White Skunk #2
Also known as: White Skunk No. 2, WSK2
White Skunk #2 Strain Overview
White Skunk #2 is a stabilized hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of the original White Skunk lineage. The strain emerged in the late 1990s as breeders sought to refine the characteristics of White Skunk, creating a more consistent phenotype with enhanced resin production and potency. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, most sources indicate it was developed by European breeders who crossed multiple Skunk phenotypes with White Widow genetics, then backcrossed to stabilize desirable traits.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds covered in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes that give the plant its distinctive frosty appearance. The nugs typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking visual contrast. White Skunk #2 plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Notable features include its pungent aroma that combines classic Skunk funk with sweet, floral undertones, and its balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain has gained particular popularity among growers for its reliable performance and resistance to common molds and pests, though it remains less commercially widespread than some of its parent strains.

White Skunk #2 Strain Growing Information
White Skunk #2 is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early 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, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in dense buds, implementing low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during flowering. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) methods and produces abundant resin throughout flowering.
