Skud
Also known as: Skud Bud, Skud #1
Skud Strain Overview
Skud is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain that has gained recognition primarily through underground cultivation circles and regional popularity in certain North American markets. The exact origins of Skud remain somewhat obscure, with competing claims about its genetic heritage. Most sources suggest it emerged in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the late 1990s or early 2000s, developed by independent breeders seeking to create a resilient, high-yielding indica with distinctive aromatic properties.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a structure that resembles classic indica morphology. Skud's flowers are known for their vibrant green coloration often accented with purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature prominent orange pistils. The strain's name is believed to reference its 'skunky' aroma combined with 'bud' characteristics, though some suggest alternative etymologies.
Skud has maintained a cult following among certain growers due to its reputation for resilience and consistent performance. While not as commercially widespread as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in specific regions where it is prized for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's genetic stability and adaptability to various growing conditions have contributed to its persistence in the cannabis gene pool despite limited commercial promotion.

Skud Strain Growing Information
Skud is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Skud plants tend to remain relatively compact, usually reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them suitable for space-limited grows.
Yields are generally above average, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, and outdoor plants producing 16-20 ounces per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Skud responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, which can help maximize yields. The plants have good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper airflow is recommended to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
