Shiva Skunk

One of Sensi Seeds’ true masterpieces is the Shiva Skunk strain of cannabis, an Indica-dominant strain created by combining Northern Lights No. 5 and Skunk No. 1. Because this strain is so good at destroying stress, they named it after the Hindu God that destroys evil. Shiva Skunk provides the experience of being happy, relaxed, and sleepy all at once. The first effects are cerebral, promoting a clear, focused state of mind that allows creativity to flow. The physical effects also hit quickly, causing some to feel stoned almost immediately. Shiva Skunk is therapeutic and is extremely effective at fighting insomnia. In addition, its analgesic effects can relieve chronic pain, glaucoma, and headaches. By helping stress disappear, many users find relief from anxiety by being able to unwind. The sweet, pungent, earthy odor of Shiva Skunk gives users a glimpse into its taste. Some users can be overwhelmed by its skunky aroma, but the majority of users find it appealing, with its added notes of berry and menthol.

Shiva Skunk: Heavenly Skunk Aroma

Shiva Skunk seeds produce medium to tall plants with bright green leaves and buds. The leaves are long and thin, and there doesn’t seem to be rhyme or reason as to where they grow from. The orange and purple pistils stand out among a sea of green, and those hairs are the only way to tell where the buds grow from. The harvested nuggets are dark green and leafy, with a dense and skunky scent. You can easily break these nuggets up with your fingers, but be warned, your hands will smell like weed for a while afterward. Shiva Skunk was the first ever winner of a Cannabis Cup in the Mostly Indica category. That win was back in the 1980s, but Shiva Skunk has remained popular among cannabis enthusiasts ever since. With a resume like the one Shiva Skunk has, there is very little mystery surrounding its popularity in the growing community. Growers love the no-nonsense grow while first-time growers find it easy enough to grow on their own. Combine that fact with heavy yields of high-quality bud, and Shiva Skunk is one of the hands down favorites by cannabis cultivators worldwide. 

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Shiva Skunk can be grown both indoors and outdoors in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate. Since the plants don’t grow over three feet tall, they are easy to manage from planting to harvest. When grown indoors, Shiva Skunk does best when using hydroponics but will also do well in quality soil. When grown outdoors, you are going to want to keep an eye on the branches, as the buds sometimes become too heavy for the branches to support them. This is an easy fix when you combine this grow with the proper training techniques. 

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

  • Indoor or Outdoor: Shiva Skunk marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 71-77 degrees Fahrenheit. In the vegetative stage, you should provide 18-20 hours of light each day. To induce the flowering stage of growth, you will need to alter the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle. This will take you all the way to harvest.
  •  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 50-60% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40-50% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. 
  • Training Techniques: The Screen of Green (SCroG) method is the most commonly used training technique when it comes to Shiva Skunk. This method will help keep buds on their branches by adding a screen to support the weight. In the end, this method will help increase yields by allowing every bud to grow until fruition.

The Germination Game Plan

Before you even plant your Shiva Skunk female cannabis plants, you will first need to germinate these seeds. To do so, refer to our free germination guide, knowing that they are backed by our impressive 90% germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

  • Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Shiva Skunk strain to harvest after a flowering period of 50-60 days. Cultivated outdoors, Shiva Skunk weed should be finished with its flowering stage by the middle of October.
  • Yields: While Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 450 grams per plant. As a first-time cultivator, you should be really happy with these yield numbers. If you have been growing cannabis for a while, these yields should be about average.

Dominant Terpenes in Shiva Skunk: Praise the Plant

The Shiva Skunk terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while pinene and caryophyllene are secondary terpenes.

  • Myrcene: Most Dominant – Myrcene produces an earthy and herbal scent and flavor when found in cannabis plants.
  • Pinene: Secondary Terpene – Found in pine needles and conifer trees, pinene can also be found in cannabis and adds to the flavor and aroma of most strains.
  • Caryophyllene: Spicy and Peppery – Caryophyllene, known for being spicy and peppery, can be found in cloves and cinnamon.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Shiva Skunk: 

Cannabinoids play an important role in Shiva Skunk seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That sleepy, happy, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Shiva Skunk strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user. 

  • THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and happy feeling you get when enjoying Shiva Skunk cannabis.
  • CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Shiva Skunk are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Shiva Skunk strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
