Shiva Shanti is an 85% indica plant that is a 3-way hybrid strain. It was bred by crossing Afghani Garlic Bud with another Kush and a Skunk strain. It was named after Sensi Seeds owner Ben Dronkers and was the released in the first selection from Sensi Seeds in the early 1990s..
Shiva Shanti is a stable, uniform, easy-to-grow plant that takes 7 – 8 weeks to finish flowering producing very little of that familiar tell-tale odour of a grow nearing maturity. It grows well indoors but is also a good bet either for greenhouse cultivation or for growing outdoors where the weather is warm and sunny, e.g. the Mediterranean region. These plants are strong and produce very dense indica buds that are dark green in colour and which sparkle with gleaming resin crystals. Yields are the largest of Sensi Seeds’ indica strains.
The aroma when dried has a sweet ‘n’ sour, garlic and Skunk quality while the flavour is very smooth on smoking with notes of sour Skunk. Its effect is that of a deep, physical, body stone that is incredibly relaxing.
