How to grow Shaman
Seb's take
Shaman traces back to the 1980s, a cross of Purple #1 and Skunk that still turns a fine shade of purple by harvest. Smooth, woody, sandalwood-sweet on the nose, with a sensual, uplifting high that leans indica despite the sativa billing. A resinous old-timer that has more than earned its keep.
Growing Shaman: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod stock. You control when she flowers, which is a responsibility as much as a convenience; the light schedule guide keeps you on the right side of it.
Flowering is done in roughly 8 weeks. The calendar will suit the impatient; the flowering notes will suit everyone.
Expect roughly 150 cm of plant. Manageable, though she'll appreciate a little training if your headroom is tight.
Yields run on the lighter side. A tidy harvest rather than a boastful one — dry and cure it properly and quality will carry the day.
The listed THC is 13.7% — the gentler end of the scale, stated plainly. Harvest timing moves the needle more than most growers realise.
Earthy on the nose — the old-school profile, done properly.
Effects report as chiefly uplifting — she raises the tone of a room rather than lowering the lights.
