Strain Description:
 
Shiva Shanti is an indica-dominant strain that offers a relaxed and contented high. The indica genes dominate, providing a potent body stone that relaxes the muscles and helps alleviate physical tension. The 15% sativa influence adds a slight uplift to the high, though it remains largely physical, making it ideal for unwinding and de-stressing.
 
The strain has a moderate growth structure, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation. It reaches 100-160 cm indoors and can grow up to 190-220 cm outdoors, so it's well-suited for environments where vertical space is limited. In the right conditions, the plants produce dense, resinous buds and are ready for harvest after 50-55 days of flowering.
 
Shiva Shanti is known for its easy cultivation and affordable price. It thrives in sunny climates like the Mediterranean but can also be grown indoors or in greenhouses, making it versatile. The plants are bushy with thick central stems and narrow dark leaves. With proper care, they can yield 500 grams per square meter indoors, or 500 grams per plant outdoors.
 
The fragrance of Shiva Shanti is quite distinctive, with sweet, sour, and garlic notes, complemented by a skunky tang. When dried and cured, the skunky taste remains strong, providing a familiar and satisfying experience for cannabis enthusiasts.
