Seb's take
Named for the Hindu deity said to have discovered cannabis while meditating near the plants — a fitting patron for the most potent member of the Skunk family. Northern Lights 5 meets Skunk #1 for a sweet, musky earthiness; the high runs relaxed, giggly and energetic. A Cannabis Cup winner, versatile indoors and out.
Where it comes from
Sensi Seeds named Shiva Skunk for the Hindu deity said to have discovered the properties of cannabis while meditating near the plants — a fitting patron, given this is the most potent member of the whole Skunk family. It crosses Northern Lights 5 with Skunk #1, an 85 percent indica pairing of two foundational names. A Cannabis Cup winner, per the record, and a versatile grower indoors or out. The Lord of Dance, then, honoured by the strongest dancer in the line.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and musky, with an earthy base grounding the whole thing — a dense, rounded profile that marries the Northern Lights' depth to the Skunk's unmistakable signature. The musk gives it a slightly animal character, the sweetness keeps it moreish, and the earth holds it all in place. A classic, well-balanced nose, the sort that reads as pedigree rather than novelty. Rich and inviting, and true to both sides of a distinguished cross.
The high
Relaxed, giggly and energetic — a cheerful, sociable sort of effect that keeps a bit of lift and momentum despite the heavy indica frame. It settles the body without emptying the mood, the giggly, energetic thread seeing to that. A well-rounded, good-humoured high, then, the kind that suits company as readily as quiet. As the most potent of the Skunk family, it does not want for strength, but it wears that strength lightly and agreeably.
Growing it
An all-female, medium-sized plant reaching around 125cm, highly versatile and easy to grow whether indoors or out. Flowering is quick at 45 to 55 days, and the yield is described as heavy, so take that as stated rather than put to a figure. THC sits at 17 percent. As a Cannabis Cup winner she has the pedigree to match the patron she is named for, and the easygoing temperament to make good on it in the tent. A forgiving, productive grow, and a distinguished one at that.
