Silver Skunk
Also known as: Maple Ridge Blueberry, The Viper
What is the Silver Skunk strain?
Silver Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and earthy and fruity flavor profile.
Silver Skunk is an indica dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing the potent Super Skunk X Afghani #1 strains. However, conflicting sources suggest different genetic backgrounds, with some indicating genetics of Super Silver Haze and Skunk #1, and another breeder offering a version that is silver pearl x old skunk. This discrepancy suggests multiple strains may share the Silver Skunk name from different breeders.
When it comes to flavor and effects, this bud is an instant classic. Silver Skunk packs a sweet and spicy fruity earth flavor that has a light and mellow hint of flowery skunk upon exhale. The aroma is pretty mellow in nature, too, with a flowery skunky overtone that's accented by fruity earth and rich pine. This bud has gorgeous grape-shaped olive green nugs spattered with lovely thin clear amber-tinted hairs and coated in sparkling amber crystal trichomes. The strain represents a modern take on classic Skunk genetics, offering the potency and relaxation associated with indica-dominant hybrids while maintaining some of the uplifting qualities from its sativa lineage.
