Purple Skunk Automatic

Purple Skunk Automatic – Sensi Seeds Research

Purple Skunk Automatic combines three traditional cannabis lines: Shiva Skunk, Skunk #1 and Hindu Kush Auto form the genetic basis of this feminised autoflower. With a ratio of 75% Indica to 25% Sativa, its character is clearly Indica-dominant. The strain was developed in 2021 within the more experimental Sensi Research line.

When cultivated, Purple Skunk Automatic remains predominantly compact and, as an autoflowering strain, does not require a change in the light cycle to initiate flowering. Particularly striking is the colouration that gives the strain its name: under suitable conditions, the plants can display intense purple hues, with cooler temperatures further promoting this characteristic.

In terms of aroma, Purple Skunk Automatic also clearly reflects its classic lineage. Earthy and powerful Skunk notes form the base and combine with a pleasant sweetness as well as exotic hints of sandalwood. This character continues in the flavour, where spicy nuances can also emerge alongside earthy depth and sweet Skunk.

Sensi Seeds Research: Innovation meets classic

Sensi Seeds Research is a separate line from the legendary seed bank Sensi Seeds. While the parent company has been synonymous with stable classics since the 1980s, the Research programme is aimed at anyone who is interested in new and exciting experiments. Modern strains are combined with proven classics, and the community actively participates in naming and providing feedback.
