The most potent member of the Skunk feminized seed family and therefore one of the most potent Indica-dominant strains ever produced, this special hybrid was named in honor of the Hindu god Shiva, Lord of Bhang. Shiva Skunk seeds were an instant hit when they were introduced in 1987 as NL # 5 x Sk # 1. This simple title immediately piqued the interest of all growers who knew the two parent plants. The creation of a new cannabis strain that combines distinct and stable genotypes is always a remarkable event, and that particular string of letters indicated something extraordinary.

NL # 5 x Sk # 1 offered growers the taste of "cube cannabis" - a superhybrid that embodied the two most potent cannabis strains known at the time. Before being formally named, Shiva Skunk had already built a reputation for growing marijuana. Now Sensi Seeds has taken Shiva Skunk a step further by presenting one of the most beloved strains of all time as a uniform, reliable and fully feminized strain!


Both progenitors influence the structure of the prolific bud and are manifested in the potency of feminized Shiva Skunk seeds. From late flowering, its buds greatly increase their mass and density, covering themselves with a unique layer of resin, a legacy of the only true Northern Lights # 5. The extraordinary vigor of the hybrid means that the feminized Shiva Skunk even surpasses its progenitors in terms of yield and resin content.


Its scent is musky enriched with a sweet citrus undertone; the smoke is dense, expansive and resinous, described as "creamy" by veterans, sometimes "oily" or "heavy" by newbies. The physical-mental potency of Shiva Skunk can have different effects on smokers, making them euphoric and red, or deeply contemplative, or even charging them with energy and a desire for adventure. It is not a smoke to be taken lightly; remember that Lord Shiva's first name is The Destroyer!
