What is Early Skunk
Early Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain developed specifically for outdoor growers. It combines the robust genetics of classic Skunk #1 with a dash of Early Pearl to shorten flowering time and increase resistance to colder climates. This strain has been bred to deliver high yields and premium quality even in less than optimal conditions. With its impressive combination of robustness, potency and aromatic profile, Early Skunk has quickly found its place among the favourites of the cannabis community. Especially in temperate to cooler climates, it unfolds its full potential and is therefore ideal for outdoor growers.

THC & CBD values
Early Skunk impresses with a THC content of 15 to 20%, making it a strain with moderate to strong potency. These levels provide a balanced psychoactive experience that can be both relaxing and mildly invigorating. Early Skunk's CBD content is low, typically below 1%, making the strain clearly focused on mental and physical enjoyment. It is particularly suitable for users looking for an intense but controllable effect without the effect becoming too overwhelming. This combination of THC and CBD makes Early Skunk ideal for recreational users who prefer a multi-faceted and versatile experience.

Growing instructions for Early Skunk
Location and climate:
Early Skunk was specially developed for outdoor cultivation in temperate to cooler climate zones. However, it also thrives excellently indoors if the conditions are optimal. A sunny, sheltered location promotes the best results outdoors.
Flowering time:
The flowering time is shorter than that of classic Skunk varieties and lasts around 7-8 weeks. Outdoors, it can be expected to be harvested from the end of September to mid-October, making it ideal for areas with short summers.
Nutrients:
Early Skunk does not require excessive fertilisation, but benefits from a balanced supply of nutrients. Nitrogen is essential during the growth phase, while phosphorus and potassium should dominate during the flowering phase.
Care and training:
This variety requires little care and is easy to handle even for beginners. Regular pruning promotes air circulation and light penetration into the lower parts of the plant. Techniques such as low-stress training (LST) can be used to maximise yield.
Yield:
Indoors, Early Skunk produces around 400-500g/m², while outdoor plants can reach 500-600g per plant in optimal conditions.
Resistance:
Early Pearl's genetic lineage makes it particularly resistant to mould, disease and pests, making it an ideal choice for less experienced growers or challenging growing conditions.
Harvesting and curing:
After harvesting, the flowers should be slowly dried and then carefully cured to preserve the full flavour and maximum potency.
