Cerebral Stimulation with a Skunky Soothing Sensation

Bud Basics

A hybrid strain that’s the result of breeding between some of the most iconic strains in the cannabis community, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version retains the quick flowering time of both her parents and produces dense, incredibly resinous buds on a whole new level to anything present in her genetics.

Dank with earthy and wood-like notes, the aroma of this herb is classically enticing, much like Skunk #1 - but is by no means the most notable thing about her.

Capable of inducing an energetic, creative buzz, this weed works to invigorate and clear the mind before her Indica-leanings make themselves known soothing the body into a deep-seated sensation of relaxation that’s gentle in low doses, and utterly couch-locking with a few more tokes.

With a THC content of 16% to 20%, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast can be utilized as a medicinal strain as well as a recreational one, and her mood-boosting effect can be beneficial to those struggling with mental health issues such as stress or anxiety. She’s also a potent pain-reliever, capable of alleviating mild to moderate pain with ease, in addition to boosting appetite and aiding sleep.

Hardy, resilient, resistant to mold and mildew, and a fast-flowering photoperiod - all in all, there’s a lot to be said for cultivating this plant at home.

Ganja with outstanding traits, little experience is required to successfully cultivate this cannabis, and her yields are damn high too thanks to her Rosetta Stone lineage. Do remember though, Skunk x Rosetta Stone is a fast flowering strain - not an autoflower. This herb is still dependent on light cycles to move from her vegging phase to her flowering period.

Flavor and Fragrance of Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version

Instantly aromatic, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast is pungent with notes of earth and pine, that sweeten when combusted. Her smoke is smooth and fragrant as you exhale, with a grounding woodiness.

Effects

Of average level potency, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version has long-lasting effects that intensify the more you toke, strengthening her psychoactive traits. In smaller amounts, this weed begins in the head with an invigorating cerebral buzz that zaps energy through the mind to clear the head from cobwebs and boost motivation.

An activity-enhancing strain, this cannabis also improves creativity, increasing the flow of thoughts in the mind to enable you to create and innovate.

This stimulating mental effect is followed up with a calming, Indica-driven sensation that swarms throughout the body to soothe and release tensions in the muscles. Whilst ushering in a sense of happiness, this strain’s effects gradually grow stronger, until the relaxation gives way to sedation. In higher doses, this can overwhelm and lock you to the couch with ease, soon sending you off to sleep.

Like most strains, there’s a possibility of adverse effects with Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast. Most tokers will experience dry, red eyes and cottonmouth if ample hydration isn’t consumed during your session - so don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Medical Uses of Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version

Enjoyable as Skunk x Rosetta Stone’s recreational effects may be, as medicinal marijuana (MMJ), she also boasts significant therapeutic benefits as part and parcel of her psychoactive high.

Her gently uplifting euphoric effect is a great remedy for dealing with stress and worries, and can calm the nerves while alleviating melancholy symptoms - making her ideal for the management and reprieve of other psychological ailments, such as anxiety, depression and PTSD.

The natural analgesic compounds of this cannabis can also be of benefit to those seeking relief from pain. In combination with strong anti-inflammatory properties, Skunk x Rosetta Stone can alleviate the symptoms of such health issues as swelling, cramps, muscle spasms, joint pains and arthritis, headaches, migraines and PMS.

Due to the appetite-stimulating effect of this weed, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast is also an effective relief of nausea and vomiting, and can function to improve appetite in those with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, or struggling with lack of appetite due to the side effects of chemotherapy or medication for HIV/AIDS.

Growing Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version Seeds

Ideal for indoor cultivation, Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version exhibits plenty of growth traits that make her an all-round advantageous strain to grow, due to her small and bushy stature (growing to no more than 120 centimeters in height), resilient nature and resistance to pests, molds and mildews.

Thanks to her Early Skunk genetics, she’s also a viable strain for outdoor growing, if that’s more your thing.

Most beginners will be able to manage this strain without too much trouble, as she’s not particularly finicky, nor does she require any advanced knowledge or expertise.

Skunk x Rosetta Stone prefers 18 hours of light from an HPS/LED grow lamp during the initial vegging phase, and once her foliage has begun to develop she needs a little pruning and trimming to keep her branches in check, and to improve growth. When the branches are trimmed back, light and air circulation increase, and the plant can focus on sending her energy and nutrients to the budding sites rather than redundant foliage. Similarly, she’ll thrive well in a Sea of Green (SOG) setup, which will also work to increase the final yield.

Switching to a 12/12 light schedule will bring about the plant’s flowering stage, which will last for around six weeks since this strain is a fast version, and should leave you with a harvest of around 500 grams per square meter.

If you do grow Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast outdoors, remember that though she can tolerate a cooler environment, she still prefers a warm and dry place. These plants will only reach their full potential in such locales as the Mediterranean, Australia or California. In the northern hemisphere, she's ready for harvesting by the end of September and can provide around 550 grams of buds per plant.

Summary

Recreationally, this Indica-heavy marijuana is actually quite Sativa-like in her cerebral buzz, energizing and invigorating even the most lethargic of stoners into creativity and activity. But Skunk x Rosetta Stone Fast Version is still sure to soften the limbs and release tension from the muscles with a gentle, calming body-stone that’s courtesy of her truly excellent parentage.

Skunky with notes of earth and pine, this weed might be excellent for casual relaxation, but that’s also what makes her a great painkiller and muscle-relaxant, and as an MMJ she’s a great all-rounder. Psychological ailments such as stress, anxiety and depression become long forgotten with a joint of this weed, as she uplifts the mood to remove melancholy thoughts from the mind.

Blending excellent genetics from two fast-flowering, heavy-yielding and sticky strains, Skunk x Rosetta Stone exhibits a whole host of characteristics that make her a joy for experienced growers, and easy enough even for those who’ve never grown cannabis in their lives.

She’s resilient, hardy, can withstand minor errors and cooler climates, and requires only a little in the way of structure and training techniques to boost her yield to higher levels. Average maintenance of temperature and RH in the grow room is necessary, but expected with all strains - and she flowers in six weeks, so there’s not much to complain about.
