What do sativa marijuana seeds look like?
Cannabis seeds from sativa strains don't necessarily differ from non-sativa seeds. It all depends on the specific strain you choose, and the genetics of said strain.
For a general rule of thumb, cannabis seeds typically exhibit darker hues, ranging from black to red, brown, or gray, and possess a lustrous, waxen sheen that reflects light. Often, the seeds feature stripes with a resemblance to those found on tigers or dark blotchy patterns. In terms of shape, the majority of marijuana seeds have an oval droplet-like appearance.
Are sativa cannabis seeds feminized?
Most of our sativa seeds are feminized seeds. That means that these cannabis seeds only grow female plants. Feminized sativa seeds are a great option when you want a guaranteed harvest, without male plants messing up this prospect.
Why is this important? If you have a male and a female sativa plant in one grow room, the male plant can pollinate the female. This means the female marijuana plant will focus her energy on growing cannabis seeds, and not on those buds you really wanted to consume. This becomes a very real possibility if you pick regular sativa seeds.
So, in short, if you want lots of sativa buds, you should always choose feminized sativa seeds. Our autoflower sativa seeds are also always an option, as those are feminized as well.
What are the fastest growing sativa strains?
Talking about autoflower seeds, our fastest growing sativa strain is Black Jack autoflower. Like most autoflowers, the vegetative stage is only about three to four weeks long, plus another six to seven weeks of flowering time sets you back between two and two and a half months. As she does not grow very tall, unlike most sativa plants, she is also a great option for indoor growers.
Our fastest growing photoperiod sativa strain is Cherry AK feminized, with only 49-56 days of flowering time. You don't have to wait very long for that cherry-flavored uplifting high.
Is it better to grow sativa or indica marijuana seeds?
The choice to grow sativa or indica cannabis seeds is a personal one, and should be based on a spectrum of different factors. In the following situations, sativa marijuana seeds are the better option, when compared to indica strains:
-
You want to grow a tall cannabis tree in your outdoor garden
-
You want a more cerebral high, with uplifting effects
-
You are a wake-and-bake type of cannabis consumer
-
You are looking to spark your creativity
If these situations do not fit your needs, you might want to try growing hybrid or indica seeds instead.
Where do sativa seeds come from?
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.
What is the best place to grow sativa cannabis seeds?
If you want to grow sativa cannabis 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.
As the original landrace sativa seeds were used to be grown in tropical environments, sativa strains tend to perform better in warmer climates.
Do you sell pure Sativa Seeds?
We have two strains on offer that could be considered our most pure sativa seeds. The first is multiple Cannabis Cup winner Chocolope, and Bob Marley's favorite 'herb' Lamb's Bread.

Which sativa seeds grow the heaviest-yielding plants?
Jack Widow is the sativa strain with the highest outdoor yield, an astonishing 1000 grams per plant can be grown outside in the optimal environment and growing conditions.

In prime conditions, this sativa dominant strain can deliver you 1200 grams per plant! So if you want an even higher outdoor harvest, and don't mind a bit more indica genetics in your grow, this is a great option.
Indoor growers, your heaviest yielding sativa cannabis seeds are Amnesia Haze x White Widow feminized seeds. With a little experience, and the right settings in your tent, you should be able to yield a maximum of 700 grams per square meter in your grow space!
