Sugaree Skunk
Also known as: Sugar Skunk, Sugaree
Sugaree Skunk Strain Overview
Sugaree Skunk is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene in the early 2010s. The strain represents a carefully crafted cross between classic genetics, combining the sweet, fruity characteristics of Sugar Daddy with the pungent, skunky aromas of an Afghani Skunk phenotype. Breeders sought to create a strain that maintained the cerebral effects of sativa-dominant hybrids while incorporating the physical relaxation typically associated with indica varieties. The result is a versatile strain that has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its well-rounded effects and complex flavor profile.
Visually, Sugaree Skunk plants produce dense, resin-coated buds that display a striking contrast between deep forest green calyxes and vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are typically covered in a thick layer of trichomes that gives them a frosted, sugary appearance, which likely contributed to the 'Sugaree' portion of its name. The buds often exhibit purple hues when grown in cooler temperatures, particularly during the final weeks of flowering. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable, combining sweet, candy-like notes with the distinctive, musky scent characteristic of skunk genetics.
Sugaree Skunk has become particularly noted for its consistent performance and reliable effects, making it a favorite among growers who value predictability. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in craft cannabis circles and medical dispensaries. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on individual tolerance and the specific phenotype. Its genetic stability has also made it a popular choice for breeders looking to incorporate its sweet flavor profile and balanced effects into new hybrid creations.

Sugaree Skunk Strain Growing Information
Sugaree Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Sugaree Skunk is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during the flowering phase when dense buds can develop. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks to enhance coloration and terpene production.
