Super Skunk is an indica-dominant feminized strain, 80% indica and 20% sativa, with a smoother, fruitier aroma than most skunks and earthy, spicy notes from its Afghan side. A cross of Skunk #1 and an Afghan hash plant, it won the Mostly Indica category at the 1990 High Times Cannabis Cup. It is rated easy to grow and flowers in about 6 to 7 weeks.
History & lineage
Super Skunk came out of the late-1980s push to take Skunk #1 back to its Afghan roots. Sensi Seeds says its breeders crossed many Afghani cultivars with Skunk #1 before settling on the one that made the final version, which was released in 1990 and picked up the Mostly Indica Cup straight away; Wikipedia credits the strain to Nevil Schoenmakers, whose Seed Bank Sensi bought in 1991. Sensi describes it as a stronger, heavier-yielding version of Skunk #1, with genetics from a resinous Afghan hash plant.
Super Skunk won the Mostly Indica category at the 1990 High Times Cannabis Cup; High Times doesn’t name the entrant, but its history says The Seed Bank won that Cup. A Super Skunk entered by Holland Vijaya Seeds also placed 3rd at the 1992 High Times Cannabis Cup. Skunk #1, one of its parents, won the first High Times Cannabis Cup in 1988 (Cultivators’ Choice’s entry). Super Skunk has gone on to parent other strains, among them Green House Seeds’ Great White Shark, a cross with White Widow.
Aroma & flavour
Sensi describes a smoother, fruitier aroma than the usual pungent skunk, with earthy, spicy base notes from the Afghan parent that grow strong in flower. After curing the scent mellows, and the taste pairs citrus sweetness with warmer earthy notes. Leafly users most often report skunk, earthy and pungent flavours, followed by sweet and woody, and Leafly’s lab data lists caryophyllene as its most abundant terpene, ahead of limonene and humulene. Our terpene guide explains what each of those adds.
Effects, as users report them
These are Leafly users’ reports for Super Skunk as a strain, most common first, and Leafly describes bold, relaxing effects felt through the whole body. Sensi says most users describe a blend of uplifting contentment and relaxation, and its older description jokes that Super Skunk may take more experience to smoke than to grow. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the downsides users report most; smaller numbers report paranoia, dizziness or anxiety. Sensi gives no THC figure, and Leafly’s strain data puts Super Skunk at about 16%. Effects vary with the person and the dose, so if you are new to cannabis, start with a small amount.
Growing Super Skunk
Super Skunk is a feminized photoperiod plant: it stays in vegetative growth until the light drops to 12 hours a day indoors, or until the nights lengthen outdoors, then flowers for about 6 to 7 weeks, 50 days at most by Sensi’s count. That short bloom lets indoor growers fit two or even three harvests into a year, and our guide to fast-flowering strains covers what a short bloom does for your schedule. Outdoors it needs a warm, sunny climate with a long summer, such as the Mediterranean, and is ready around mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere; it also does well in a greenhouse.
Sensi calls it super easy to grow, and a good option for beginners. The plants grow sturdy and conical to about 120–150 cm (3.9–4.9 ft), with average stretch in flower, though outdoors in a long, warm summer they can reach the size of a small tree. Expect around 450–550 g/m² (1.5–1.8 oz/ft²) indoors and up to about 550 g (19 oz) per plant outdoors; Sensi notes it may need a little extra care to reach its full yield, and Leafly’s grow notes call it a medium to heavy feeder that responds well to topping. The crop comes up even, ready at the same time and the same height, which Sensi says suits a sea of green or a screen of green. The smell gets stronger as harvest nears, so plan for it indoors; our guide to controlling grow smell covers carbon filters and other options.

The Stank Tank Strikes Again
I was warned. People told me Super Skunk would be loud. I was not prepared. By week 6, my neighbor asked if something died in my walls. Nope, just dank. Buds came out frosty and fat, with that deep, funky cheese-meets-roadkill smell only skunk lovers understand. The high hits low and slow—makes your eyelids heavy and your snacks disappear. Perfect for end-of-day smoke when you’re done pretending to be productive. Super? Absolutely.
Nose Blinded and Loving It
Super Skunk does not mess around. As soon as this thing hit flower, my whole place smelled like someone punched a skunk with a sack of garlic. Grew fast, bushy, and chunky—super forgiving too. The smoke? Earthy, funky, and heavy. One bong hit and I forgot where my phone was… it was in my hand. Definitely not for stealthy smokers, but if you want flavor, stink, and a buzz that turns your brain into mashed potatoes, you found it.
