Seb's take
Garlic Bud crossed through Kush, Skunk and Afghani lines gives Shiva Shanti II its earthy, sweet nose with a garlic note that does not travel discreetly. Developed in the nineties and still in circulation, she is highly relaxing with a clear mental focus rather than fog. Ideal for beginners, kept on by veterans for the same reasons.
Where it comes from
Sensi Seeds developed Shiva Shanti II back in the nineties, running Garlic Bud through Kush, Skunk and Afghani lines, and it has stuck around ever since — one of the most popular indicas in Holland and well beyond. Longevity like that is its own endorsement: a plant does not stay in the catalogue for three decades on charm alone. A well-travelled, thoroughly proven cross, with the same savoury Garlic Bud streak running through the family.
Nose & flavour
Earthy and sweet, with a garlic note that does not travel discreetly — the Garlic Bud parent making itself heard, as it tends to. The record also flags a fresh, floral aroma and a sweet grapefruit taste, so the profile runs broader than the savoury headline suggests, from citrus-bright to earthy-pungent. A distinctive, layered nose, then, and an unusual one — the sort that keeps a grower guessing which note will surface next.
The high
Highly relaxing, but with a clear mental focus rather than fog — a settling body effect that keeps the head engaged, running euphoric and happy underneath. It is a balanced sort of calm, in other words, easing the frame without dimming the mind. A comfortable, functional high, the kind you can enjoy without losing the thread of the afternoon. Relaxed and cheerful throughout, and clearer-headed than most indicas of its vintage tend to be.
Growing it
She adapts well to any environment you set in front of her, which is much of why she remains a favourite of beginners and veterans alike. Flowering is quick at 45 to 55 days, producing massive, thick, resinous buds — the yield described only as huge, so take that as the record gives it. THC sits at 20 to 21 percent with 1 percent CBD. Indoors, give the seeds room and wait; outdoors she puts up a substantial plant. A forgiving, generous grower, undemanding at both ends of the experience scale.
