Overview
Skunk Auto is an autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain developed by Fast Buds Company, derived from the legendary Skunk genetics that revolutionized indoor cannabis cultivation in the 1970s. This indica-dominant hybrid (65% indica, 35% sativa) represents a modern adaptation of the classic Skunk strain, enhanced with ruderalis genetics to create an autoflowering variety that maintains the original's distinctive characteristics while offering faster, easier cultivation.
The strain exhibits the classic Skunk appearance with dense, frosted white buds displaying pink and purple hues accompanied by abundant electric orange hairs. Plants typically reach heights of 80-100cm, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with limited space. The autoflowering nature allows for a complete seed-to-harvest cycle in just 8 weeks, making it one of the fastest-growing strains available. Known for its exceptional hardiness and resilience, Skunk Auto can withstand adverse weather conditions and is particularly well-suited for growers in regions with short summers or colder climates.
The strain's terpene profile combines classic Skunk earthiness with surprising modern sweetness, producing an aroma reminiscent of a candy store with old-school funk. This unique flavor profile, combined with its ease of cultivation and reliable genetics, has made Skunk Auto popular among both novice and experienced growers seeking a dependable, fast-flowering strain with authentic Skunk characteristics.
