Super Skunk Special
Also known as: Super Skunk S1, Super Skunk Special Edition
Super Skunk Special Strain Overview
Super Skunk Special is a stabilized and enhanced version of the classic Super Skunk strain, developed through selective breeding to emphasize its most desirable traits. This indica-dominant hybrid traces its origins to the late 1980s and early 1990s when Sensi Seeds first created the original Super Skunk by crossing Skunk #1 with an Afghani landrace strain. The 'Special' designation typically indicates a phenotype selection or breeding project that has refined the strain's characteristics, though specific breeding details for this particular version are not widely documented in public sources.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance featuring dark green leaves often accented with purple hues and a thick coating of trichomes. The flowers emit a powerful aroma that combines the classic skunky scent with sweet, earthy undertones and hints of citrus. Super Skunk Special maintains the robust growth patterns and high resin production of its predecessors while potentially offering more consistent effects and flavor profiles through stabilization efforts.
Notable features include its relatively short flowering time and resilience to common growing challenges, making it popular among cultivators seeking reliable results. The strain has maintained popularity in European markets particularly, where it has been cultivated and refined by various breeders over decades. While not as widely documented as the original Super Skunk, this special version represents the ongoing evolution of classic cannabis genetics through careful selection and breeding practices.

Super Skunk Special Strain Growing Information
Super Skunk Special is considered a moderate difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. It has a flowering time of 7-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plant typically grows to a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can reach 180-220 cm outdoors. It produces high yields of dense, resinous buds with indoor yields averaging 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor yields of 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain grows well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. It responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) and has good resistance to mold and pests compared to many other indica varieties. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity during flowering to prevent bud rot and providing adequate support for the heavy colas.
