Super Skunk

Origin and genetics

Super Skunk is a cult favorite strain thanks to its much-loved skunky flavor profile and the stimulating, relaxing effects it offers. A child of the famous Skunk #1 and the renowned Afghani Indica, this strain boasts THC levels between 16% and 20%, 2.4% CBD, and 1% CBG. This hybrid joined the cannabis scene in the early 90s, and since then, it has built itself a stellar reputation as a go-to strain for recreational and medical consumers alike.

Its moderate potency makes it an ideal choice for novice and experienced consumers. This Indica dominant variety (80/20) is the perfect evening or nighttime choice for anyone looking

to relax and unwind from a long, tiresome day.

Flavor, aroma, and appearance

Super Skunk has a cheesy aroma with earthiness, skunkiness, and sweetness hints. The flavor profile is extensive, combining candy, citrus, earthy, and sweet undertones with a dominating skunky taste.

This hybrid has aesthetically appealing buds that boast dense nuggets with forest-green leaves. The pistols are short and orange. The whole bud is covered in a thick, shiny layer of trichomes.

Growing

The plant can be cultivated indoors or outdoors but is best grown in a controlled environment for two reasons. One, Super Skunk prefers high temperatures and humidity. It would thrive indoors where a grower can manipulate the environment to suit its demands.

Secondly, the strain emits a strong smell, especially during its flowering stage. To maintain discretion, an indoor setup would be best. Investing in a powerful air filtration system is recommended. Super Skunk is resistant to common abiotic and biotic factors. This strain flowers for 8-10 weeks and produces 500 grams/m². In an outdoor setup, the yield is 560 grams per plant.

Shortly after, a wave of relaxation takes over, leaving the consumer sedated and couch-locked. Tension and fatigue are melted away, and the munchies come knocking. The hybrid is a powerful sleep-inducing agent.

Medical benefits

Super Skunk is an ideal choice for patients with chronic stress, pain, anxiety, fatigue, focus issues, and appetite loss.
