# Super Skunk

Super Skunk is a Skunk-family upgrade story from late-1980s and early-1990s seed-catalog culture, commonly described as amplifying Skunk aroma and broadleaf influence for European and North American growers. It remains a teaching example of how foundation hybrids were remixed rather than replaced when commercial seed companies sought louder, more stable offerings.

Commonly published parentage lists Skunk #1 × Afghani. Records conflict among later remakes that reuse the Super Skunk name with different Afghan or Skunk selections. Treat each seed company's pack as its own documented cross when notes exist; otherwise keep parents Unknown instead of copying the classic model blindly.

Why it mattered: Super Skunk kept Skunk branding commercially loud into the 1990s and fed further European hybrid programs that still echo on modern menus. Live Skunk relatives include [Skunk #1](/strain/skunk-1), [Critical Mass](/strain/critical-mass) (Skunk-influenced), and landrace context [Afghani](/strain/afghani). Haze or Jack pages may cite Skunk ingredients separately—verify those claims per page.

Terpene names often mentioned include [Myrcene](/terpene/Myrcene), [Caryophyllene](/terpene/Caryophyllene), [Humulene](/terpene/Humulene), [Pinene](/terpene/Pinene), and [Ocimene](/terpene/Ocimene). No invented percentages. See the Skunk family essay for the Afghani × Colombian × Mexican teaching model behind Skunk #1.

Love The Plant keeps this entry educational: origin notes, published parent models, why the line mattered historically, linked relatives on the live strain list, and terpene names for aroma literacy. No medical claims, no invented lab percentages, and no forced pedigree where sources disagree—Unknown remains a valid and preferred label.
