The unique Shiva Skunk phenotype present in this strain displays a trait that ensures the plants greasy calyxes swelled way above any other skunk used in our trials and the greasiness of each calyx has also been maximised. This, combined with the Monster Mass characteristics means that it is one of the heaviest producing strains in the CMC vault without any compromise on quality. It will suit growers of all skill levels with novice growers finding her very easy to look after, and, after 60, stress free days of flowering the result is some of the dankest, skunkiest nugs imaginable. She exhibits long and sharply serrated leaves and the flowers are extra large, tight, highly resinous, and absolutely reek of sour skunk, subtle lemon and pine. The taste mirrors the smell profile and will have you wanting her back in your garden year after year. As with all our photoperiod strains it is possible to push yields further by using various training techniques and it responds superbly to topping them early, producing numerous mutated monster size colas that are not far off the terminal cola in size and girth.
Strain FAQ
How are sour cannabis strains created?
Selective breeding selects strains with strong sour terpene profiles to create offspring with more sour flavours. Terpene formation, which affects the strain's taste and aroma, depends on soil pH and light exposure.
Why are Skunk strains essential to cannabis breeding?
Skunk strains, especially Skunk #1, inspired many hybrids. Skunk #1 was a pioneering stabilised combination of Afghani, Mexican Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold from the 1970s. This combination set the standard for cannabis breeding and was the foundation for many cannabis genotypes.
Are strains which finish at the End of September more sustainable?
Absolutely. These strains are said to need less water and nutrients since they finish faster. Their low light and heat requirements reportedly make them a greener outdoor production option.
Can high-yielding strains adapt to different climates?
Indeed, many of these strains are known to adapt well to a great range of various climates. Breeding ingenuity has created hybrids that reportedly thrive in chilly northern regions and warm, humid tropical conditions.
What reported medical benfits are high-THC strains said to have?
High-THC cannabis has been reported to help individuals with persistent pain, nausea, or epilepsy, amongst many other ailments. However, it is said that what works depends on the user, and this shows the need for proper tailored medical advice from a professional.
