S.A.S
Also known as: S.A.S., Super Afghan Skunk
S.A.S Strain Overview
S.A.S., an acronym for Super Afghan Skunk, is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged from the crossbreeding of classic landrace genetics. The strain was developed by combining a robust Afghan indica with a Skunk #1 phenotype, resulting in a plant that exhibits the best characteristics of both parent lines. Its development is attributed to breeders seeking to create a strain with exceptional resin production and a balanced, powerful effect profile that maintains the distinctive skunky aroma while enhancing the physical relaxation associated with Afghan varieties.
The strain is characterized by dense, compact buds that are typically dark green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give it a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. S.A.S. plants tend to be relatively short and bushy with broad leaves, typical of indica-dominant genetics. The aroma is complex, combining earthy, skunky notes with subtle sweet undertones, while the flavor profile includes pungent, diesel-like elements with hints of spice and pine.
S.A.S. has gained recognition among cultivators for its resilience and relatively straightforward growing requirements, making it suitable for growers of various experience levels. The strain flowers relatively quickly compared to many pure indicas, typically producing moderate to high yields when grown under optimal conditions. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, S.A.S. maintains a dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its classic genetic heritage and consistent effects.

S.A.S Strain Growing Information
S.A.S. is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, dry climate with good airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds. Plants remain relatively short, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. S.A.S. responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants are relatively resistant to common pests and diseases but require careful monitoring during flowering due to the dense bud structure.
