Genetics and Origin Shiva Skunk has two famous parents. The first is Skunk #1. A 1970s creation from Sacred Seeds in California. The second is Northern Lights #5. Bred from Afghani landrace genetics. Sensi Seeds combined them in Holland. They wanted a faster-flowering, frostier indica. The result was Shiva Skunk. The cross gave growers a stable indica. Heavy yields. Short flowering. Loud terpenes. It also gave smokers a reliable body high that does not flatten you. Look, Smell, and Taste The buds are mid to large. Spade-shaped. Dense and frosted.
