Super Skunk Strain: Skunk #1 x Afghani

By · Published · Updated

Super Skunk Strain: Effects, Taste and Lineage
A note from Steven De Guzman

Break a Super Skunk bud and you should get loud skunk and warm earth, then pineapple and citrus on top, a sweet edge Sensi Seeds says sets it apart from garlicky, cheesy skunks. The buds are dense, so grind them fully before rolling.

What is Super Skunk?

Super Skunk crosses Skunk #1 with Afghani, according to Leafly, Weedmaps and AllBud. Sensi Seeds, which sells it under its White Label brand, says it launched in 1990 as one of the earliest takes on the original Skunk #1, combined with a premium Afghan cultivar to raise yield and potency and shorten flowering, and tags it a Cannabis Cup winner. Wikipedia says Sensi created White Label as a knockoff brand of its own products after other sellers copied its strain names.

Weedmaps traces the Skunk side to Sam Skunkman and his team at Sacred Seeds, who stabilized Skunk #1 before the seeds reached the Netherlands and the Sensi Seeds catalogue. On type, Leafly lists an indica and Sensi says 80% indica, while AllBud calls it a 65% indica hybrid and Weedmaps files it under hybrid.

Look, smell and taste

Sensi describes large, lime-green buds, and Weedmaps says the plants show indica traits, with dense, compact flowers on wide, medium-height bushes.

Leafly reviewers most often name skunk, pungent and earthy notes, and AllBud describes a strong, pungent skunk aroma with an earthy, skunky flavour. Sensi says its version sits on the sweet side of the skunk family, with warm earth and skunk under top notes of pineapple, tropical fruit and citrus rather than the garlicky, cheesy notes of other skunks. Leafly's lab data lists caryophyllene, limonene and humulene as the main terpenes.

Effects people report

Leafly rates Super Skunk as mostly calming, describing bold, relaxing effects felt through the whole body, and its reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, sleepy and hungry. AllBud describes a euphoric body buzz with a creative, carefree feel, and Sensi describes an uplifting high paired with deep relaxation. Some Leafly reviewers found it more energizing than they expected.

The negatives Leafly reviewers list most are dry mouth, dry eyes and paranoia, and AllBud also names dry mouth and bloodshot eyes as common. Start with a small amount, and do not drive for at least 6 hours after use, as Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise.

How strong is Super Skunk?

Leafly lists 16% THC and 1% CBG. AllBud puts THC around 19% but says results vary widely by batch and lab, with CBD estimates from 0.26% to 2.4%. Go by the label on each batch.

Similar strains

Its parents, Skunk #1 and Afghani, are also the two strains Weedmaps lists as most similar. Super Skunk has well-known offspring too: Leafly lists Lavender and Sour Diesel among its children, and Leafly's Strain of the Year 2025 nominee list describes Sour Diesel as a Chemdawg x Super Skunk cross that appeared on the East Coast in the 1990s. Our guide to legacy strains covers more classics from this era.
