Why Should You Smoke The Skywalker Cannabis Strain?

Looks

The nugs are sage yellow and come with hints of purple throughout. The moment you pick one up, you’ll notice how sticky it is, almost sugar-like. This is due to the vast number of trichomes present, which also helps it shine when light hits.

Qualities

It has a euphoric high that lasts quite a bit. As it dries down, you start to feel tingly, making you no longer want to move your body, just sit down and nap for hours.

Because of this, you’re better off using the Skywalker at the end of a busy day.

Who Is It More Suitable For?

If you’re someone who has to deal with heavy machinery or have to do tedious work, the Skywalker Strain is not for you as you’d be too out of your head to know what you’re doing.

If you have problems with mobility, the strain may not be the best for you either as you’d have an even harder time moving about due to its sedative effect.

What Do Growers Think Of The Skywalker Marijuana Strain?
