Shiva Shanti® Regular Seeds – Sensi Seeds | Indica-Dominant, High-Yield & Easy to Grow

Shiva Shanti® Regular Seeds from Sensi Seeds are your ticket to a powerful, relaxing indica experience with minimal effort and maximum reward — a true legend born in the 90s to celebrate the birth of the seed bank itself.

Worried your first grow will be a total flop?

Let’s be real: starting with regular seeds can feel intimidating. What if you waste time on males? What if your plant stretches too much, smells up the house, or just… doesn’t deliver?

What if you’re stuck with weak yields and bland buds no matter what you try?

Too many growers end up with airy, flavorless harvests because they’re fighting unstable genetics or battling mold-prone strains. You want something that actually works — something that grows strong, smells bold, and rewards your effort.

Shiva Shanti® Regular Seeds are the no-drama, high-reward solution

This 85% indica powerhouse was built for real growers with real lives. It’s forgiving, fast-flowering, and packs a serious punch in both yield and potency. Whether you're growing indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, it adapts and thrives — giving you dense, resin-coated buds without the stress.

What to expect in your first few grows

Don’t expect perfection on the first try — and that’s okay. Most new growers see solid structure by week 3, with that signature dark, narrow leaf pattern emerging fast. The real magic happens in flowering: compact, spear-shaped colas start stacking up, and the sweet-sour skunk aroma begins to bloom. Pay attention to humidity — keep it under 60% in veg and drop to 40–50% in flower to avoid any issues. You’ll learn fast, and each harvest gets better.

Common mistakes and how to avoid them

• Overwatering young plants — let the top soil dry slightly between waterings.
• Ignoring early stretch — use LST early to control height and boost yield.
• Harvesting too early — wait for milky-to-amber trichomes for full body relaxation.
• Letting humidity spike in flowering — use passive airflow or a small fan to prevent mold.
• Using aggressive pruning — this strain rewards gentle training, not topping stress.

How to fine-tune until you find your perfect sweet spot

1. Start with a simple soil mix and 18/6 light cycle.
2. Change only one variable at a time (water, light, nutrients).
3. Take notes on growth speed, smell, and plant structure.
4. Adjust pot size based on space — 11–20 L works best.
5. Experiment with LST during early veg to maximize light exposure.
6. Monitor trichomes weekly in the final 3 weeks.
7. Flush 7–10 days before harvest for a smoother smoke.

How to grow Shiva Shanti® Regular Seeds

Fast, forgiving, and built for success — this is how you grow Shiva Shanti® like a pro.

Quick overview

Photoperiod regular with 85% indica dominance. 50–55 day flower. Low difficulty. Ideal for indoor, outdoor, or greenhouse in warm climates.

• Germinate at 22–25 °C with high humidity.
• Transplant gently when taproot is ~1 cm (0.39 in).
• Use a well-draining soil mix with organic matter.
• For faster rooting, Bactofil bacillus and bacteria stimulate roots | Agrobacterias boosts early development.

Directed growth

Keep it simple: 18/6 light, 22–26 °C, and moderate watering. This strain grows compact but can stretch — start LST early.

• Use pots between 11–20 L depending on space.
• Apply Pro Roots weekly to strengthen root mass and resilience.
• Avoid high nitrogen in late veg — it can delay flowering.
• Prune lower, shaded branches to improve airflow.

Flowering by stages

Switch to 12/12 light. Watch for rapid bud formation around week 3. Support heavy colas if needed.

• Keep humidity at 40–50% to prevent mold.
• Boost flowering with HESI Bloom Complex for Soil for denser, resin-rich buds.
• Reduce EC gradually in final weeks.
• Flush with plain water 7–10 days pre-harvest.

Harvest, drying and curing

Harvest when 70% of trichomes are milky with some amber for full body relaxation.

• Dry slowly at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH for 7–10 days.
• Cure in jars for 2–4 weeks, burping daily.
• Expect a smooth, skunky smoke with sweet-sour notes.
• Store in a cool, dark place for long-term freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to master growing Shiva Shanti®?

Most growers nail it by their second grow. The first harvest teaches you about its stretch, smell, and flowering speed — the second one is pure refinement.

How do I know if I’m growing it right?

Healthy plants show dark green leaves, steady growth, and no signs of mold or nutrient burn. If it’s bushy, compact, and smells sweet-sour in flower — you’re on track.

What if I don’t like the flavor or effect?

Phenotype variation is normal. Some express garlicky notes, others are more skunky. Try selecting seeds from your best plant next time — or explore Sensi Seeds for more stable options.

Can I grow it discreetly?

Absolutely. It’s compact, has low-to-medium odor during grow, and finishes fast. Perfect for stealth setups.

Is it mold-resistant?

It’s moderately resistant, but dense buds need good airflow. Avoid high humidity in flowering to stay safe.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I grew Shiva Shanti® back in the day when regular seeds were the only option. My first attempt? Total chaos — I didn’t know about LST, so one plant stretched to the ceiling. But the yield? Massive. The high? Deep, relaxing, exactly what I needed after long days.

The game-changer was learning to low-stress train early. I bent the main stem at week 3, and suddenly I had an even canopy and double the bud sites. I also discovered the garlic bud phenotype — rare, but when you find it, the flavor is next-level. I still keep a jar of that harvest as a reminder: sometimes the best things come from trial, error, and a little patience. If you’re new to regulars, start here — it’s forgiving, fast, and teaches you everything you need to know.
