Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Shiva Skunk
Shiva Skunk is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid (≈85% indica) created by Sensi Seeds in 1987 by crossing Northern Lights #5 with Skunk #1 — originally known as NL#5×SK#1. A double Cannabis Cup winner (1987 & 1988), it is celebrated for its deeply pungent skunky-sweet aroma, massive resin production, and a powerful, long-lasting high that begins with euphoric mental uplift before melting into full-body relaxation and couch-lock. It is a go-to evening and nighttime strain widely sought for relief from insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, and stress.
