Shiva Skunk Automatic

2024/03/25 : It stayed dwarf because of me. I thought it was dead seed so I put it in the trashbin. 2 days later, I saw its root and planted it in a too small pot with a mix of about anything was left and didn't mind it. I had to transplant after a few weeks as it lived : that's not recommended for autoflower and it needed about a week to recover. It endured nutriments lock too, yet it was still alive after a good flush and went to the end to gave me something (maybe 10~15g dry). Fan leaves became red while flowering and the end smell was very strong : get your carbon filter ready!

Smells awesome

One of my favorite strains because of the great aroma and strong body effect. Growing her was a breeze and very fast. Harvesting 99g of first class grass after such a short time is simply great. Rating after such a short cure time is problematic, because it will improve substantially in the coming months, but I try to take this into account. So while smell and taste are already perfect (a full 10), the effect is not yet where I want it to be. But I'm very optimistic this will change. The great smell can impose a problem for people who need to perform a stealth grow: It is incredibly intense, it almost killed my carbon filter. It is a "skunk" for a reason! Very recommendable for beginners; you cannot do anything wrong with this strain. I expect growing it again and again in the future. Love this classic.

Great plant for beginners. Absolutely no issues during the whole grow. Many leaves. The top buds are hard as rocks, the lower ones a bit fluffy. But this is to be expected due to the early/premature harvest. Very good yield for the short time. The effect is exactly what I wanted: A very strong body buzz that makes your chest vibrate. This even extends to the legs. Very pleasant, every breath feels like a pleasure. Head stays mostly clear. Smell and taste are not yet really developed after less than two weeks of curing, but it is already the typical skunk with a fresh undertone. I prefer very long curing times; I think the real aroma needs about half a year to develop, so I will definitely update later. But wanted to give a first impression. Currently 8/10, but this might even improve. Update: After about a month of curing, both taste and effect have improved significantly. There is a very noticeable taste of citrus and the base skunk aroma has become even more intense. Extremely yummy! Both head and body effect got stronger; in fact the body buzz is quite extreme now, but not narcotic. So I'm increasing the rating to 9/10, very close to a full 10. Absolutely recommended!
