Breeder's Description - 'Northern Lights x Shiva'
|
Northern Lights crossed with Shiva creates wonderfully pungent sweet buds with bountiful THC. This plant has high flower to leaf ratio. NL/Shi has a bit spicier smoke when compared to Northern Lights and has a more complex buzz. This strain is a timeless classic. NL/Shi has a exotic aroma, is relatively easy to grow and clone.

Nirvana NLxShiva was a very nice variety to grow.
They branch out quite nicely and often "top" themselves somehow
just so they ... continued

This was my first grow in 2001. NL x Shiva was a great place to start. The plants grew quickly and were very forgiving. I kept the pH around 6 - 6.2 (now I keep it lower). There was only a little diversity in phenotypes, all had fat, triangular leaves.
The males showed preflowers pretty early. I placed most of the plants into the flowering area and kept one female for clones: she showed preflowers. Out of six I put into flower one was male and was removed.
The leaves were COVERED in trichomes! At that time I didn't knwo about making hash so I didn't do anything with them. If I ever want to make hash this is the plant I will grow.
The smoke was great. It laid me out for the duration with one toke. Don't expect to drive while enjoying this.
Nirvana seeds have never let me down.
