Breeder's Description - 'Early Skunk'

An excellent hybrid between Skunk #1® and Early Pearl®.
Outdoor growers are usually dissatisfied with the finishing date of the regular Skunk strain. The Early Skunk® finishes about 2 weeks earlier than Skunk #1® due to the influence of the Early Pearl®.
The influence of the latter is also noticeable in the smell and the high: sweet and smooth. On top of that, the strain combines a good yield with mould resistance.

Finishing: October 1.
Height: 200-300 cm.
Yield: up to 500 gr.

I have grown Sensi Seed Early Skunk over the last two years both indoors, outdoors and under glass. I would recommend this strain to anyone growing outdoors where plants may be susceptible to mould, as it is highly resistant and to growers indoors who require a faster finishing ‘Skunk’ strain. My only concern with this strain is the poor germination rates I encountered.

I germinated in Sowing and Cuttings compost half a pack of seeds (x8) both years and only achieved a 5/8 successful germination rate both years. During the first year all five plants were grown in a greenhouse resulting in two females. During the second year the five germinated seeds produced four females, two of which were grown under glass and two outdoors.

After two months of vegative growth cuttings were taken from the greenhouse grown plants and these clones grown indoors under artificial light. Although there was a spider mite problem these clones survived and produced rock hard buds in around 50 days.

The greenhouse grown plants also produced some lovely solid bud sites and were not affected by mould later in the season, as was another strain that I was growing beside them. These plants finished around early to mid October (location SE England).

The outdoor grown plants also finished around the same time with one of them producing pink buds from the early flowering stage.

Overall I think this strain is easy to grow, produces clean, hard buds when other plants are being affected by mould and yields above average with a ‘balanced’ smoke – RECOMMENDED.

This report is limited on my experience with a Half seedpack (half was from a friend).

I made it because Sensi's Early skunk (Early Pearl x Skunk #1) is a lovely tasting outdoor variety with huge grow-potentials.

The seeds were put in moist and ph tested soil. After germination they were moved ...continued
