Shiva Shanti II Regular by Sensi Seeds

Information on Shiva Shanti II

Shiva Shanti II Regular is one of the most recognized varieties in the Sensi Seeds catalog. Designed in the early 90s to offer high yields and accessible cultivation, this indica-dominant (75%) variety in regular seed combines genetic robustness with an aromatic profile and effect of great personality. Its name pays homage to the twin daughters of the seed bank's founder, Ben Dronkers, and also evokes the figure of the Hindu god Shiva, historically linked to cannabis.

Genetics and origin: four-way Afghan cross

Shiva Shanti II is born from the combination of Garlic Bud, Skunk and two different Afghan varieties, forming a four-way hybrid that expands the genetic base of the original Shiva Shanti. The incorporation of this additional third Afghan component reinforces stability and ease of cultivation compared to its predecessor, while maintaining the phenotypic variability typical of complex hybrids. Being regular seeds, they produce both male and female plants, making them a highly valued option for those who wish to generate their own seeds or work on creating homemade crosses.

Cultivation: high yield and great adaptability

Indoors, Shiva Shanti II develops a compact and robust structure, with a strong central stem and large, resinous buds. It reaches between 100 and 160 cm in height and completes its flowering in just 45 - 55 days, with productions ranging between 400 and 450 g/m². It responds well to techniques such as lollipopping and supercropping, although its resistant profile makes it perfectly suitable for growers with little experience.

Outdoors, its compact height (between 150 and 180 cm) makes it ideal for standard greenhouses or spaces requiring discretion. Under favorable conditions it can reach between 600 and 800 g per plant, with some growers reporting harvests close to a kilogram. It adapts well to temperate and warm climates, and can be grown in latitudes below 45°N. Its good resistance to mold and pests is another advantage for those seeking an undemanding and productive variety.

Aromas, flavors and effects

Shiva Shanti II's aromatic profile evolves throughout the cycle: during growth, classic skunky notes predominate, with an herbal background from the Garlic Bud parent that can intensify depending on the phenotype. As harvest approaches, hints of lavender and fresh earth emerge that enrich the whole. On the palate it offers a sweet and smooth flavor, with notes of skunk and kush, an herbal touch and, in some phenotypes, a delicate hint of lavender.

As for effects, its majority indica genetics translate into a relaxing and physical experience, with a sensation of calm, serenity and moderate-intensity muscle relaxation. The 25% sativa contributes a slight touch of euphoria that prevents falling into deep sedation, making Shiva Shanti II a very suitable option for recreational use in the afternoon or evening hours.
