Aftermath Extracts – Lemon Skunk

Aftermath Extracts — Lemon Skunk

A Lemon Skunk shatter from Aftermath Extracts. Lemon Skunk is grown for its nose above all else: sharp citrus over the classic skunk base, one of the more recognisable profiles in cannabis, and the reason it keeps turning up in concentrates where terpene character survives the process.

Reading a shatter by eye

Shatter should be translucent and glassy. Clarity generally indicates a clean extraction and a thorough purge, while cloudiness usually means the extract has begun to nucleate — the cannabinoids crystallising out of the amber. Nucleation is not spoilage and it does not make a concentrate weaker; it simply changes the texture from a hard snap toward something softer and more sugar-like over time.

How to use it

Shatter is vaporised, not burned: a dab rig, an electronic rig, or a vaporiser rated for concentrates. Start with a far smaller amount than looks reasonable — concentrates are dramatically stronger by weight than flower, which is why they are sold by the gram.

Keeping the terpenes

With a citrus-forward extract like this one, storage is what preserves the reason you bought it. Terpenes are volatile and evaporate with warmth and air exposure. Keep it cold, keep the container closed, and portion it cold — warm shatter is sticky, hard to handle and loses aroma every time it sits open.
