Sis Skunk
Also known as: Sis Skunk #1, Sister Skunk
Sis Skunk Strain Overview
Sis Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the underground breeding scene in the Pacific Northwest during the late 1990s. The strain's exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with competing claims about its genetic heritage, though most sources agree it represents a selective breeding of classic Skunk genetics with other landrace or heirloom varieties. The name 'Sis' reportedly refers to its development within a close-knit community of growers who treated the plant as a 'sister' project to other Skunk variants circulating at the time.
The strain is characterized by medium-tall plants with dense, resinous buds that display a distinctive color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, particularly in cooler growing conditions. The buds are typically covered in a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Sis Skunk is noted for its pungent aroma that combines classic skunky notes with undertones of earth and spice, making it easily recognizable to experienced cannabis enthusiasts.
While not as commercially widespread as some mainstream Skunk varieties, Sis Skunk has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain represents an interesting chapter in the evolution of Skunk genetics, showcasing how regional breeding communities contributed to cannabis diversity before the modern commercial market emerged.

Sis Skunk Strain Growing Information
Sis 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 late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Sis Skunk is relatively resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and prefers a slightly acidic soil pH (6.0-6.5).
