Shiver
Shiver Strain Overview
Shiver is an indica-dominant cannabis strain bred by Pacific NW Roots, created through crossing Shiva Skunk with Freeze. With a 90/10 indica-to-sativa ratio, this strain represents a potent combination of two distinctive parent genetics. Shiva Skunk, a legendary Cannabis Cup winner from Sensi Seeds, brings the deeply relaxing indica effects and resinous production that made it famous in the 1990s. The Freeze parent adds refreshing qualities and contributes to the strain's unique cooling characteristics.
The resulting offspring produces dense, frosty buds that emit a cooling aroma of menthol and earth, providing a crisp and invigorating sensory experience despite its predominantly sedating effects. Shiver has been utilized in several breeding projects and was later released as an F3 generation, indicating stabilization of its genetic traits. The strain has gained recognition for its potent effects and has been used as a parent strain in notable crosses, including the popular Lemon Shiv strain created by Capulator.
