Shiva Skunk

Beschreibung von Sensi Seeds

Origin and Background

The most powerful member of the Skunk family and one of the most potent Indica-dominant strains ever made, this special hybrid was named in honor of the Hindu god Shiva, the Lord of Bhang. Shiva Skunk seeds were an instant hit when released in 1987 as NL#5 x Sk#1. This working title intrigued growers familiar with the two famous parent plants. A new cannabis strain combining distinct and stable genotypes is always a noteworthy event, and that particular string of letters indicated something extraordinary.

Before being formally named, Shiva Skunk was already building a reputation as the next step in marijuana breeding. Sensi Seeds has since taken Shiva Skunk one step further, releasing it as a uniform, reliable, all-female variety. Both parents influence the prolific bud structure and knock-down potency of feminized Shiva Skunk seeds.

Characteristics and Effects

Later in flowering, her buds greatly increase their mass and density and become encrusted with a trademark layer of oversized resin glands, courtesy of the one and only Northern Lights #5. Remarkable hybrid vigour allows feminized Shiva Skunk to out-perform even its distinguished parents in terms of yield and resin content.

Bouquet is musky and dank with sweet-citrus undertones. Smoke is thick, expansive, and resinous, described as "creamy" by veterans, sometimes as "oily" or "heavy" by novices. Shiva Skunk’s extreme body-mind potency can have a range of different effects in smokers, making them red-eyed and giggly, or deeply contemplative, or even filling them with energy and a desire for adventure.

This is not a smoke to be taken lightly. Remember that Lord Shiva’s primary title is The Destroyer!
