Afghan Skunk
Read the ride before you spark it
Afghan Skunk earns its DeePuff fit from 29% THC, a chill evening profile led by Myrcene, and effects that lean calmer and more body-forward.
This popular classic strain was originally developed in the United States to cross the pure indica genetics of an Afghani strain with the durable genes of Skunk plants. Afghan Skunk quickly spread to Amsterdam and beyond and is now considered one of the “classics.” Its resilient Skunk genes make this plant a popular recommendation for new growers, and its legendary high yields make it a favorite all around. Flowering happens around 8 weeks and the buds will have a menthol smell combined with the “sweet stink” skunks are known for. Tests have shown THC levels of about 17%, so the stink isn’t the only thing that’s potent about Afghan Skunk.

The aromatic compounds that define this strain's unique characteristics and effects
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
