Taking the Skunk family back to its Afghani roots, Super Skunk adds flavour, weight and potency to the always-reliable Skunk #1. Despite being released three years after Shiva Skunk, Super Skunk qualifies as the first serious project to breed a next-level cannabis hybrid from the groundbreaking SK#1. Experimental Afghan-Skunk hybrids are featured in the very first Seed Bank catalogues and the breeding project aimed at finding the perfect Afghani genotype to match Skunk #1 goes back further still.
Throughout the Super Skunk project, Sensi breeders aimed to create a strain whose commercial potential, potency and hybrid vigour had never been seen before. Over the years, a large number of Afghani cultivars were crossed with both males and females of the true-breeding Skunk #1. Many wonderful plants were produced, though never with exactly the blend of qualities sought by the project. The achievements in cannabis hybridisation made in the late Eighties meant that the standards for professional ganja were steadily moving upwards which, naturally, raised the bar for what was expected from the Super Skunk program.
It was the expansion of the Sensi Seed Bank gene library at the end of that decade - in particular, the range of fresh Afghanica cultivars which became available to Sensi breeders – that made the current version of our Skunk-Afghani hybrid possible. In 1990, Super Skunk in its final form was released to great acclaim, picking up the mostly-IndicaCannabis Cup straight away.
Super Skunk’s performance remains unchanged to this day, always living up to her super vigorous, super potent and super fragrant reputation. With just a little encouragement, females build colossal, crystalline colas indoors or in the greenhouse. Super Skunk bears the rare distinction of being one of the only cannabis strains that may require more experience to smoke than she does to grow!

Strain FAQ
How did Super Skunk influence other strains?
Many hybrids have been created using Super Skunk's steady genetics. Breeders hope to add Super Skunk's powerful features to new strains, broadening the cannabis landscape with new flavours and effects.
Why is Super Lemon Haze Cup-winning?
Known for its zesty scent and balanced high, Super Lemon Haze won two Cannabis Cups. The sativa-dominant hybrid Lemon Skunk x Super Silver Haze is known for its energising effects and lemony taste.
Can autoflowering genetics help short-flowering strains?
Autoflowering genetics are well known due to their ability to speed up the process by flowering plants according on age, not light. This makes these strains idea to attractive to beginners and those seeking an easy time.
Why are regular cannabis seeds seen as more genetically pure?
Regular cannabis seeds are a throwback to the plant's basic genetics without genetic alteration. These seeds are for cannabis lovers who celebrate the plant as nature intended!
Why is it reported that increased CO2 levels are useful?
It has been well reported that higher CO2 levels improve photosynthesis, and therefore enhances plant growth and yields. Some indoor enthusiasts reportedly increase CO2 to more than double what plants breathe in nature, enabling rapid growth.
