Grow room performance and ease of management

Special Skunk Auto grows with impressive vigor, developing a massive central cola and side branches laden with resinous flowers.

Management tip: “Thanks to its medium-sized structure and low leaf production compared to flower production, this strain is perfect for Sea of ​​Green (SOG) or SCROG systems. Post-harvest trimming is very quick, a detail greatly appreciated by commercial growers. Indoors, it responds best to a photoperiod of 18-20 hours of light”.

Outdoors, it adapts to a variety of climates, as long as it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and temperatures don’t drop below 10°C.
