Chocolate Skunk by 00 Seeds was born from the selection of the most penetrating phenotype of the cross between Critical Mass —the Spanish variety with high production and ultra-fast flowering— and a Indicates Mazar of Afghan genetics. The objective was clear: obtain a plant 80% Indica with the best possible aroma, exceptional production and very short flowering. The result is a variety with a very pronounced and intense chocolate, musky and Skunk aroma from the first weeks of flowering, which requires carbon filters in indoor crops. Its improved resistance to powdery mildew and pests compared to the original Critical Mass makes it a safer and more reliable variety.

Plant morphology. Chocolate Skunk grows with a branched and robust structure, reaching between 80-120 cm indoors and up to 2.5 meters outdoors in optimal conditions. Its lateral branches are filled with very heavy buds that require staking. Flowering is complete in just 50-55 days indoors, being one of the fastest in the bank. Outdoors it is ready in mid-October with productions of up to 600 g/plant.

Appearance of the flower. The buds of Chocolate Skunk are very dense, compact and sticky, with a resin production that covers them completely. They have an intense green color with orange pistils and a very commercial and attractive appearance. The aroma when ripe is powerful and unmistakable: chocolate with a background of wet earth, musky and skunk. A highly demanded variety both for direct consumption and for resin extractions.

Cultivation tips

• What is the ideal climate to grow Chocolate Skunk ? prefer warm and sunny climates, where its ultra-fast flowering can be used to the fullest. Outdoors, the Mediterranean climate is ideal. Indoors it can be grown all year round with excellent results under any lighting system.
• What training techniques work best with Chocolate Skunk ? He SCROG It is very effective for this productive variety, distributing horizontal growth and maximizing flowering points. In SOG it also gives excellent results. It is advisable to avoid aggressive topping given its short cycle.
• What type of fertilization does Chocolate Skunk need? Be grateful for nutrition moderate but constant. Its ultra-fast flowering requires that the contribution of phosphorus and potassium be timely so as not to lose production. Bud weight and density stimulators are especially effective given the short flowering time.
• How should irrigation and humidity be for Chocolate Skunk ? Given the volume of buds it produces, it is especially important to maintain a good ventilation and humidity below 50% in flowering. Its branches require staking since the weight of the buds can break them without adequate support.
• Is it necessary to prune the Chocolate Skunk plant? The defoliation is highly recommended in this variety due to the density of its flowering structure. Removing leaves that prevent ventilation reduces the risk of fungus in its very dense buds. Cleaning low shoots also improves production concentration.
