Super Skunk is a certified crowd pleaser that has gained a solid fan base across the globe since its introduction in the 90s. Easy to grow and with a high yield, it can turn a stressful, hectic day into a mellow, chilled out night. By growing your own crop from Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s feminized seeds, you can have an all-year-round supply with minimal fuss.

A cross between two epic strains, this hybrid's parents are none other than Afghani and Skunk #1. The distinguished lineage sets high hopes indeed and the great news is that Super Skunk doesn't only live up to the hype – it exceeds it on pretty much every level.

Stronger and more flavorful than its parents, smokers are advised to go easy on this joint. Even the most hardcore stoners are no match for this super puncher. Should newbies decide to try it, they must do so one small toke at a time. A single puff could be more than enough to knock them for six.

Super Skunk causes a solid couch-lock accompanied by a state of mental bliss that will have people smiling at the ceiling for hours. Operating heavy machinery, driving, or doing anything physically active after smoking it is a major no-no.

Growing Super Skunk from Feminized Seeds

Loved by cultivators the world over, Super Skunk is a pleasure to grow. It's a resilient and hardy plant that even novice growers can easily take care of, and its high flower to leaf ratio means bigger harvests and less pruning. With feminized seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co., you can enjoy an all-female batch and a hefty yield.

The sturdy branches grip huge, light-emerald nugs covered in thick trichomes and pale orange pistils. Although sparse, its foliage is a beautiful, vivid green. Even without much TLC, it blooms quickly and produces top quality buds.

Best grown indoors, this superstar thrives well in a controlled setup. Growers often use SOG to achieve best results, and proper ventilation and light management are essential. After 8 to 9 weeks of flowering, it produces a yield of 1.3 – 1.6 ounces per square foot.

The plant's favorite place to grow is outside, under the sun's rays. Growers may need to look for an isolated spot and try guerilla growing, since its strong odor may attract unwanted attention.

For growers in northern areas, harvest must take place in late September to early October. It must not go beyond this as freezing weather and frosts will cause issues. If all goes well, an abundant yield of up to 21 ounces per plant will be ready for drying and curing.

Fragrance and Flavor

Super Skunk's heavy, pungent smell is instantly recognizable, and its strong, ammonia-like aroma lingers long after the bud is lit. Smokers describe it as cheesy with notes of wood and sweet undertones.

Despite having what newbies would consider a real stench, its taste is surprisingly pleasant. Although strong, each toke comes with a sweet, refreshing citrus flavor and a spicy, earthy sapidity. Bursting with flavors, this strain is a must-try for epicureans.

Effects

Thanks to its high Indica content, Super Skunk is most definitely not for the faint of heart. Even seasoned smokers should take it in careful moderation because of its powerful knockout punch. Great for a night of relaxation, a peaceful smoke out session will almost inevitably put you sound asleep after a few hours.

At first, this potent beast gives a long-lasting euphoric high that will plaster a smile across your face as the joyous thoughts come flooding in. The boost in mental clarity is great for problem solving, evaluating and thinking about the meaning of life.

Shortly afterwards, the full physical high comes creeping in from the neck down, and it's unstoppable once it manifests. It accelerates as the seconds pass by, as if racing to cover every inch of the body. Like metal melting in a furnace, smokers will soften onto the couch and feel its inescapable, warm embrace.

Known as a stress buster, this herb is awesome for capping off a stressful day at work. After hours of loosening up and unwinding, the trip will ultimately end at the gates of Never Never Land. A perfect end to a hectic day, its sedating effect is also the best way to welcome tomorrow.

As is the case with most other strains, Super Skunk may bring some adverse effects. One of the most common is dry, bloodshot eyes, which can be avoided by using over-the-counter eye drops. Cottonmouth is another common discomfort so make sure you consume lots of fluids before, during and after the session. Keeping a bag of chips or other food close to hand is important too, as Super Skunk tends to give people the munchies.

Inexperienced smokers should steer clear of this strain, as should those with sensitivity to THC. In some cases, it may cause dizziness and headaches, as well as more serious reactions such as paranoia and anxiety.

Medical

Aside from being a joy to smoke recreationally, Super Skunk has made a name for itself in the medical field too. It's all-organic and effective to use, and is said to be a useful tool for the treatment of several mental and physical ailments.

Patients struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD and stress have turned to Super Skunk for help. Just a puff or two may induce a peaceful mindset, releasing tension from the body and providing a couple of worry-free hours.

Super Skunk is also potentially valuable for cancer patients, since it may help increase the appetite as well as soothing nausea. Insomniacs, too, may choose to enjoy the plant's soaring mental flight and calming effects before taking a deep, long snooze. Sometimes, just a few tokes are enough to send them straight to dreamland.

Super Skunk is also said to be pretty impressive when it comes to easing chronic physical discomforts. It's favored by people with eye pressure, muscle spasms and migraines. With its potential tranquilizing and anti-inflammatory properties, pain may begin to fade within minutes.
