Shiva Skunk Automatic

More about Shiva Skunk Automatic

Back in the '80s a quiet revolution was happening in the world of cannabis, and breeders started playing a lot more with new growing techniques and crossbreeding. That’s when the Shiva Skunk strain first hit the scene, originally known under the cryptic name “NL#5 x Sk#1”. It quickly made a name for itself thanks to its famous parents, Northern Lights #5 and Skunk #1, both legends in their own right. Fast forward a few decades, and the classic Shiva Skunk seeds (Sensi Seeds) are now in the modern age with the Shiva Skunk Automatic version, thanks to Sensi Seed Bank, keeping the signature strength while making it easier than ever to grow. This strain has also been a recognized champion winner over the years. It won the 1st Prize Outdoor at Cannaval and 2nd Place at the BHO Copa de Asociaciones Canarias, which marked the Sensi Seeds Shiva Skunk Automatic strain as one of the most trusted names in cannabis growing. If you're after a reliable strain that performs without the fuss, this is for you.

Northern Lights #5

Northern Lights #5 is one of the most common go-to indicas for heavy relaxation and sky-high THC levels. This parent gives Shiva Skunk Automatic its compact structure, fat buds, and that deep, calming body high that hits like a warm blanket. It’s also the reason those buds get caked in glistening trichomes. You can find many versions of this strain at Sirius Seedshop, like the classic Northern Light from Royal Queen Seeds and the Northern Lights 5 X Haze from Sensi Seeds.

Skunk #1

The Skunk #1 strain brings balance to the genetic mix. It adds that classic citrus-skunk aroma and a reliable, stress-free grow. Thanks to this parent strain, Shiva Skunk Automatic doesn't just deliver relaxing effects, but is also super easy to grow! This makes it a favorite for growers who want flavor, funk, and consistency in one tidy package. Luckily for you, Skunk 1 seeds by Sensi Seeds are available in our online Seedshop!

Ruderalis

The ruderalis genetics are what gives Shiva Skunk its autoflowering characteristics, allowing it to flower without manually adjusting light schedule. Plants grown from autoflowering cannabis seeds flower automatically once they reach a certain height and adapt to everything from sunny outdoor setups to indoor grow tents. This is what makes Shiva Skunk Automatic Sensi Seeds such an easy choice for growers in all kinds of environments.

Flavors and aroma of Shiva Skunk Automatic

Shiva Skunk Automatic brings a full-on sensory experience. Expect a flavorful hit with every puff, mixing sharp citrus zest, a skunky musk, and a grounding earthy aftertaste. While the plant is growing, the aroma is bold and unmistakably pungent. Once dried and cured, it softens into a sweeter, more complex scent with a much deeper earthy smell.

This strain contains high amounts of Myrcene and Limonene, terpenes known for their relaxing effects and bright citrusy character. To fully appreciate all these flavors, we recommend using a premium weed vaporizer from our online Vaporizershop. The smoke is smooth but heavy, with a creamy texture and a long-lasting, skunky aftertaste. Whether you're vaporizing or smoking one using rolling papers and tips, Shiva Skunk Auto always leaves a strong impression.
