Skunkberry
Skunkberry
Also known as: Skunk Berry
Overview
Skunkberry is a distinguished hybrid cannabis strain created from crossing classic Skunk and Blueberry genetics, though the exact phenotypes used remain a subject of debate among cultivators. This award-winning strain gained significant recognition when it took first place for Best Hybrid at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup in Denver and later won Best Adult-Use Hybrid Flower at the 2016 THC Championship, also in Denver. The original breeders remain unknown, but the strain is notably available through Canadian seed bank Peak Seeds BC.
Skunkberry produces moderately-sized plants with light green buds featuring bright orange hairs and heavy trichome coverage. The strain demonstrates remarkable potency variation, with THC levels ranging from approximately 17% to an exceptional 40% in some phenotypes. This wide potency range makes it particularly suited for experienced cannabis users rather than beginners. The plant exhibits excellent growing characteristics, responding well to nutrients and producing heavy yields during its 8-9 week flowering period.

Growing Information
Skunkberry is considered moderately challenging to grow, suitable for cultivators with some experience rather than complete beginners. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks. It produces compact, moderately-sized plants that are particularly well-suited for spaces with height limitations. The strain responds exceptionally well to nutrients and produces heavy yields with dense, trichome-covered buds. Growers report that it requires fair attention during both vegetative and flowering stages but rewards careful cultivation with impressive swelling during the final weeks of flowering.
