At the start of the Nineties, two large collections of breeding plants merged and the Seed Bank became the Sensi Seed Bank – one of the most important cannabis gene-banks in existence. To celebrate, Sensi Seeds released several new strains designed to be accessible to every weed-lover - easy to grow, very affordable and always expressing Sensi’s high standards of quality and potency.
Shiva Shanti was the first of these special ganja strains – a beautiful plant named after the equally beautiful twin daughters of Ben Dronkers. This hybrid is bred from an old-school Afghani known as Garlic Bud, whose classic qualities have been reinforced by crossing with another 'heritage' Kush variety; she receives a further boost to her vigour and power through a recessive Skunk influence.
Shiva Shanti covers all the bases; she's large, vibrant and uniform, producing little odour when blooming. As a strain, she’s very dependable in flowering and matures quickly, producing a heavy yield of long, solid, spear-shaped buds. Shiva Shanti inherits the power and characteristic aroma of her famous parent – the sharp, acidic tang of raw garlic, now coexisting with a rich, honeyed scent from the Skunk ancestor. Shiva Shanti's effect is deep, stress-free and a fine enhancer of physical sensations.

Strain FAQ
Why is the honey flavour in cannabis strains distinctive?
These strains' honey flavour is rare and delicate due to terpene balance. Genetics and the environment shape these terpene profiles, giving them a sweet, comforting aroma like honey.
How do short-flowering strains handle temperature changes?
Some short-flowering cultivars may withstand unexpected temperature changes, making them reportedly excellent for outdoor legal gardening. This resilience enables consistent growth and decreases environmental stress-related crop failure.
Why are regular seeds seen as more exciting?
Regular seeds are seen as exciting because of their unpredictability. Each seed is a mystery of different phenotypes, potentially growing into plants with unique taste, scent, and many other factors.
