Afghan Kush x Skunk
Afghan Kush x Skunk
Also known as: Afghan Kush x Super Skunk, Afgan Kush x Skunk
Overview
Afghan Kush x Skunk is a premium hybrid strain created by crossing the legendary Afghan Kush, a pure indica landrace from the Hindu Kush mountains, with Skunk #1, one of the most influential hybrid strains in cannabis history. This strain typically exhibits an 80% indica and 20% sativa dominance, combining the pure Afghani lineage and resilience of Afghan Kush with the balanced genetics and vigor of Skunk #1, which comprised Afghan, Mexican and Colombian genetics. The strain was created in Europe by Dutch seed banks, primarily located in Amsterdam's Red Light District.
The plant can reach up to 2 meters tall and is characterized by the density of its buds that are covered in beautiful resin glands. The buds are dense, resin-rich, and adorned with a thick layer of frosty trichomes, complemented by an earthy and pungent aroma infused with fruity and skunky notes. The strain delivers earthy, fruity, pungent, and skunk flavors, while the aroma begins with fruity notes combined with floral touches, then transitions to a sour dairy/Kush mix when consumed. With THC levels ranging from 18% to 20%, it provides moderate potency suitable for both recreational and medicinal users.

Growing Information
Thanks to its natural sturdiness due to its Afghan genetics, this strain can be grown in almost any setting and is resistant to cold weather, harsh environments, and most pests and diseases. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and produces yields of 400-500 grams per square meter (1.31-1.64 oz/ft²). Outdoor cultivation yields approximately 450 grams per plant (15 oz/plant), with some sources reporting up to 900 grams per plant. The strain ideally thrives in sunny, Mediterranean climates with temperatures ranging from 70-80°F (21-26°C). Humidity levels should be maintained at 50-60% during vegetative phase and reduced to 40-50% during flowering, with an 18-20 hour light schedule during vegetation transitioning to 12/12 during flowering. The plant is easy to grow and more or less grows itself, making it suitable for growers of all experience levels.
