Shiva Shanti II

Shiva Shanti II is a autoflowering evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 13-19% on average, with 0.4% CBD. Seeds come in autoflower form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Shiva Shanti II 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. Because of these effects, Shiva Shanti II is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Shiva Shanti II has a distinctive diesel and citrus 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 diesel-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped bright neon green nugs, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Shiva Shanti II is an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators, finishing in as little as 8-9 weeks from germination and performing well indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. 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 Shanti and Shanti Devi for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
