What is the Shaman strain?
Shaman is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Shaman is an original Dutch Passion classic that has been in the collection for several decades and was developed during a period of experimental cannabis breeding in the early 1980s. It was specifically bred by Dutch Passion by crossing a purple phenotype of a Thai sativa landrace with a robust early Skunk indica variety. This sativa-dominant hybrid features 75% sativa genetics and 25% indica genetics, with an average flowering time of 8 weeks. The breeding program emerged from crossing an early Skunk with a colorful Purple strain, resulting in an F1 hybrid between Purple #1 and a Skunk female.
Shaman is recognized for its durable and hardy nature, with known strong resistance to bud rot, spider mites, mold, and pests, making it especially suited for outdoor cultivation in temperate climates. The strain often displays vibrant purple flowers, with about half of the plants developing rich purple coloration during flowering, inherited from its Thai sativa parent. Despite being a hybrid, Shaman behaves primarily like a pure sativa with tall, elegant plants featuring slender leaves and long buds, averaging around 3-5 feet in height.
