Skunk Fast Version

Skunk Fast Fem is the special quick edition of the original strain, but most of the growth characteristics are unchanged. It is generally undemanding, hardy, and resilient, making it one of the easiest to grow. Because of the rapid pace of development, this version tends to be shorter, but the yield is just as generous. Appearance-wise, it is a beautiful plant with light yellow and green leaves, mixed with some silver hues. The buds contain bright orange, curly hairs, and a thick sheen of trichomes coats every surface of the dense nuggets. 

There are just a few things for growers to keep in mind to guarantee a successful harvest. Although it is naturally resistant to most pests and diseases, regular maintenance is still essential. Particularly in the late stages, it becomes susceptible to mold. Unless the early signs of infestation are quickly spotted and taken care of, the entire crop could be vulnerable to an outbreak.

To prevent this from happening, prune the unnecessary foliage and ensure adequate air circulation to dry out excess moisture. Some experts recommend spraying compost tea directly onto the leaves and stems. Besides fighting off fungi like powdery mildew, this rich nutrient and microorganism mix improves the soil structure by enhancing aeration and water retention, and boosts nutrient uptake. Compost tea is pretty straightforward to make at home, and the benefits are worth the extra time and effort.

Whether growing indoors or outdoors, the most important considerations are the temperature and relative humidity (RH). The optimal temperature range is 20 to 26 degrees Celsius (69 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit). Use a hygrometer to confirm that the RH stays between 40 to 50%.

Skunk Fast Fem can thrive in either soil or a hydroponics setup. However, the latter method could sometimes raise the RH level, so extra ventilation should be installed. While you are at it, an odor-controlling carbon filter would also be useful as the odor is likely to be extremely pungent and pervasive. This strain is named Skunk, after all. 

Due to their short and compact stature, the plants will not require extensive training to control their height. Simply use the Sea of Green (SOG) technique to maximize the output. Arrange several bushes together to make the most efficient use of the available space. But, be sure to leave at least 30 cm (12 inches) between the plants so that there is ample airflow.

Aside from space, SOG also makes the best use of the grow lamps by creating a green canopy to capture the light. This compresses the vegetative stage to less than a month, but powerful grow lamps, such as 600-watt high-pressure sodium (HPS) or LED lights, are vital to maintain the momentum. By employing all these techniques, indoor cultivators will be able to coax out at least 400 (14 ounces) of buds per square meter.

Skunk #1 provides a fast-acting cerebral stimulation complemented by a heavenly body-calm. At first, it will give you a jolt of energy and inspiration. It lifts dark moods and focuses the mind, making it useful for tackling artistic projects or brainstorming innovative ideas. Most users become more sociable and chatty, welcoming opportunities to share profound and joyful thoughts and feelings. 

As the head high plateaus, a soothing sensation takes over the body. Tension and pain fade away, making the muscles and joints feel loose and relaxed. With the mental and discomforts gone, a full-blown euphoria kicks in. Couch-lock is unlikely unless you go beyond your personal limitations. 

This strain is best saved for late afternoon or early evening. Artists are especially fond of this pot, but it can be enjoyed by anyone who needs a shot of happiness and calm.

As mentioned earlier, Original Skunk is a prolific strain that has birthed several blockbusters. Among them is Skunk x Cinderella 99 Fast Fem, a balanced hybrid that also has an abbreviated flowering period. This crossbreed is an 80 to 120 cm (2.6 to 4 feet) small plant that is easy to cultivate indoors. After 6 to 7 weeks of budding, it will give you 400 to 600 grams (14 to 21 ounces) of invigorating, mind-clearing buds per square meter.

One of Skunk’s amazing children is Green Crack, and when it was crossed with Super Silver Haze, a star was born. Super Green Crack Fem is a pure Sativa with a mind-blowing THC content of 24%, so just a small amount is enough to wake you up and keep you going for hours. It’s better than a cup of coffee!

Another energizing strain but showcasing a delicious fruity flavor is Cinderella 99 x Blueberry Fast Fem. Cindy 99 was infused with DJ Short’s old-school Blueberry to duplicate the refreshing flavors of a tropical salad. Apple, berries, citrus, and pineapple – what more could you ask? The THC level is a moderate 18%, giving MMJ users relief from depression, stress, and pain without causing the jitters.

On the other side of the spectrum are the Indicas. A great one to augment your cannabis collection is Northern Lights Fast Fem. It is a cult favorite for many reasons, not the least of which is the pine aroma that is evocative of a relaxing trek through an old-growth forest. This strain is the epitome of a classic Indica, producing an incomparable calm and restful state.
