The name of this legendary hybrid truly reflects its status as super popular, super resilient, super adaptable, super potent and, of course, super skunky. It's like a wild skunk on steroids! While many may find the aroma and flavor of this strain to be extravagant, the effects will be unforgettable for users of all tolerance levels.
Genetics and Characteristics
Super Skunk (Skunk #1 x Afghani) is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (80/20) hybrid with a high THC content of up to 24%. Its genetics combine indica and sativa landraces native to Afghanistan, Mexico, and Colombia. Growers and stoners, pay respect! You're looking at a legend, a representative of old-school breeding, a strain with a rich lineage, a proud member of the Skunk family whose history goes back centuries and became an award-winning modern classic in the late 1970s.
The plant features a hybrid, compact structure, lush foliage, well-developed branches with short internodes, producing large and dense, dark-green colas covered with a thick layer of resinous and highly fragrant trichomes. Indoors, the hybrid goes through the flowering phase in just 6-7 weeks. As for yields, you can expect around 450-500 g/m2 (16-18 oz) indoors and an impressive 600-800 g (21-28 oz) from a single plant outdoors.
Flavor and Aroma
Along with the dominant and extravagant musky opening, you can expect a tantalizing blend of ripe fruits, whipped cream, and refreshing citrus, mixed with pungent notes of spices, pine, hashish, and sweet earthiness on exhalation.
Recreational and Medicinal Use
The psychoactive component of Super Skunk is like a rocket, launching you into the stratosphere in a matter of minutes. Brace yourself for a powerful sativa punch with a cerebral aspect that ramps up the electrifying buzz. Once you reach orbit, gravity will lose its relevance. You'll be enveloped in a weightless euphoria that relaxes the body and mind and induces a serene and meditative state of consciousness.
The therapeutic effects of the hybrid are attributed not only to its broad terpene profile, but also to medicinal CBD (2%) and CBG (1.2%), which can quickly and effectively relieve pain and muscle spasms, gently reduce stress, depression and anxiety, improve appetite and promote sleep quality.
Cultivation
Growing Super Skunk is a real game changer that will completely change your conventional perception of growing. This hybrid is incredibly versatile, adaptable, and resilient whether you're growing it indoors or letting nature take care of it outdoors. With its stable genetics, you can expect a low-maintenance, easy-going strain, and its wide range of flavonoids and ironclad immunity will serve as reliable protection against pests and pathogens. If you choose to grow it outdoors, be sure to provide it with nutritious soil that contains drainage components and mycorrhizae. Looking for safety and discretion? Find a location with surrounding vegetation to shield your grow from wind gusts and prying eyes, while tying techniques during the vegetative stage will form a compact and squat profile of the plant.
Indoors, monitor the optimal environmental parameters at all stages of plant development, paying particular attention to relative humidity levels during the flowering phase. Ensure proper air exchange and ventilation. Make sure you have a working exhaust system equipped with a heavy-duty carbon filter with the option to change cartridges, as Super Skunk won't just smell, it will literally overwhelm you with its intense aroma.
If you are looking for the best yields, install full-spectrum LED lights and create a flat canopy to maximize light efficiency. You can use the following training techniques: LST during the vegetative stage and SoG during flowering.
