Purple Skunk (Shaman)

Dutch Passion Seed Co. created Purple Skunk by crossing its male Purple #1 with a female Skunk in the 1980s, according to the breeder. They renamed the strain Shaman in 1997 though some still use its more colorful name. According to Dutch Passion, it has a woody, sweet aroma and a lower THC content.

Shaman was created especially for growing outdoors or in a greenhouse, according to the breeder, and its sativa heritage leads to a hearty plant with good disease resistance and relatively quick flowering time. Shaman delivers large yields from plants that turn purple late in the flowering period. The breeder says this strain produces a potent uplifting effect.
