Growing

Skins Skunk has the typical structure of an Indica. It is short, sturdy, and quick-flowering. Because of its thick stalks and branches, it has a higher chance of surviving the cool weather of the northern hemisphere. Because of this, it is great strain to grow outdoors in either gardens or farms.

It will need a temporary enclosing during early winters. Otherwise, the plant will die overnight due to the frost. It will also provide protection against heavy rains which might break its branches in half. Strong winds, on the other hand, strengthen its branches and stalks.

Indoors, it will need to be pruned or thinned out. Its foliage is dense and often holds on to moisture in between its crevices. If left out, it develops into mold or mildew and result in bud or root rot. Installing a ventilation system will also help reduce humidity levels while fans keep the room cool.
