Named after Ben Dronkers' twin daughters, this strain was developed to celebrate the merger of two major breeding collections that formed the Sensi Seed Bank. The strain is bred from classic genetics combining an old-school Afghan variety known as Garlic Bud with another heritage Kush specimen, enhanced by recessive Skunk No. 1 genetics for improved vigor and uniformity. Shiva Shanti has won multiple Cannabis Cup awards and remains a cornerstone strain representing old-school cannabis quality and reliability.

Buds are large, dense, and spear-shaped, forming primarily around the central cola. Indoor plants typically reach 100-160cm in height, while outdoor cultivation can produce plants of 190-220cm. The strain is known for its ease of cultivation, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers.
