About this release
Our first Early Skunk was a revolution for outdoor growing, especially here in the northern latitudes. A grow-anywhere powerhouse, she was bred to flourish in short summers, to resist pests and fungus and to deliver knockout harvests! Early Skunk Automatic cannabis seeds bring the extra advantages of autoflowering, feminized traits to this outdoor strain. Early Skunk Automatic cannabis seeds are our latest refinement to this outstanding strain. These outdoor cannabis seeds produce plants whose autoflowering ability allows them to finish even earlier than their parent strain, and to bloom well in locations with erratic light cycles. The first Skunk varieties were released before indoor growing was widespread. Outdoor growers in continental climates often found it difficult to get the best out of these new, high potency indica-sativa strains. Skunk buds, being particularly dense, were prone to fungus at the end of summer. In theory, those first, non acclimatised Skunk hybrids were quick enough to finish flowering outdoors in the north. However, just as buds were reaching their fattest, ripest point, they could easily be ruined by the cool, wet weather of early autumn. To avoid this frustration, growers in northern summers often had little choice but to harvest their most exotic plants before they had reached their full budded potential. Sensi Seeds solved this problem by breeding Skunk #1 with our ever-reliable Early Pearl to create Early Skunk. In fact, the problem was solved in two different ways, since regular Early Skunk finishes flowering a good two weeks earlier than Skunk #1 outdoors, and is also resistant to mould and fungus. Plants grown from seed will begin flowering after a certain period of vegetative growth, rather than being triggered to flower by a short or declining photoperiod (light hours per day). For Early Skunk Automatic, this is usually around the time plants produce their 6th to 9th pair of full-sized leaves - which typically takes 6 to 8 weeks
