Skream has balanced effects.

Skream is a modern hybrid strain bred from the genetics of Cookies and Cream. Developed for cultivators seeking a robust and productive plant, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period and is considered to be of moderate difficulty regarding its cultivation needs.

The chemical profile of Skream is distinguished by a diverse array of sixteen terpenes led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. This composition continues with humulene, nerolidol, and linalool, followed by p-cymene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, guaiol, and pinene. The sensory experience is finalized by trace amounts of caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, borneol, terpinolene, and geraniol. This complex arrangement results in a multifaceted aroma and flavor profile unique to the specific concentrations of these dominant and secondary compounds.

As a THC-dominant hybrid, Skream is reported by users to induce effects that are simultaneously relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional selection for those managing stress, pain, or sleep-related concerns. Within the broader genetic landscape, Skream has established its own lineage through the development of notable offspring, most prominently the strain known as Grease Skunky.
