T Skunk
Also known as: Thai Skunk, Thai Skunk #1
T Skunk Strain Overview
T Skunk, also commonly referred to as Thai Skunk or Thai Skunk #1, is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between classic Thai landrace genetics and Skunk #1. This strain emerged during the late 1980s and early 1990s as breeders sought to combine the energetic, cerebral effects of traditional Southeast Asian sativas with the stability, resin production, and faster flowering times of Skunk #1. The result is a strain that maintains much of the sativa character while being more manageable for cultivation in non-tropical environments.
The plant typically displays a tall, lanky structure with long internodes, characteristic of its Thai heritage. The buds are often airy and elongated, with a moderate to heavy coating of trichomes. The foliage tends to be a vibrant green, sometimes with subtle purple hues that may emerge in cooler temperatures. The aroma profile is complex, blending the sweet, fruity, and sometimes spicy notes of Thai genetics with the distinctive skunky, earthy undertones inherited from its Skunk parent.
T Skunk is noted for its clear-headed, uplifting effects that are less likely to cause anxiety or paranoia than some pure sativas, making it a popular choice among users seeking daytime functionality with mood enhancement. The strain has maintained a cult following among sativa enthusiasts and has been used in breeding programs to impart its energetic qualities to other hybrids. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, it remains valued for its unique combination of traditional and modern cannabis characteristics.

T Skunk Strain Growing Information
T Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, primarily due to its sativa growth patterns. The plants can reach considerable heights, often stretching 150-200% during the flowering phase, making them better suited for experienced growers with adequate vertical space. Flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates.
Indoor cultivation is recommended for better environmental control, though the strain can be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper training and nutrition. The plants respond well to techniques like topping, low-stress training (LST), and screen of green (ScrOG) to manage height and improve light penetration. T Skunk prefers stable temperatures and good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in its dense flowering sites. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding.
