Super Purple Skunk Strain Overview
Super Purple Skunk is a predominantly indica cannabis strain that represents a modern refinement of classic skunk genetics with distinctive purple coloration. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain in cannabis breeding circles, but it appears to be a stabilized hybrid developed in the early 2000s by crossing established purple varieties with robust skunk genetics. Breeders sought to combine the visual appeal and sweet flavor profiles of purple strains with the reliable growth patterns and potent effects of skunk varieties, resulting in this balanced hybrid that leans heavily toward indica characteristics.
The strain is visually distinctive, with dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple hues, often with bright orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. The purple coloration typically becomes more pronounced as temperatures drop during the flowering phase, a trait inherited from its purple lineage. Super Purple Skunk produces a thick coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating its high cannabinoid content. The plant structure is typically compact and bushy, with strong lateral branching that supports multiple cola development.
Notable features of Super Purple Skunk include its complex aromatic profile that combines skunky, earthy base notes with sweet berry and grape undertones, along with occasional spicy or diesel accents. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and reliable performance in cultivation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Super Purple Skunk has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among enthusiasts who appreciate classic genetics with enhanced visual appeal and flavor complexity.

Super Purple Skunk Strain Growing Information
Super Purple Skunk is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is typically ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plant height is typically medium, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include temperature manipulation during flowering to enhance purple coloration (cooler nighttime temperatures around 15-18°C can intensify purple hues) and careful nutrient management as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding. Good air circulation is recommended to prevent mold in the dense buds.
