Shiva Shanti II®

Descrição de Sensi Seeds

Flavor, Aroma, and Effects

Shiva Shanti II Regular offers a pleasant taste and aroma that evolves as the plant matures. While growing, the plants emit a classic skunk aroma, characteristic of the Garlic parent plant. As the buds develop, they take on a sweet, lavender scent, which is also reflected in the taste. The high is relaxing and calming, with a mild energy boost from the 25% sativa content. This makes it a great option for evening relaxation, without being overly intense.

Growing Characteristics

Shiva Shanti II Regular is a 75% indica, 25% sativa hybrid, originally developed in the 1990s by Sensi Seeds. It combines Garlic and Kush genetics with an Afghani variant, resulting in a strain that is both high-yielding and easy to grow. The plants are compact, seldom growing beyond 180 cm outdoors, and are ideal for growers with limited space. Indoors, they typically reach 100 to 160 cm, making them suitable for small grow spaces or greenhouses.

This strain has a short flowering time of 45 to 55 days, and is low-maintenance, allowing growers to achieve quick results with minimal effort. It is resistant to mold and pests, further simplifying cultivation. Indoors, it can yield between 400 to 450 grams per square meter, while outdoor yields range from 600 to 800 grams per plant, with some growers reporting up to one kilogram from a single plant.

Structurally, the plants are squat and sturdy, with a solid central stem that becomes laden with large, resin-coated buds by harvest time. It thrives in warmer climates but can also be grown successfully in more temperate regions. The strain can be cultivated indoors year-round, and growers have reported success with training techniques such as lollipopping and supercropping.

Additional Information

Shiva Shanti II Regular is a regular seed variety, meaning it produces both male and female plants. This makes it a good choice for growers looking to produce their own seeds or create hybrids. The strain was named after Ben Dronkers’ twin daughters and is also linked to the Hindu god Shiva, who is often associated with cannabis. Some phenotypes may exhibit a strong garlic scent, a trait inherited from the Garlic parent plant.
