Super Skunk Strain

The Super Skunk Strain is a little easier to grow than most other marijuana cultivars. Like all “Skunk” strains, the Super Skunk Strain tends to grow tall with a slender structure, making it well suited for indoor gardens but the Super Skunk Strain generally does well in outdoor gardens too.

The Super Skunk Strain grows well in cooler climates (i.e. Northern Europe, Northern California, Oregon, & British Colombia; Canada) that are both sunny and dry; so if you do plan to grow the Super Skunk Strain indoors, make sure to cycle the air inside your grow space every 5 minutes to prevent excessive humidity from accumulating in your grow space.

You should also always keep your lights about 24 inches from the top of your canopy.

The Super Skunk Strain is a particularly fast plant to grow and tends to be a heavy resin producer as well. It can handle high levels of nutrients better than most other strains and still performs well in warm environments. Part of the reason is that the Super Skunk Strain is also known for producing large waxy leaves that retain water and give the plant added resistance to molds & diseases.

The Super Skunk Strain responds well to pruning and other low-stress training (LST) techniques like topping, SCROG & SOG.

Due to its shorter flowering time, we recommend giving the Super Skunk Strain a longer veg so that the plant is robust enough to support the weight of the flowers.

The Super Skunk Strain performs better in larger containers. However, we still recommend starting the Super Skunk Strain in small containers and transplanting them into larger containers after about a month.

This extra step will help strengthen the roots and ultimately increase the overall yield at harvest.

Indoor growers should try to maintain a temperature of around 74 – 78 degrees Fahrenheit inside their grow space and keep the air circulating.

You can increase your yield, and the overall health of your plant, by allowing the substrate to almost dry out in between waterings. This measure will help encourage root growth and lead to a more vigorous final yield.

Always make sure to calibrate your pH meter properly, and always adjust the pH of your water so that the run-off water measures around 6.0.

Make sure to also allow adequate time for flushing to remove any residual mineral salts that may have accumulated during flowering.

We recommend that soil growers flush the Super Skunk Strain for 10 to 14 days prior to harvest and that hydroponic growers flush the Super Skunk Strain for 7 to 10 days prior to harvest.

In general, longer flushes tend to produce better flavors and aromas without decreasing yield.

Lastly, be patient. The Super Skunk Strain is a VERY resinous plant when the buds have the time to fully develop so make sure to monitor the trichomes closely under a 100x microscope and give them time to mature and start to turn amber before harvesting.

Be prepared for a big harvest too. In fact, it may be a good idea to reach out to some trusted friends and enlist their help during the trimming process to help speed things along. Take the time to cure your buds too. This step will enhance the Super Skunk Strain’s natural flavor.
