Shaman Regular is the form in which Dutch Passion first released this colorful Sativa-dominant strain. Before feminized seeds existed, Shaman was developed and sold as a regular F1 hybrid from a Skunk female and an exceptional Purple #1 male. These seeds keep that original setup, giving you males and females from the classic Shaman gene pool.
Each pack holds 10 regular photoperiod seeds with a roughly even split of males and females. For breeders and seed collectors, that opens the door to pollen collection, backcrosses and your own purple projects. For gardeners, it means a wider group of females to choose from when picking a mother plant.
The traits worth selecting for are clear. About half of the females color up in shades from pale pink to near-black, flowering takes 7-9 weeks, and the open buds hold up well in rain and humidity. Plants usually reach 100-200 cm (39-79 in) and can exceed 300 cm (118 in) with a long veg, and experienced growers report around 500-750 g per plant (17.6-26.5 oz per plant) outdoors or under glass.
Purple Genetics for Breeders and Phenotype Hunters
Shaman is a useful parent for anyone who wants to add color and speed to Sativa-leaning outdoor strains. Her Purple #1 heritage brings the pink and purple hues and sometimes pink pistils, while the Skunk side adds vigor and a faster finish than a pure Sativa would manage.
When you run a full pack, sort males early, then keep the most promising ones apart if you want to save pollen. Among the females, watch for three things: depth of color as night temperatures fall, the sweetness or spice of the aroma, and how fast each plant finishes. Phenotypes vary from about 50 to 65 days of bloom, so there is real room for selection.
A selected female can be kept as a mother plant and cloned every season. Many outdoor growers like this approach because they lock in the exact color and flavor they found, while still holding regular seeds in reserve for future breeding.
Aroma, Effect, and Growing Notes
Expect sweet, fruity, floral and spicy aromas with occasional sour or pine accents. The effect is a social, energetic, creative head high of medium strength, with THC rated as medium by Dutch Passion.
Grow Shaman Regular outdoors or in a greenhouse. She forms a Christmas-tree shape on her own and becomes wide and bushy when topped several times. Bending and supercropping keep stretch in check, and SCROG is an option under glass. Dutch Passion estimates about 400 g/m² (1.31 oz/ft²) per area. In wet climates, defoliate at the end of veg to reduce the risk of mold in the buds.

FAQ
Was Shaman originally a regular strain?
Yes. Shaman was first developed as regular seeds and only later offered in a feminized version. The regular seeds stay closest to the original release.
What can I do with male Shaman plants?
Males can be used to collect pollen for crosses or backcrosses, for example to add purple color and a faster finish to other Sativa-leaning outdoor strains.
How many seeds are in a Shaman Regular pack?
Each pack contains 10 regular photoperiod seeds, with roughly half males and half females.
How do I choose a Shaman mother plant?
Compare color depth as nights cool, aroma, bloom time and resistance to wet weather. Keep a cutting of the female you like most under long days and clone her each season.
How long does Shaman Regular flower?
Flowering takes 7-9 weeks, with individual phenotypes ranging from about 50 to 65 days. Outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere, harvest falls in late September or early October.
What effect does Shaman have?
A Sativa-style head high that is social, energetic and creative, with medium potency that suits daytime use.
