Sativa seeds

Why buy sativa seeds

Sativa is known for its cerebral high thanks to its higher THC levels. It activates the mind which will make you feel energetic, happy and creative. This is in contrast to weed grown from Indica seeds that make the body relax. In short, sativa weed is the ideal pacer to get you in the mood. With friends. Or when you need some extra inspiration and creativity.

If you want to grow sativa seeds, make sure you have enough growing space, because these plants are on average quite large. It is therefore best to grow them outdoors. The advantage of these larger weed plants is that they provide you with large yields. Furthermore, it is good to know that some growing experience is a plus because of their longer flowering time (= more care) and susceptibility to mold.

Characteristics of sativa seeds

Sativa seeds produce cannabis with a high THC content. They contain less CBD in contrast to Indica cannabis strains. But not only does the genetics affect the THC and CBD content, it also affects the external characteristics. This is because the plants grow quite tall (2.5 to 6 feet tall) and the leaves are narrower and lighter compared to other cannabis strains. The buds are fluffy and spiky. Because of their size, they are ideal outdoor plants that provide high yields.

Origin of cannabis sativa weed seeds

Sativa seeds originated in two places of the world: in the humid areas of Southeast Asia (Thailand and Indonesia) and South America (Colombia, Peru and Mexico). The humid climate of these areas has made the Sativa a strong strain with increased resistance to mold.

For whom are sativa seeds suitable?

Sativa seeds are suitable for:

Recreational users who want to get into the mood

As described earlier, sativa cannabis gives you a happy and energetic high. This is the weed of choice if you want to smoke in company.

Advanced and experienced growers

Because of its longer flowering time, you can only harvest in autumn. And because sativa's are usually grown outdoors, there is an increased risk of them being affected by molds during this wet period. A successful harvest therefore requires extra care and attention. Experience in growing sativa is therefore a plus.

Very suitable for outdoor growers

Sativa plants grow quite large. Unless you have large indoor spaces or greenhouses, we advise you to grow sativa outdoors. If you still want to grow weed with a high THC content indoors, check our best sativa autoflower strains.

High yields

Sativa is known for its huge yields per plant. This is due to the increased germination rate and the height (and full buds) the plant reaches.
