How to Grow Shiva Skunk
This stocky little plant won’t show the full extent of how thick and dense its buds can become until late in the flowering period. So, don’t despair if the flowers look a bit poor in the beginning. Shiva Skunk yields the best result if grown with a hydroponic system or sea of green (SOG) environment. Since this strain is used to a warmer, Mediterranean climate, it doesn’t do well in mid and northern European regions.
