Shiva Skunk Auto cannabis seeds produce compact plants that reach heights between 90 to 140 cm during flowering. This is great for discreet growers as there are no towering plants. The plants have distinctive green/silver coloring and abundant resin production. The leaves are skunk-like in appearance with an elongated, narrow, and dark shape.
Although autoflowering strains generally have slightly reduced yields compared to other variants, Shiva Skunk Auto performs well and provides a solid yield with minimal effort. As the flowering progresses, the buds increase in mass and become heavier and more resinous. They will be coated with a layer of resin glands, reminiscent of the parent-plant, Northern Lights #5.
Once the buds are dried and cured, the trichomes become even more noticeable, creating an exceptional pale silver-green color with blunt-tips and a glistening sheen. Shiva Skunk Auto is a hardy strain suitable for most climates and can be grown without training. However, some growers have had success with the SOG and SCROG growing methods, as well as supercropping and lollipopping.
This indica-dominant strain provides an intense and mellow high, often leading to deep thoughts, enthusiasm, or laughter due to its 20% sativa parentage. Users often experience enjoyable physical relaxation and some use it for medicinal purposes.
While the plants are growing, you will notice the musky scent of skunk, along with a pleasant citrus aroma. After harvesting and drying, the smell becomes earthy. When consumed, the earthiness is more prominent, accompanied by a fresh lemon/skunk flavor.
