What is the Super Skunk strain?
Super Skunk is an indica-dominant hybrid (about 80% indica) that Sensi Seeds bred by crossing Skunk #1 with an Afghan hash plant, released in 1990. The goal was a stronger, heavier-yielding Skunk #1, and the result flowers in a short 45 to 50 days. Leafly lists it around 16% THC and AllBud around 19%. Users describe a content, relaxed high that can turn couch-locking, with a skunky, earthy, slightly sweet aroma.
Ratio from Sensi Seeds' feminized listing. AllBud gives 65% indica, so some plants show more sativa influence.
Sensi Seeds gives Super Skunk a maximum flowering period of about 50 days, short for a high-yield photoperiod.

Where does the Super Skunk strain come from?
Super Skunk was bred by Sensi Seeds in the Netherlands, which crossed its Skunk #1 with a selected Afghan hash plant and released the final version in 1990. Sensi describes the aim as a stronger, heavier-yielding Skunk #1 that took the Skunk family back toward its Afghani roots, so the strain carries more indica weight than its parent.
Super Skunk picked up a Cannabis Cup soon after launch; SeedFinder records a 1990 win in the indica category and a third place in 1992. Because the name is now sold by many seed companies, versions differ. This page uses Sensi Seeds' figures as the reference, since Sensi bred the original and still sells feminized Super Skunk.
How is Super Skunk different from Skunk #1?
Super Skunk is more indica, faster and heavier than Skunk #1. Skunk #1 is a balanced hybrid of Afghani, Colombian and Mexican lines. Adding another dose of Afghan hash plant made Super Skunk shorter and stockier, cut flowering to around 45–50 days and gave a more relaxing effect, while keeping the famous skunk smell.
The smell is softer than the name suggests. Sensi describes Super Skunk's aroma as smoother and fruitier than most skunk strains, with earthy spice that builds near harvest and mellows after drying.

How do you grow Super Skunk seeds?
Super Skunk seeds are easy to grow: give the sturdy, uniform plants a short veg, flip to 12/12, and most finish in about 45 to 50 days, with a carbon filter handling the smell.
- Germinate2–7 days
Super Skunk seedlings come up strong and even. Keep the first weeks gentle on light and feed.
- Vegetate3–5 weeks indoors
Uniform, sturdy growth makes Super Skunk well suited to a Sea of Green with a short veg, or a SCROG with a longer one.
- Flower45–50 days
Height gain in bloom is average. The aroma builds strongly in the last few weeks.
- HarvestAbout 7 weeks indoors · mid October greenhouse
SeedFinder growers advise harvesting when the trichomes say so rather than strictly by the pack's day count.
Grow tips for Super Skunk
- Run it as a Sea of Green. Sensi notes Super Skunk's uniform, shorter build suits SOG, filling a tent with many quick, single-cola plants.
- Filter the air. Even with its fruitier profile, Super Skunk gets pungent near harvest; set up a carbon filter before week four of bloom.
- Watch dense buds for mold. The Afghan side packs tight flowers, so keep late-bloom humidity around 40–45% and avoid wet, cool nights outdoors.
- Give it sun outdoors. Sensi recommends warm, sunny, Mediterranean-style summers, where outdoor Super Skunk can grow into a small tree.
- Let the pack date guide you, not rule you. Some phenotypes need a few extra days beyond 50, so check trichomes before you chop.

Mikaela Gibson –
She’s just extremely helpful when my sleeplessness strikes, which happens sometimes! But to be honest, I don’t like her overpowering, skunky scent. Still, I’d suggest this strain! Absolutely worthwhile! It’s amazing how quickly she blossomed! After cultivating her indoors for only roughly six weeks, I was able to harvest her large crops. I love her sedative effect the best! This variety is incredible, and it produced a yield from the plant that I wasn’t anticipating! Wow, a solid 10/10!

I can’t believe how fast she flowered! In just about 6 weeks of growing her indoors I was able to harvest her heavy yields. Her sedating effect is my favorite! There are days when my insomnia will attack and she’s just really helpful! However I’m honestly not a fan of her pungent and skunky aroma. But I’d still recommend this strain! Definitely worth it!
