Shiva Shanti

Shiva Shanti is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Shiva Shanti 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 Shanti 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.

Shiva Shanti has a delicious lemon flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a lemon-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Shiva Shanti is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. 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 Shanti family — see Shiva Shanti II and Shanti for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
