity notes with classic skunky undertones. Breeders developed Concord Skunk by crossing Skunk #1 with a local Massachusetts indica-dominant hybrid, creating a balanced strain that maintains the resilience of its Skunk lineage while introducing more complex flavor characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The buds are known for their sticky resin production, which contributes to both their potency and their distinctive aromatic profile.
Concord Skunk gained popularity in the Northeast cannabis community for its balanced effects and reliable performance both for consumers and cultivators. While not as widely distributed as some commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following in regional markets. The strain represents an example of regional breeding efforts that adapted classic genetics to local preferences and growing conditions, resulting in a unique expression of the Skunk family with distinct regional characteristics.

Concord Skunk Strain Growing Information
Concord Skunk is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing proper nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
