History and genetics of Shiva Skunk Feminized
Shiva Skunk was an instant hit when released as NL#5xSK#1 in 1987. That simple string of letters and numbers instantly grabbed the attention of any grower who recognised the two famous parents. NL#5xSK#1 offered growers a taste of 'cannabis cubed' – a super-hybrid embodying the two most powerful cannabis strains known at the time. Before being formally named, Shiva Skunk was already building a reputation as the next step in marihuana breeding.
Both parents influence the prolific bud structure and knock-down potency of this strain. Later in flowering, Shiva Skunk's buds bulk up sharply and become encrusted with a trademark layer of oversized trichomes, courtesy of the one and only Northern Lights #5. Remarkable hybrid vigour allows Shiva Skunk to out-perform even its distinguished parents for yield and resin content.
Aroma and effect
Bouquet is musky and dank with sweet-citrus undertones; smoke is thick and resinous, described as 'creamy' by fans, sometimes 'oily' or 'heavy' by novices. Shiva Skunk's extra strong body-mind effects range from red-eyed and giggly to adventurous to deeply contemplative. This is not a smoke to be taken lightly – remember that Lord Shiva's primary title is The Destroyer!
