Overview
DNA Genetics of the Netherlands were looking for a program to further develop their very popular Sleestack strain. As with many breeding programs the first thing they asked themselves was – “What would it be like if we crossed it with Skunk?”
Crossing strains with Skunk is often a good idea, and this strain is no exception.
Sleestack X Skunk is a medium sized plant that is vigorous and easy to grow. If left untrained it will form into a typical Christmas tree shape.
Those of you who enjoy training their plants could basically use any training method with this plant. Sea of Green set-ups are also suitable, although some lollipopping may be necessary to remove the side branches and concentrate production into the lead kola. You should also think about flipping to 12/12 quite early, to keep plants small and uniform, if SOG is something that interest you.
As with many of DNA Genetics strains, Sleestack X Skunk has largely been developed to appeal to the hash producers out there. Resin production is very high. Just harvesting and manicuring will provide you with good scissor hash. Whatever your preferred method of hash-making, returns from Sleestack X Skunk are consistently high.
Other concentrates are also easily extracted from this strain and are generally potent and tasty.
Of course, it’s not only about extractions. Lovers of the green will be equally satisfied with this strain and yields of over 15oz per meter squared are not uncommon.
When smoked, Sleestack X Skunk has a deep and satisfying flavor. You can expect a rich citrus top note with an underlying dankness that betrays the Skunk genes in the mix. Stealth growers should always be wary of Skunk based strains and if privacy is important to you, think about beefing up your odor control measures.
The hit from Sleestack X Skunk is a clear and uplifting high that makes this a suitable daytime smoke and a good medicinal strain. This is a strain that has been used successfully for anxiety and depression and is worth investigating further if that is something you are looking for.
