Very Skunk
Also known as: Super Skunk, Skunk #1 Hybrid
Very Skunk Strain Overview
Very Skunk is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern evolution of the classic Skunk #1 genetics, bred to enhance both potency and the distinctive skunky aroma that gives the strain its name. Developed through selective breeding, Very Skunk maintains the genetic backbone of its Skunk lineage while incorporating traits from other indica and sativa varieties to create a more balanced hybrid experience. The strain emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s as breeders sought to improve upon the original Skunk varieties that had become foundational to cannabis cultivation worldwide.
Visually, Very Skunk plants typically display dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The flowers are often medium to large in size, with a coloration ranging from deep forest green to lime green, frequently accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of their high cannabinoid content. The strain's most notable characteristic is its powerful aroma, which combines the classic skunky scent with undertones of earthiness and subtle sweetness.
Very Skunk has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its reliable effects and robust growth characteristics. While not as historically significant as its Skunk #1 ancestor, Very Skunk represents the continued refinement of cannabis genetics through selective breeding practices. The strain is particularly noted for its consistency in both effect profile and cultivation performance, making it a stable choice for growers seeking predictable results.

Very Skunk Strain Growing Information
Very Skunk is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield. Very Skunk responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
