OG Skunk Strain

OG Skunk is a sativa-dominant hybrid that brings out the tangy terpene profile of its parents OG # 18 and Skunk #1.

The former is a descendant of the original ocean grown strain.

Like hundreds of its siblings, it has the distinct lemon flavored smoke that induces a stimulating psychoactive effect that eventually tapers into a relaxing euphoria.

However, like its parent, it has a weakness against high levels of humidity. To address this, the breeders added Skn # 1 to improve its overall sturdiness.

Apart from its distinct scents and flavors, OG Skunk is also famous for its recreational effects.

It has a wake and bake onset characterized by an awe-inspiring high that improves both the mood and productivity.

On the other hand, it has a tranquilizing physical buzz that crushes stress all throughout the body.

It is an impressive therapeutic herb as well. Its delicious smoke has the energizing quality of citric terpenes that invigorate the senses.

Meanwhile, its restorative head to toe high is a great source of comfort for patients dealing with mental and physical health affliction.

A light pressure begins to build around the temples. Subtle at first, it gradually intensifies as users take a few more swigs off of the sour smoke.

Fragrance

OG Skunk is, without a doubt, a pungent strain.

Its distinct terpene profile has a skunky overtone with sour undertones that remind users of fuel or diesel.

Crushing then combusting the buds releases its tangy citrus scent with hints of sugar.

Flavors

In the palate, OG Skunk bursts into a myriad of flavor.

A sourness is most notable at the first swig before it breaks into hints of fuel, diesel, and skunk.

Swirling the smoke inside the mouth brings out its fruity overtones that eventually leave a citrus aftertaste on the exhale.

Adverse reactions

Apart from the usual dry eyes and cottonmouth, users may also green out while using OG Skunk.

It is marked by a keen awareness that disorients the mind, causing anxiety levels to rise.

Although the side effects are mostly limited to a headache, practicing pacing or staying cautious while consuming the bud will prevent it.

For the inevitable dryness, on the other hand, one may down a few glasses of water during and after the session to ease the discomfort.

Medical

OG Skunk is a source of reprieve for long-sufferers of chronic stress.

It delivers an uplifting head high that instantly brightens the mood.

It clears the mind of negativity too while its soothing euphoria calms the overwhelming dread caused by life’s stressors.

Through its sedating properties, OG Skunk cradles users to a deep slumber while enhancing both its quality and quantity.

Growing

OG Skunk is a sturdy strain. It has a thick frame which are indicated by its thick branches and leaves.

It is also quite compact which allows growers to strategize its placement with ease.

Because of this, it is a great introductory strain for aspiring beginners.

It grows with relative ease in the northern hemisphere due to its propensity for cool weather.

However, it will need to be transferred indoors when the weather is harsh such as during heavy rains which may snap its branches into two.

If it is inconvenient, one may also choose to install a temporary enclosing in the are.

This will also keep it safe against the frost or snow that might kill it overnight.

Indoors, it will need to be pruned often to thin out its dense foliage.

Otherwise, it can harbor moisture in between its leaves and the lower nodes which will develop into mold or mildew.

Moreover, the high levels of water in the air can prevent the soil from drying properly leading to root rot.

Other than trimming, growers can also install a proficient ventilation system that will reduce humidity.

It works best with the Sea of Green method. It takes advantage of its short structure and lateral branching while maximizing yields.
