What is the Kiwiskunk strain?
Kiwiskunk is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
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.
