Skunk Auto

Skunk Auto: Deliciously Skunky

Skunk Auto seeds grow to medium-height plants with long, narrow buds. As earlier discussed, these buds, and the plants in general, have a potent, pungent, highly recognizable aroma. You get a whiff of that standout scent long before you ever lay eyes on the plant itself. The plants may appear green, but when you look closer, you can see that the nearly harvestable buds are purple and dark, while the nuggets you get after harvest are bright green and orange. You don’t need to break apart the nuggets to unleash that skunky aroma. The Skunk variants have won numerous awards, from Cannabis Cup victories to smaller, local awards from the west coast to international titles. The pedigree of this particular strain is one of the best the cannabis world has to offer.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Skunk Auto is a grower-friendly strain of cannabis. First-time cultivators can easily bring this strain to fruition simply by following a few rules and tips. While the Skunk autoflowering cannabis strain was created to be grown inside, it produces vigorous plants that thrive outside in warm, mildly humid climates where sunshine is abundant. It’s important to keep a close eye on humidity levels when your crops are in their flowering stage, regardless of whether you’re cultivating them indoors or out. The Skunk Auto strain is resistant to common molds and mildew while in the vegetative stage. Dialing down the humidity levels will ensure you won’t find mold or mildew on your buds during flowering.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Skunk Auto:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Skunk Auto seeds and are generally a huge part of most cannabis strains. That euphoric, happy, and creative feeling you get when enjoying the Skunk Auto strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 19%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the happy and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Skunk Auto cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Skunk Auto are less than 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Skunk Auto strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
