What is the Super Sour Skunk strain?
Super Sour Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 15.0% THC, known for its happy effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Super Sour Skunk is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by HortiLab Seeds when an old school Super Skunk clone (pre-98) from Holland was pollinated by an East Coast Sour Diesel male (ECSDv3). The strain emerged in the late-1990s when Super Skunk, a popular strain among cannabis aficionados, was bred with East Coast Sour Diesel to create this new cannabis wonder. This sativa-dominant hybrid represents a cross between the infamous East Coast Sour Diesel and Super Skunk strains, combining the best characteristics of both legendary parents.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance and aroma profile. The buds are lumpy and dense with a popcorn shape, displaying dark olive green nugs with dark purple undertones and hairs, covered in a fine layer of crystal white trichomes and sweet sticky resin. Super Sour Skunk is best known for its smell, described as the perfect classic combination of both its parents – featuring an earthy skunky bouquet with a sharp lemony diesel aroma that's released as the bud is smoked. This strain harnesses powerful genetics from its parents, producing intriguing aromas and flavors with a smooth combination of sour citrus and earthy characteristics.
