Shiva

Shiva seeds produce plants that are short, compact and bushy, growing to a height of between 50 and 80 centimetres. Leaves are dark green and broad with thick fingers and the buds are on the small side but very dense. THC levels are in the 15 to 20 percent range.

Indoors, you can cultivate Shiva in hydro but it does best in a soil growing medium using the SOG method. This plant doesn’t like to be over fertilized, so go easy with the nutrients. Flowering time is eight to nine weeks and you should achieve yields of 400 to 500 grams per square metre.
