For those of you who have not heard of those strains I collected some descriptions from their breeders.
BELLADONNA - Paradise Seeds
Mostly sativa with indica tendencies, Belladonna is an ideal cross for quality and yield. Since its introduction in 1999 it has gained interest among commercial growers. This variety combines a quick harvest time with a sativa high. In part named for her beauty, Belladonna is a pleasant looking plant with moderate foliage, indica growth patterns and tight, slightly orange buds. The aroma and taste is fruity and pungent. Belladonna delivers a trippy high with peaks of hallucinogenic rushes.
Belladonna thrives in all environments. While popular in California and Spain, she has performed well outdoors even in the less hospitable Dutch climate. Her resistance to mold may be in part responsible for her outdoor stamina.
Indoors, she does well in a sea of green set-up. Using this method, flowering can begin as soon as the plants are 15 cm (6 inches) tall, because they will continue to grow in the flowering cycle to 75 – 85 cm (2.5-2.75 feet). Belladonna is not very bushy, making it possible to grow plants close together.

SATORI - Mandala Seeds
We refined this strain genetically in 2006 to produce an even more reliable and powerful cross that will delight your connoisseur heart. Satori is an exceptionally easy to grow sativa. She has shown impressive hardiness against spider mites and other pests, and she possesses a good measure of mold resistance. Her slim appearance makes it possible to plant in narrow rows, or in SOG, to maximize her typical record yields even more. The firm side shoots provide highest quality cuttings. As with all our sativas she is heat resistant – an added bonus for small indoor environments and hot summer grows. The mainly sweet & fruity-spicy aroma is a real treat for the senses.
Satori grows a long head bud with chunky flowers and does not require much feeding on soil; you can almost do without feeding provided you use quality soil and sufficient pot size (approx. 2 gallon pots for adult plants under 250-600W lamps). Keep EC levels low in hydroponics for best results. All Mandala strains are extremely efficient in nutrient uptake due to their hybrid vigor and require only low EC levels/feeding to develop huge leaf, stem and bud structure. Satori is a high yielding, powerful plant with an exceptional sativa high. The heavy buds are easy to manicure, and from the resinous bud leaves you can produce finest grade hash, comparable in quality to the famous Nepalese "temple balls".
