Skunk Star
Also known as: Skunk Star OG
Skunk Star Strain Overview
Skunk Star is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines classic Skunk genetics with contemporary breeding techniques. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to enhance the legendary Skunk #1 lineage with more potent and flavorful characteristics. It represents a continuation of the Skunk family's evolution within the cannabis breeding community.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The buds often display a slightly foxtailed structure, which is characteristic of some Skunk phenotypes. The visual presentation is complemented by a complex aromatic profile that has become a hallmark of this strain.
Notable features of Skunk Star include its balanced effects and robust growth characteristics. The strain has gained recognition among cultivators for its resilience and among consumers for its well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Skunk Star has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities for its reliable performance and enjoyable effects.

Skunk Star Strain Growing Information
Skunk Star is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to reach a medium height, typically between 120-180 cm when grown outdoors, with indoor plants generally remaining shorter through training techniques. Skunk Star responds well to common training methods like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Preferred growing conditions include stable temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F) and moderate humidity levels. The strain has good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper airflow is essential to prevent bud rot in dense colas. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase. The plants develop a strong, skunky aroma during late flowering that requires adequate odor control measures for discreet cultivation.
