Of the many strands available today, the classic Skunk XL is still among the best. This 75 percent sativa blend has its roots in the Mexican, Colombian and Afgan races. It revolutionized cannabis for a new generation.
This strain grows well both indoors and out. Under a 600 watt bulb, you can expect to get between 65 and 75 grams per plant or 500 grams per meter squared. In a warm climate like Italy, Spain or California, you can expect a yield of 100 grams per plant outdoors. Skunk XL can also be grown in colder climates like the Netherlands or the United Kingdom but will not reach the full yield.
This plant is a dream to grow. For a Sativa, it has very little stretching during the flowering period and requires a relatively small amount of maintenance. This makes Skunk XL a perfect plant to grow in both soil and hydroponic based operations. It is especially well suited for sea/screen of green operations.
When looking to maximize flavor, the flowering should be considered complete at the seven to eight week mark. Many, however, let it go as long nine or 10 weeks to give the smoke an extra kick. Because of the short flowering time, ease of growth and large yield, Skunk XL is considered among the premium cash crops available today.
Skunk XL is a popular strain because it provides an instant head high then a slow creeping full body stone. Smokers enjoy the sweet, fruity taste that makes hitting the joint or bong a pleasurable experience. Due to the sweetness, this is also a strain that works well in edibles.
The ease of growth and popularity of this plant makes it well suited for bulk growth. Feel free to contact us if you need assistance.
