How to grow Spider Skunk
Taste
Seb's take
Super Skunk #2 crossed with Black Domina, and with great skunk comes great responsibility — namely, a carbon filter. The pungent, unmistakably skunky smell hides a surprising note of fresh citrus underneath. Straightforward lineage, honestly presented, doing exactly what the name promises.
Where it comes from
Super Skunk #2 crossed with Black Domina by Hero Seeds - a seventy-five-per-cent indica that traces back, the record notes, through Super Skunk and Brazilian Skunk to that unmistakable family funk. Black Domina lends the weight and the resin; the Skunk side supplies the smell that gives the whole line its name. A straightforward, honestly-presented pedigree with no pretensions to mystery. The lineage does exactly what the label promises.
Nose & flavour
Pungent and unmistakably skunky - the smell the whole family is loved and feared for in equal measure - with a note of fresh citrus tucked behind the sharpness that hints at a fruity taste. A carbon filter is not a suggestion here so much as a necessity. Loud, sharp, and fruity underneath; she does not travel discreetly, and makes no apology for it.
The high
Nineteen to twenty-one per cent THC, and a seventy-five-per-cent indica, so expect the settling, relaxed end rather than a cerebral lift - the record commits no effects to paper, and I will not invent them. Take the strength and the indica dominance as the guide. A resinous Skunk-and-Domina cross of this weight tends toward the heavy and the restful; pace it accordingly, and keep the evening clear.
Growing it
The record is silent on flowering, height and yield alike, so I will describe temperament rather than manufacture numbers. A Super Skunk crossed with Black Domina is, by heritage, a hardy and resinous plant - Skunk resilience over indica density - which tends to make for a forgiving grow. The one certainty is the smell: budget for serious ventilation and a good filter from the outset. Beyond that, treat her as a robust indica and let her show you the specifics.
