Skunk Auto
The Skunk Auto strain was created in the Netherlands in the late 1990s by crossing powerfully popular parent strains Acapulco Gold, Colombian Gold, and Afghani, and thanks to its autoflowering capacity, Ruderalis. The Indica-dominant hybrid boasts deep body relaxation, a happy state of mind, and an uplifting, euphoric, cerebral high that makes users feel as if they are floating. The soothing effects are merely a bonus to the anytime-of-day effects users crave. Skunk Auto cannabis plants have a very pungent and distinct aroma that weedheads flock towards. Its sour, earthy, mossy aromas mixed with skunky notes are unique to this classic Skunk variant. The skunky flavor follows suit, with hints of herbs, earth, and other sweet and sour tastes. The Skunk Auto strain has been called one of the dankest buds you can smoke by cannabis aficionados.

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.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Skunk Auto cannabis seeds can be grown indoors and outdoors by all levels of growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and slightly cooler at night. The light cycle for this strain is 18-20 hours of light per day throughout the grow. Because it is an autoflowering strain, you do not need to change the light cycle to induce flowering.
- Moisture control: Humidity levels should stay around 60% through the vegetative stage and drop to 40% during flowering.
- Training Techniques: Low-stress training, and topping are the best training techniques for this strain. These techniques will increase your yields come harvest time by allowing light to reach every level of your plants, creating an even grow from top to bottom.

Dominant Terpenes in Skunk Auto: Perfectly Pungent
The Skunk Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene, limonene, and pinene are secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Found in spices and cannabis, this terpene has a peppery and spicy taste and smell.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Found in peach and mango fruits, this terpene is responsible for the skunky aroma and taste of this strain.
- Limonene: Citrus Smell and Taste – Found in citrus rinds, limonene can help balance out myrcene’s earthy and skunky notes.
- Pinene: Found in Pine Needles – This terpene is known for its anti-inflammatory effects as well as being a bronchodilator.
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.

I recently decided to try my hand at growing cannabis from seeds, and let me tell you, it was a game changer! The seeds I got were bursting with vitality. From the moment I planted them, I could see the difference. Within days, little sprouts began poking through the soil. I couldn’t believe how quickly they grew! The leaves turned a vibrant green, and I found myself checking on them every morning. The yield once harvest time came was astonishing! I felt like a proud parent watching my little green babies thrive. The quality of the bud was outstanding!

Wow, just wow! I purchased some cannabis seeds on a whim, curious about growing my own plants. The experience has been nothing short of magical! After germinating, my seeds shot up like rockets—literally overnight! Each day was a new adventure as I watched them flourish. I meticulously cared for them, and it truly paid off. The aroma that filled my garden was incredible, a blend of sweet and earthy notes. When it was finally time to harvest, I felt a rush of excitement and pride. The buds were dense and full of flavor. I can’t recommend this enough!
