Also known as: Kiwi Skunk
Kiwiskunk Strain Overview
Kiwiskunk is a distinctive indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from the cannabis scene of New Zealand in the 1980s and was later developed by various breeders including Kiwiseeds. Created as a cross between Skunk #1 and New Zealand Skunk (with some sources citing NYC Diesel as the other parent), this strain was developed to capture the classic Skunk genetics while introducing tropical fruit aromatics from New Zealand breeding programs. The strain gained popularity for combining the reliability and vigor of traditional Skunk varieties with a unique sweet, fruity aroma profile that reflected its New Zealand heritage. Kiwiskunk plants typically display classic Skunk characteristics including short, stocky growth, dense trichome production, and quick flowering times. The buds are characterized by bright green spade-shaped nugs with bright orange hairs and a coating of amber crystal trichomes. The strain is particularly noted for its exceptional mold resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation in various climates.

Kiwiskunk Strain Growing Information
Kiwiskunk is considered easy to moderate difficulty for cultivation, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain flowers in 6-9 weeks (45-60 days) indoors and finishes by mid-September to early October outdoors in the northern hemisphere. Indoor yields range from 400-500g/m² (14-18 oz/m²), while outdoor plants can produce up to 18 ounces per plant. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with particular success in greenhouses. Plants maintain a manageable height with short, stocky growth patterns typical of Skunk genetics. Kiwiskunk exhibits excellent mold resistance and can handle humidity fluctuations better than many strains. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, making trimming easier. Strong odor control is essential during cultivation as the strain emits a very pungent skunky aroma.
