Sweet, citrusy, and just a little bit wild. Island Sweet Skunk feminised is a punchy sativa that’s easy to grow, full of flavour, and brings a smile with every puff. A real feel-good classic.
Island Sweet Skunk is the kind of strain that shows up to the party with a permanent grin. It’s bright, citrusy, and completely unwilling to let a bad mood stick around. Originally born on the West Coast and refined on Vancouver Island, this sativa-heavy hybrid is a true old-school classic that’s still turning heads today.
What makes it special? Aside from the unmistakable skunky-sweet nose and energetic high, it’s a seriously vigorous grower. Beginners love it for its forgiving nature. Veterans love it for the nostalgia and the punch. Either way, it’s a plant that doesn’t need a lot of fuss to deliver the goods.
Island Sweet Skunk Fem has deep roots in the Pacific Northwest cannabis scene. It was developed as a local twist on Skunk #1, enhanced by crossing it with a Sweet Pink Grapefruit strain. That tweak gave it a sharper citrus flavour and a more uplifting vibe, making it stand out even among other old-school sativas. Over the years, it’s become one of Canada’s most iconic cultivars and is still a favorite for growers looking for high energy and good times.
Expect a proper mood shift with this one. It kicks off with a wave of happiness, then keeps things light and creative. Perfect for daytime use, especially if your to-do list involves music, movement, or conversations that go a little off track in the best way possible. The high is clear, uplifting, and just calming enough to take the edge off without sinking you into the couch.
The flavour? Classic skunk up front, but backed by a spicy-sweet twist that lingers on the tongue. There’s something oddly tropical about it too. Imagine someone left a grapefruit in a pine forest and lit a joint nearby. That’s the vibe.
Potent enough to hit the mark without overwhelming the senses, Island Sweet Skunk sits right in that happy place between everyday use and special occasion stash. The THC levels give it a nice kick, while a whisper of CBD rounds out the edges for a balanced, smooth ride.
Island Sweet Skunk’s terpene profile is loaded with character. Limonene brings a bright citrus note that lifts the mood from the first puff. Pinene adds a clean, sharp edge reminiscent of fresh pine needles. Then there’s camphene and beta-caryophyllene layering in that herbal-spicy funk that gives this strain its classic skunk personality. A touch of linalool and bisabolol smooths things out, giving the aroma a slightly floral finish and making the whole experience just that little bit more memorable.
This is a solid pick for beginners who want something more exciting than the usual couch-locking indicas. Island Sweet Skunk Fem grows with strength and purpose, handling minor mistakes with ease and bouncing back quickly from stress. It’s not fussy and doesn’t require a lot of micromanagement. Give it light, decent airflow, and space to stretch and it’ll do the rest.
Indoor growers will appreciate how manageable this strain is, even when it gets a bit leggy. With some light training and a stable environment, it’ll produce long colas that shine under LEDs or HPS lights. Outdoors, it thrives in warm, dry climates and can stretch to impressive heights when given the room. Greenhouses are a great middle ground, especially if you're working with less predictable weather.
Thanks to its robust genetics and strong resistance to fungi, it’s a dependable option even in environments where other sativas might struggle.
Island Sweet Skunk flowers for about 9 to 10 weeks, and once it hits its stride, it doesn’t hold back. Indoor yields range between 500 to 600 gram per m2, while outdoor plants can push up to 700 grams per plant with the right care. Expect 600 to 700 gram per plant from well-tended outdoor plants and chunky, resinous buds indoors that still carry that sweet, unmistakable skunky scent.
Height-wise, she likes to stretch. Indoors, plants usually land between 125 cm and 175 cm, while outdoor specimens can easily hit 150 cm to 250 cm if given space and sunlight.
Island Sweet Skunk is a lively, flavourful sativa that combines punchy effects with old-school personality and modern grower-friendly traits. Whether you’re looking to spark some creativity, lift your mood, or just grow something with a bit of West Coast soul, this one checks all the boxes.

The smell is sweet and skunky, which I love. The high is energetic and keeps me going through the day. Had a small issue with pests, but nothing too serious. Overall, a fantastic strain that I’ll be growing again.
