Owls Skunk
Also known as: Owl's Skunk
Owls Skunk Strain Overview
Owls Skunk is a relatively rare cannabis strain that appears to have emerged from underground breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2000s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from mainstream breeders or seed banks. Its name suggests a possible connection to either a breeder using 'Owl' as a moniker or a specific breeding project, combined with classic Skunk genetics known for their pungent aroma and balanced effects. The strain has maintained a cult following among certain cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive characteristics.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a complex visual appearance. Coloration often includes deep forest green hues with occasional purple undertones that may emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's most notable feature is its powerful aroma profile that combines classic skunky notes with unexpected floral and citrus undertones.
While not widely commercialized, Owls Skunk has been preserved and circulated within specific cannabis communities, particularly in Oregon and Washington. Its rarity means that consistent phenotypic expressions can vary between different growers' batches. The strain represents an example of regional cannabis genetics that developed outside mainstream commercial breeding programs, maintaining characteristics valued by connoisseurs seeking unique terpene profiles and effects.

Owls Skunk Strain Growing Information
Owls Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or Mediterranean-like outdoor conditions. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and requires adequate airflow around the flowering sites.
