Super Skunk Kush is a feminised indica-dominant cannabis seed from Garden of Green that crosses a pure Kush cultivar with an elite Super Skunk clone, delivering 20–25% THC, an 8–9 week flowering time, and indoor yields of 450–550 g/m². If you've grown Skunk before and wished it hit harder, this is the upgrade.
Why Super Skunk Kush Earns Its Spot in the Tent
Super Skunk Kush is what happens when Garden of Green take the old-school Skunk pheno — spicy, pungent, reliable — and fold it into a pure Kush backbone for a heavier indica lean. The result is a feminised hybrid that keeps the easy-grow reputation of classic Skunk but punches in the 20–25% THC range. For growers who want the Kush experience without waiting 10+ weeks, this is the shortcut.
We've seen a lot of Skunk crosses come through the shop since 1999, and the ones that stick around share one thing: they don't punish beginners. Super Skunk Kush flowers uniformly, stays compact, and forgives the odd pH wobble. You still need to feed and vent her properly, but she's not a prima donna.
Which Pack Size?
| Pack | SKU | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 3 seeds | CSGG0053 | Testing the strain or a single small tent run |
| 5 seeds | CSGG0054 | Filling an 80x80 or 100x100 tent with a buffer seed in case of a dud |
If you're running your first Kush and want to keep the investment tight, grab the 3-pack. If you're planning a proper run in a larger tent, the 5-pack gives you one spare.
Genetics, Yield and Flowering Time
Super Skunk Kush is an indica-dominant feminised hybrid with 20–25% THC and a flowering time of 8–9 weeks — short for a Kush, which typically drags toward 10. The pure Kush parent brings the earthy, hashy depth; the elite Super Skunk clone brings the pungent spice and the vigour.

Aroma, Flavour and Reported Effects
Super Skunk Kush has the classic spicy-pungent Skunk profile riding on top of the hashy, earthy Kush base — the kind of smell that announces itself the moment you open the jar. According to research on consumer strain perception (Gilbert & DiVerdi, 2018, PMC5798829), regular cannabis users do reliably distinguish strain clusters by aroma, and the Skunk/Kush axis is one of the most consistently identified.
Garden of Green describe the reported effect as an initial head-lift that settles into a full-body stone. Research on high-THC cultivars suggests that strains above the 20% THC mark produce more pronounced sedative and physical effects than lower-THC varieties (Morgan et al., 2012, PMC3736954). With Super Skunk Kush sitting in the 20–25% range, it's firmly in that category — start low if you're not used to strong flower.
Growing Super Skunk Kush Indoors and Outdoors
Super Skunk Kush is beginner-friendly but rewards technique. Indoors she stays compact with a uniform bud structure, which makes her ideal for SOG (Sea of Green) setups or a simple topping strategy in an 80x80 or 100x100 tent. Outdoors, with space to stretch, she'll push 500–800g per plant in a proper Mediterranean-style summer.
- Germinate using the paper-towel method or direct-to-soil in a small starter pot. Keep at 22–25°C with high humidity.
- Veg for 3–4 weeks under 18/6 light. Top once around node 5 if you want an even canopy.
- Flip to 12/12 and expect a modest stretch — she doubles at most, unlike sativa-leaning hybrids.
- Feed moderately. Kush genetics don't love heavy nitrogen; taper into bloom nutes from week 2 of flower.
- Watch the spice build from week 4 onward — run a carbon filter unless you enjoy awkward conversations with neighbours.
- Harvest at 8–9 weeks when 70–80% of pistils have darkened and trichomes are mostly cloudy with a few ambers.
- Dry slowly at 18°C / 60% RH for 10–14 days, then cure in jars for a minimum of 3 weeks. The spicy notes bloom hard in the cure.
Honest Limitations — What to Watch For
Two things to know before you germinate. First, the smell. "Super Skunk" is not marketing fluff — from mid-flower onward this plant stinks in the best possible way, and a carbon filter isn't optional if you're growing somewhere with shared walls or nosy neighbours. Second, the THC ceiling. At 20–25%, this is not a casual afternoon smoke. New tolerance? Roll smaller than you think you need.
She's also compact, which is a plus for stealth but means you won't get towering colas without training. If you want a yield monster over pure potency, a sativa-leaning Skunk cross will out-produce her on weight — but won't match her on the stone.
Complete your setup: pair Super Skunk Kush with a Garden of Green Ultimate Feminized Mix if you want to trial a few phenotypes alongside her, and grab a carbon filter kit before week 4 of flowering — you'll need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Super Skunk Kush take to flower?
8–9 weeks indoors under a 12/12 photoperiod. Outdoors she's ready around early-to-mid October in the Northern Hemisphere. That's fast for a Kush-heavy hybrid — most pure Kush strains push past 10 weeks.
Is Super Skunk Kush suitable for beginners?
Yes. She's compact, uniform, and forgiving of small feeding or pH mistakes — typical Skunk-lineage traits. Beginners should still run a carbon filter and keep an eye on humidity in late flower to avoid bud rot on the denser colas.
What does Super Skunk Kush taste and smell like?
Spicy, pungent Skunk up front with an earthy, hashy Kush base underneath. The aroma intensifies through flowering and deepens in the cure. Research on cannabis aroma clusters (Gilbert & DiVerdi, 2018) confirms Skunk and Kush families sit in distinct, reliably identifiable scent groups.
What yield can I expect from Super Skunk Kush?
Garden of Green list 450–550 g/m² indoors and 500–800g per plant outdoors. Indoor numbers assume proper lighting (around 400–600W of LED per m²) and decent training. Outdoor yields depend heavily on pot size and climate.
How strong is Super Skunk Kush?
Very. THC sits between 20–25%, which places her in the high-potency band. Research on high-THC cannabis (Morgan et al., 2012) suggests stronger sedative and physical effects at this level. If you're new to concentrated flower, start with a small amount and wait 15 minutes before deciding whether to redose.
Does Super Skunk Kush need special nutrients?
No — standard cannabis nutrients work fine. Kush genetics prefer moderate nitrogen in veg and a clean bloom feed with extra phosphorus and potassium from week 2 of flower. Flush the final 10–14 days to sharpen the flavour profile.
