Strain Overview
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (80% Indica / 20% Sativa)
Breeder: Sensi Seeds (Original Creator) / Vintage Clone-Only Cut
Lineage: Skunk #1 x Afghani Hash Plant
Market Status: The "Roadkill Legend"; 1994 Super Skunk is a ghost from a bygone era. While "Super Skunk" seeds can still be bought today, the specific 1994 vintage phenotype refers to the original, high-sulfur cut that dominated the Amsterdam coffee shops and the underground US market in the mid-90s. It is famous for one thing above all else: the smell. Unlike modern "Sweet Skunks," this cut possesses the authentic, eye-watering "Roadkill" aroma—a mix of sulfur, ammonia, and burnt rubber—that many veterans claim has disappeared from the modern gene pool. It is the genetic backbone of Ethos Genetics' Grandpa's Stash.
THC Content: Moderate to High (18% – 22% - High for the 90s)
Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Skatole (Sulfur compounds)
Key Effects: Heavy "Stoney" Relaxation, Happy Euphoria, Intense Munchies, Deep Sleep
1994 Super Skunk is the reason you double-bag your stash.
It represents the pinnacle of Dutch breeding before the "Sweet/Fruity" revolution took over. It is aggressive, loud, and offensive in the best way possible. It smells like a chemical spill in a pine forest, delivering a high that is physically crushing and mentally pacifying.
History and Lineage: The Cannabis Cup Champion
To understand this strain, you must understand the climate of 1990s cannabis.
The Original (Skunk #1): The first true stable hybrid. While revolutionary, breeders wanted to increase the density and the "Indica" punch.
The Upgrade: Sensi Seeds crossed Skunk #1 with a pure, resinous Afghani Hash Plant. The result was Super Skunk.
The 1994 Cut: This specific year is significant because it represents the era when Super Skunk was winning High Times Cannabis Cups and cementing its reputation. The "1994" cut used in Grandpa's Stash is a preserved clone from this golden age, selected for its extreme pungency and mold resistance. It captures the exact moment when Skunk became "Super."
Terpene Profile: Roadkill and Ammonia
The defining characteristic of the 1994 Super Skunk is its volatility. It contains high levels of thiols (sulfur compounds), which are responsible for the skunk-spray smell.
Dominant Terpenes
Skatole/Thiols (The Funk): While not technically terpenes, these sulfurous compounds are the stars here. They provide the distinct burnt rubber, skunk spray, and rotten egg aroma that defines "Roadkill Skunk."
Myrcene (The Earth): High levels of Myrcene provide a damp, musky, and herbal base. It smells like wet soil after a rainstorm.
Pinene (The Sharpness): Inherited from the Skunk #1, this adds a sharp pine cleaner and chemical note that cuts through the heavy musk.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is room-clearing. It smells of acrid skunk spray, ammonia, coffee grounds, and pine.
The Smoke: Thick and pungent. It tastes of earthy spice and savory cheese on the inhale, with a chemical, gassy finish on the exhale.
Strain Effects: The Classic "Stoned"
This is not a functional high. This is "listening to the same CD on repeat" weed.
The Experience
The Heaviness: The high sets in almost instantly with a feeling of heavy gravity. Your eyelids droop, and your limbs feel like lead.
The Euphoria: Despite the sedation, there is a strong mood elevation. You feel content, safe, and happy. It is the ultimate "comfort" strain.
The Hunger: It is legendary for inducing the munchies. Food becomes the most important thing in the world.
The Sedation: As the high wears off, it leads naturally into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Best For: Insomnia, appetite stimulation, chronic pain, stress relief, and watching 90s movies.
Growing 1994 Super Skunk: The Odor Offender
This strain was bred for commercial reliability in the Dutch climate, making it incredibly tough.
Growth Structure
The Smell: Critical Warning. You cannot grow this plant without a carbon filter. It begins to smell in the vegetative stage. The odor sticks to clothes and hair.
The Vigor: High. It grows with the classic "Hybrid Vigor." It is robust, forgiving, and recovers quickly from stress.
The Structure: Short and Bushy. It stays relatively low, making it easy to manage indoors. It produces thick, heavy colas that are resistant to mold (a trait bred for the damp Netherlands weather).
The Yield: High. It is a heavy producer. The buds are dense and chunky.
The Time: It is a fast finisher, often ready in 7 to 8 weeks.
Grower’s Tip: This strain loves Nitrogen in the vegetative stage. It grows fast and green. In flower, ensure you have massive airflow. While it is mold resistant, the sheer density of the buds can trap moisture if humidity isn't controlled.
Final Verdict: The Original Funk
1994 Super Skunk is a time machine. It takes you back to an era when weed was judged by how much it stank, not how purple it was. It offers a terpene profile that is nearly extinct in the modern market—pure, offensive, sulfurous skunk—and a high that defines the word "stoned." If you are tired of fruit and cake and want to smoke something that puts hair on your chest, find the Super Skunk.
You should seek out 1994 Super Skunk genetics if:
You miss "Roadkill" Skunk.
You need Intense Appetite Stimulation.
You want a Fast, Mold-Resistant Plant.
You love "Old School" Potency.
