Cultivation and Growth

Purple Skunk Auto is a fast-flowering autoflowering strain, completing its life cycle in 8 to 10 weeks. This makes it an excellent option for growers just starting out or those with limited time. Its 70% Indica dominance results in a compact growth pattern, ideal for indoor cultivation where space is limited.

Germination Guide

Germinating Purple Skunk Auto seeds properly is essential for a successful grow. Handle the seeds with care, as they are delicate and can be easily damaged by bacteria or contaminants. Always wash your hands before handling the seeds and use clean tools to avoid introducing harmful microbes.

To germinate, begin by moistening two paper towels with room temperature water. Place the seeds on one paper towel, spacing them about 2 cm apart, then cover with the second paper towel. Store the setup in a warm, dark location under an opaque plate. Check every 4–6 hours to ensure the paper towels remain moist.

Germination typically occurs within 24 to 120 hours. Once the tap roots appear, plant them with the roots facing down into soil, covering them with about 2 cm of soil. Keep the soil consistently moist by spraying it regularly. It may take up to two weeks for the plants to begin growing.

Maintain a temperature of 70–90ºF during germination and use purified water with a pH between 5.5 and 6. Avoid exposing the seeds to light for more than one minute and never apply pressure to them during the process.
