Atomic Shiva
Also known as: Shiva (Atomic Shiva), Dr. Atomic Shiva
Overview
Atomic Shiva is a potent indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Dr. Atomic Seeds, a renowned breeder with over 40 years of cannabis genetics experience. This strain was created through careful breeding techniques combining three legendary parent strains: Northern Lights, Super Skunk, and Hash Plant. Dr. Atomic Seeds is known for preserving classic genetics and creating medicinal strains with strong therapeutic potential. Named after the Hindu deity Shiva, who is traditionally associated with cannabis in Indian culture and known for discovering the mind-expanding properties of the plant, this strain reflects both spiritual significance and powerful effects.
The strain exhibits typical indica characteristics with compact, fast-flowering plants that produce dense, resinous buds. Atomic Shiva is specifically bred for users seeking strong sedative effects and pain relief. According to the breeder's description, this strain is designed for those looking for 'pain relief, couchlock, and heavy lethargic stone.' The plant structure remains short and compact during cultivation, making it suitable for indoor growing environments. With its robust genetics derived from three powerhouse strains, Atomic Shiva represents a concentrated expression of indica effects and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Atomic Shiva is considered suitable for cultivators of various experience levels, with a flowering time of 7-8 weeks (49-56 days) when grown indoors. The strain produces compact, fast-growing plants that yield approximately 70-100 grams per plant. Plants remain relatively short and manageable, making them ideal for indoor cultivation and stealth growing operations. The strain exhibits vigorous growth with good resistance typical of its hardy parent genetics. Growers should expect dense, resinous buds with high calyx-to-leaf ratios that make trimming easier. The strain's indica-dominant nature means it responds well to training techniques and maintains a bushy structure.
