Super Skunk Automatic
Also known as: Super Skunk Auto, Auto Super Skunk
Super Skunk Automatic Strain Overview
Super Skunk Automatic is an autoflowering variant of the classic Super Skunk strain, developed to combine the robust genetics of the original with the convenience of automatic flowering. The strain originated from Sensi Seeds' breeding program in the Netherlands during the 1990s, where breeders crossed an Afghani indica with a Skunk #1 to create the original Super Skunk. The automatic version emerged later through selective breeding with ruderalis genetics, allowing the plant to flower based on age rather than light cycles. This adaptation made it particularly appealing to novice growers and those seeking quicker harvests.
Super Skunk Automatic plants typically display the characteristic indica structure with broad, dark green leaves and dense, resinous buds. The flowers often develop a frosty coating of trichomes and exhibit deep purple hues in cooler temperatures. The strain maintains the signature pungent aroma of its parent, though with slightly less intensity. Notable features include its compact size (usually 60-100 cm), rapid life cycle (8-10 weeks from seed to harvest), and resilience to common growing challenges, making it suitable for various cultivation environments.
The strain's effects generally follow its indica-dominant heritage, though the automatic flowering trait doesn't significantly alter the psychoactive profile. Users should note that while autoflowering strains offer cultivation advantages, they may produce slightly lower yields than their photoperiod counterparts. The development of Super Skunk Automatic represents a significant milestone in cannabis breeding, demonstrating how traditional genetics can be adapted for modern growing preferences while maintaining core characteristics.

Super Skunk Automatic Strain Growing Information
Super Skunk Automatic is considered easy to grow, making it suitable for beginners. The flowering time is approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Indoor plants typically yield 300-400 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 30-60 grams per plant. The strain thrives both indoors and outdoors, preferring a mild to warm climate (18-26°C) with moderate humidity. Plant height usually ranges from 60-100 cm indoors and 80-120 cm outdoors. Special considerations include: the autoflowering trait means plants don't require light cycle changes; they benefit from minimal transplanting (direct sowing recommended); and they're relatively resistant to pests and mold. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding.
