Skunk NL
Also known as: Skunk x Northern Lights
Skunk NL Strain Overview
Skunk NL is a indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Rokerij Seeds, representing a crossbreed between the legendary Skunk strain and Northern Lights genetics. This strain exhibits a typical sativa/indica ratio of 20% sativa to 80% indica, making it predominantly indica in its effects and growing characteristics. The strain was bred to combine the robust, aromatic qualities of the classic Skunk lineage with the calming, physically relaxing properties of Northern Lights, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid that maintains mental clarity while providing substantial body effects. As a relatively modern hybrid, Skunk NL represents the continuing evolution of the Skunk family, which traces its origins back to the legendary Skunk #1 created in the 1970s from Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold genetics.
The strain is notable for its functional effects, allowing users to remain mentally active and productive while experiencing the therapeutic benefits typically associated with indica-dominant varieties. Skunk NL plants display medium-sized growth patterns and are considered suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with a relatively short flowering time of approximately 8 weeks. The strain's development represents the ongoing refinement of cannabis genetics, specifically targeting users who seek the medical benefits of cannabis without overwhelming sedation.
