What strain is it? Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? Sensi Seeds - Super Skunk (5 regular seeds)
Taking the Skunk family back to its Afghani roots, Super Skunk adds flavour, weight and potency to the always-reliable Skunk #1. Despite being released three years after Shiva Skunk, Super Skunk qualifies as the first serious project to breed a next-level cannabis hybrid from the groundbreaking SK#1. Experimental Afghan-Skunk hybrids are featured in the very first Seed Bank catalogues and the breeding project aimed at finding the perfect Afghani genotype to match Skunk #1 goes back further still.
Throughout the Super Skunk project, Sensi breeders aimed to create a strain whose commercial potential, potency and hybrid vigour had never been seen before. Over the years, a large number of Afghani cultivars were crossed with both males and females of the true-breeding Skunk #1. Many wonderful plants were produced, though never with exactly the blend of qualities sought by the project. The achievements in cannabis hybridisation made in the late Eighties meant that the standards for professional ganja were steadily moving upwards which, naturally, raised the bar for what was expected from the Super Skunk program.
It was the expansion of the Sensi Seed Bank gene library at the end of that decade - in particular, the range of fresh Afghanica cultivars which became available to Sensi breeders — that made the current version of our Skunk-Afghani hybrid possible. In 1990, Super Skunk in its final form was released to great acclaim, picking up the mostly-Indica Cannabis Cup straight away.
Super Skunk's performance remains unchanged to this day, always living up to her super vigorous, super potent and super fragrant reputation. With just a little encouragement, females build colossal, crystalline colas indoors or in the greenhouse. Super Skunk bears the rare distinction of being one of the only cannabis strains that may require more experience to smoke than she does to grow!
Average height gain
Flowering: 45 - 50 days
Yield: Heavy Yield
80% Indica
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Started seeds germinating today at 11:20 A.M.
If in Veg... For how long? N/A.
If in Flower stage... For how long? N/A.
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor.
Soil or Hydro? Soilless mix.
If soil... what is in your mix? SSM#4 Advanced.
If soil... What size pot? 4" at first, then I'll transplant up to 2 gallon pots.
Size of lights? This will vary depending depending on open space, but CFL or fluorescent; maybe 250 watt Agrosun for veg (18/6) and 400 or 600 watt HPS for flower (11.5/12.5).
Is it aircooled? Yes.
Temp of Room/cab? around 80 degrees F.
RH of Room/cab? 43%.
PH of media or res? Don't check.
Any Pests ? Gnats.
How often are you watering? I expect to water and feed alternately one time a week each.
Type and strength of ferts used? To be determined.
The same order of seeds as this one left me with Skunk #1 auto (when I ordered Skunk #1), so I'll be watching these ones to make sure they didn't make the same mistake. I'll post pics when they pop up.

I just looked at Sensi Seeds website. Of their strains I've done G13 x Hash Plant, Jack Herer, and what I thought was Skunk #1 but turned out to be Skunk #1 auto. I didn't do well on the JH, and didn't like the auto. The G13 x Hash Plant was a nice plant.
