The Super Skunk is a hybrid of the Skunk No.1 and Afghani cannabis strain. Initially developed by Sensi Seeds in the 1990s, these feminised seeds are predominantly Indica and the perfect balance between flavor, aroma, and high. The Super Skunk is a very resilient plant; being resistant to pests, mold, and mildew. This strain reportedly performs best in a warm and dry climate.
Super Skunk emits a unique aroma not meant for the faint of heart. Her perfume is pungent and sweet. Some describe it as aging blue cheese with sharp notes of fruit and pine sweetness. Although she radiates a strong and intense aroma, the flavor profile is somewhat sweet and subtle. Online forum users report a rich earthy yet sugary flavor, almost similar to a bag of delicious candies.
Perhaps the most distinctive feature about this cannabis strain is not just its aroma, but the effect that this strain is known to have. Super Skunk reportedly leads to a cerebral head high, making the mind feel more relaxed and amused. Although the high is more cerebral, the body might feel more comfortable and numb.
