Skunk D
Also known as: Skunk D OG, Skunk Diesel
Skunk D Strain Overview
Skunk D is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines classic Skunk genetics with Diesel lineage, resulting in a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the reliable growth patterns and pungent aromas of Skunk varieties with the potent cerebral effects and fuel-like terpene profiles of Diesel strains. While its exact breeding history is not fully documented in public records, it represents a deliberate cross between Skunk #1 and a Diesel phenotype, likely NYC Diesel or Sour Diesel.
Visually, Skunk D plants typically display medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure characteristic of its Skunk heritage. The flowers often exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain's name reflects its dual heritage, with 'Skunk' representing its foundational genetics and 'D' indicating its Diesel lineage.
Notable features of Skunk D include its complex aromatic profile that combines the earthy, skunky notes of its Skunk parent with the pungent, fuel-like undertones from its Diesel ancestry. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and reliable performance in cultivation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Skunk D has developed a following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate classic genetics with modern refinements.

Skunk D Strain Growing Information
Skunk D is considered a moderately difficult 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 average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering.
