Skream
Skream Strain Overview
Skream is a relatively modern cannabis strain developed by the breeder known as 'The Skunkman' (Sam the Skunkman), who is also credited with bringing Skunk #1 to the Netherlands. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as part of a wave of potent hybrids designed for both recreational and potential therapeutic use. It is bred for its balanced effects and complex aromatic profile, making it popular among connoisseurs seeking a well-rounded experience.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly indica-dominant. The flowers are often medium to large in size, featuring a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that can emerge under cooler temperatures. Orange pistils weave through the buds, which are heavily coated in crystalline trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain is known for its vigorous growth and reliable performance, which has contributed to its steady presence in certain cannabis markets.
Skream is particularly noted for its distinctive terpene profile that combines earthy, sweet, and citrus notes. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a dedicated following among growers and users who appreciate its consistent quality and balanced effects. The strain's genetics reflect careful selective breeding aimed at achieving a harmonious blend of physical relaxation and mental stimulation.

Skream Strain Growing Information
Skream is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the conditions that can enhance its purple coloration.
Indoor yields are generally good, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant or more in favorable climates. The plants tend to stay at a manageable height, usually reaching 100-160 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Skream responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures to prevent stress, as the strain can be somewhat sensitive to environmental fluctuations. Adequate ventilation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds. Some phenotypes may benefit from slightly cooler temperatures during the final flowering weeks to encourage purple pigmentation. The strain has moderate nutrient requirements and generally shows good resistance to common pests and diseases.
