The Super Skunk strain was one of the first serious attempts to develop a next generation cannabis hybrid. By crossing the revolutionary Skunk #1 with a classic, purebred, very resinous Afghan Hash Plant. Super Skunk was introduced in 1990 to great acclaim and went on to win the mainly indica Cannabis Cup. Reliable all-round performance makes Super Skunk one of the most popular strains for commercial and gourmet growers alike. Super Skunk definitely lives up to her reputation of 'super-powerful, super-potent and super-aromatic'. With very little assistance, females produce colossal, crystal-covered colas indoors, in the greenhouse, and outdoors in warmer, sunnier climates. Super Skunk has the rare distinction of being one of the few cannabis strains that requires more experience to smoke than to grow!
With its short flowering time and robustness, the popularity of this cannabis strain among growers of any experience level is not at all surprising. It is a good choice for anyone who wants large harvests of trichome-covered buds without much effort.
White Label Super Skunk is 80% indica. As with other indica-dominant varieties, the plants are vigorous and strong, with thick stems and branches. They produce large, lush buds.
The plant's main flower spike can occupy the upper stem if left to its own devices. This means the strain is well suited for methods such as trimming, fimming, pinching or topping. This provides for multiple stems. More experienced growers can also optimize with lollipopping, Sea of Green (SOG) and Screen of Green (SCROG).
The plants are average in size and have a short flowering time (about 45 to 50 days), which will be surprising given the lush yields and dense, thick buds. This is due to the Afghan heritage, which was grown with the original Skunk strain to emphasize the indica elements. Novice growers can get good results from this strain and experienced growers can definitely use the full potential of the plants.
This strain is suitable for indoor growing (typical for a Skunk variety). However, it is possible to grow the plants outdoors (in a climate with warm, long summers).
Super Skunk thrives in pots where it will grow large and bushy outdoors or indoors under lights. However, in outdoor grow beds, it will reach a much greater growth height.
Many customers recommend giving the harvested buds enough time to cure. This will ensure that they can reach their full flavor potential. When consumed, Super Skunk offers an intense relaxing effect that relieves stress and relaxes muscles. It is the perfect strain for the evening, as it also provides exuberance and fun.
