Citral Skunk is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from Skunk genetics. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of 63 days, with the plant maintaining a moderate level of cultivation difficulty. It is versatile enough to be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments and is recognized for producing a high yield. This genetic line is notable for its role as the parent of Sour OG Cheese.
The aromatic profile of Citral Skunk is defined by a complex orchestration of sixteen terpenes, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene. This primary terpene is supported by nerolidol, terpinolene, and pinene, which are followed in descending order by myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, limonene, and linalool. The tertiary range of the profile includes bisabolol, guaiol, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, eucalyptol, and finally ocimene, creating a nuanced sensory experience.
As a THC-dominant strain, Citral Skunk is reported to produce effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to manage symptoms associated with stress, pain, or difficulty with sleep. Its influence on the modern cannabis market is solidified by its contributions to successful subsequent crosses, ensuring its continued relevance within contemporary breeding programs.
