Shiva

Shiva is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. THC testing typically lands between 23% and 29%, pairing raw strength with a 0.4% CBD content. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Shiva high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Shiva a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect skunk and coffee up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a skunk-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Shiva offers a demanding plant best left to experienced growers — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Shiva family — see V Shiva and Atomic Shiva for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
