How to grow Shark Shock
Taste
Seb's take
Black Widow and Skunk #1 combine in Shark Shock, a densely compacted plant with extreme aromas that does not travel discreetly. Testing, the breeder notes with some pride, was strictly on humans — never animals. The high runs relaxed, happy and euphoric, with a focused, uplifted edge that has made it something of a champion.
Where it comes from
Mr. Nice Seedbank crossed Black Widow with Skunk #1 for Shark Shock — and the Black Widow itself is a Brazilian sativa married to a South Indian hybrid, so there is a fair spread of the world in the family tree. The result grows into a densely compacted white skunk with extreme aromas. Testing, the breedbank notes with some evident pride, was carried out strictly on humans and never on animals, which is as it should be.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and sweet, with a woody depth, a skunk backbone and a pine lift threading through — extreme aromas, in the record's own words, from a plant that does not travel discreetly. It is a dense, layered profile, savoury and resinous, the sort that fills a space thoroughly and refuses to be ignored. Loud, in a word, but a well-rounded loud, with enough sweetness to keep it moreish rather than merely pungent.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, with a focused, uplifted edge that keeps the mind engaged rather than fogged — a well-balanced effect that has made it something of a champion in its class. The record calls it a pleasure to use, and the mix of body calm and mental clarity bears that out. Good company across the board, settling enough to relax you while leaving the head clear enough to make use of.
Growing it
Best grown Sea of Green, this densely compacted plant is a pleasure to watch fill out. Indoor yields run a generous 500 to 600 g/m², with a quick flowering window — the record variously cites 50 to 56 days and as little as 40 to 50 indoors, so watch the plant rather than the diary. THC sits at 17 percent against a substantial 10 percent CBD. In the northern hemisphere she is ready September to early October, the southern March to early April. As a regular line, she offers breeding stock as readily as a jar.
