V Shiva
V Shiva Strain Overview
V Shiva is a unique cannabis strain created by Swami Organic Seed, a breeder known for preserving heirloom and Brotherhood of Eternal Love genetics. Named with reverence to the Hindu deity Shiva, who is traditionally associated with cannabis, this strain represents Swami's commitment to maintaining authentic landrace genetics from the 1970s era. The breeder specializes in organic seed production using Living Organic Soil methodology and focuses on preserving genetic lines that have been largely lost to modern hybridization. V Shiva is classified as a mostly sativa variety, characteristic of the heirloom genetics that Swami Organic Seed seeks to preserve.
As with many of Swami's strains, V Shiva appears to be part of their effort to combat what they view as the degradation of cannabis genetics through poorly selected breeding over recent decades. The strain reflects the breeder's philosophy of bringing back 'forgotten human pleasures' from the cannabis of the 1970s. Due to its heirloom nature and limited distribution, detailed user reports and comprehensive testing data remain scarce, making this a particularly rare find for those interested in authentic vintage genetics.
V Shiva Strain Growing Information
V Shiva is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with a flowering time of approximately 10-11 weeks (74 days). The plants are characterized as tall-growing, typical of sativa-dominant strains. Expected yield is classified as medium. This strain has never been available in feminized form, only as regular seeds, which requires growers to identify and separate male plants during cultivation. Given Swami Organic Seed's breeding philosophy, plants likely require experienced cultivation techniques and may show significant phenotypic variation, as the breeder focuses on maintaining genetic diversity rather than uniformity.
