Skunk XL: The Colossal Skunk Classic
The History of Skunk XL
Skunk XL is a legendary strain developed by Dutch Passion in the mid-1990s as an enhanced, high-yield version of the original Skunk. By selecting from robust Skunk #1 phenotypes and crossing in heavy-yielding genetics, breeders produced a plant known for its massive, resin-coated colas and dependable performance indoors and out. Skunk XL quickly became a staple among home growers and commercial cultivators alike for its vigour and ease of cultivation.
Terpene profile: Earthy, skunky, and citrusy
Skunk XL’s aroma is anchored by myrcene, delivering a musky, grounding earthiness. Caryophyllene contributes a spicy, peppery backbone that accentuates its skunky funk, while limonene weaves through with a subtle citrus lift. Together, these terpenes create a classic Skunk bouquet—pungent yet balanced, with enough brightness to keep the overall profile from feeling one-dimensional.
Flavors: Skunk, sweet earth, and lemon zest
On the inhale, Skunk XL greets you with its trademark skunky punch, reminiscent of old-school hash. Mid-draw, a sweet, herbal earthiness emerges, adding depth and smoothness. The exhale finishes with a clean lemon-zest note—like freshly peeled citrus—tempering the funk and leaving a pleasantly lingering aftertaste. It’s a flavor journey that stays true to Skunk heritage while showcasing its modern, XL-sized charm.
