Shaman is an F1 hybrid cannabis strain created in the 1980s by crossing a Purple #1 with an Early Skunk. It is an 87.5% sativa plant half of which will turn purple during the flowering phase.
Shaman was developed for outdoor and greenhouse cultivation. It is a fast-flowering strain with above average yields. She is a robust, hardy plant with great resistance to mould and rot, a quality that is of the utmost importance when growing outdoors in northern Europe. It has the elegant, slender profile of a sativa plant with quite long inter-nodal spacing. Flowering is a short 7 - 8 weeks in a greenhouse and where left exposed to the elements full maturity will be reached by the end of September or early October at the very latest in northern latitudes.
Over a period of more than three decades Shaman has performed again and again and growers looking for a reliable outdoor sativa plant for cooler climates can rely on it. The aroma and taste are smooth, sweet and somewhat woody and the effect is rather sensual and uplifting.
