Skunkin' Kush
Also known as: Skunkin Kush, Skunkin OG Kush
Skunkin' Kush Strain Overview
Skunkin' Kush is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines classic Skunk genetics with the renowned OG Kush lineage. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a cultivar that maintained the robust growth characteristics and pungent aroma of Skunk varieties while incorporating the potent effects and complex flavor profile of OG Kush. The exact origins remain somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it gained popularity primarily through the West Coast cannabis scene before spreading to other markets.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure, though sativa influence is evident in its branching pattern. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The most distinctive feature is its powerful aroma that combines the classic skunky scent with the fuel-like undertones characteristic of OG Kush.
Skunkin' Kush represents a bridge between traditional cannabis genetics and modern hybrid development. While not as historically significant as its parent strains, it has gained recognition among cultivators for its reliable performance and among consumers for its balanced effects. The strain's popularity has fluctuated over time, but it maintains a dedicated following particularly among those who appreciate classic cannabis aromas combined with contemporary potency levels.

Skunkin' Kush Strain Growing Information
Skunkin' Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the strong odor. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include adequate odor control due to the potent skunky aroma during flowering and attention to humidity levels in late flowering to prevent mold in dense buds.
