Washington Skunk
Also known as: Washington Skunk (Pacific NW Roots), Fabmans Farm Washington Skunk
Washington Skunk Strain Overview
Washington Skunk is a specialized landrace adaptation developed by Pacific NW Roots (Fabmans Farm) beginning in 2007. This strain represents a unique breeding project that collected three northern Canada Skunk strains to create an inbred line (IBL) specifically adapted to the Pacific Northwest climate. The project involved combining an autoflower and a photosensitive Skunk, both from the early 1970s, along with an F7 cross of the two. Through meticulous selection over multiple seasons using open pollination, the breeders eliminated most auto and late-flowering phenotypes, retaining only about 10% to create a strain perfectly suited to the short summers of the Pacific Northwest. The strain exhibits significant phenotypic variation, with colors ranging from lime green to purple and black. Plant structures vary considerably between two main phenotypes: a shorter 3-4 foot structure with tight nodes and a main cola versus a larger 6-8 foot plant producing golf ball-sized buds with wider node spacing. The flavor profile spans from pine and cedar to sweet musks, reflecting the complex genetic heritage. This strain represents an ongoing breeding project aimed at eventually producing two outdoor harvests per year in Washington state, with breeders also working on a full autoflowering version. The Washington Skunk project exemplifies regional cannabis adaptation, creating genetics specifically tailored to local growing conditions while preserving classic Skunk characteristics.

Washington Skunk Strain Growing Information
Washington Skunk is specifically bred for Pacific Northwest outdoor cultivation with a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (approximately 67 days). The strain is mostly indica-dominant and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though it was specifically developed for outdoor growing in Washington state's challenging climate. Plants exhibit medium to tall height with significant phenotypic variation. One phenotype produces shorter, more compact plants (3-4 feet) with tight node spacing and a dominant main cola, while another phenotype grows much larger (6-8 feet) with numerous golf ball-sized buds and wider node spacing. The strain produces large yields and shows colors ranging from lime green to purple and black. This is a regular seed variety, never available as feminized seeds. The breeding project continues to narrow down flowering times to potentially allow for two outdoor harvests per year in the Pacific Northwest climate. Growers should expect moderate to advanced difficulty due to the phenotypic variation and the need for proper selection.
