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.
Where it comes from
Dutch Passion trace Shaman back to the 1980s, a cross of Purple #1 with other Skunk varieties that still turns a fine shade of purple by harvest. It is a 75 percent sativa, colour-rich and productive, and one of the older names to have kept its place on the shelf through sheer usefulness. A resinous old-timer, in short, with a pedigree measured in decades rather than seasons — the sort of plant that has long since stopped needing to prove itself.
Nose & flavour
Smooth and woody, with a distinct sandalwood character and clear sweet notes running through — an unusual, almost aromatic-timber profile that sets it apart from the usual skunk lineage. The earthiness beneath keeps it grounded. It is a refined nose for a plant of its vintage, the sort that reads as incense and polished wood rather than anything sharp or loud. Distinctive, and pleasantly so.
The high
A sensual, uplifting effect that leans indica despite the sativa billing on paper — the record is candid on that mismatch. It runs euphoric and energetic at the edges, but the body-settling character is what defines it. A pleasant, warming sort of high, uplifted rather than heavy, from a strain that has had a few decades to work out exactly what it wants to be. Comfortable company, and easy with it.
Growing it
A colour-rich, productive grower reaching 100 to 150cm, with the fast turnaround its Skunk heritage tends to bring — flowering wraps in 49 to 56 days. Yields sit at 300 to 400 g/m², modest but honest, indoors or out, and THC lands at a gentle 13.7 percent, so this is a milder companion than most on the shelf. She turns a beautiful purple through flowering, full of resin potential. An easygoing veteran, forgiving and colourful, that has more than earned its long keep.
