A collection of marijuana seeds with dominant Sativa genetics. Every enthusiast looking to enrich their collection with tropical genetics will find something here. We've gathered varieties celebrated worldwide for their taste and aroma.
We understand that all this talk about genetics, strains, heritage, and phenotypes can feel overwhelming for almost anyone. Let’s explore some characteristics and reasons you might want to add Sativa marijuana seeds to your collection.
Sativa cannabis plants look somewhat different from Indica plants. Sativa grows naturally in warm, tropical climates, enjoying long, sunny summers. Some cannabis seeds can grow into large, tree-like plants. Sativa plants are not only taller but have longer internodal spacing. They have thin, long, light-green leaves.
The biggest advantage of Sativa seeds is their popularity among collectors. High yields and high THC levels, considered valuable traits by many collectors, are why they often choose Sativas, which are highly valued strains. Another characteristic is their uplifting, sometimes even euphoric effect, which could be significant if cannabis cultivation becomes legalized in the future.
There are many Cannabis Sativa strains, but we’ve chosen the five most interesting, appreciated by experts worldwide.
The most popular strain in this category is Easy Sativa, a new type of Sativa developed by Dutch growers for Outdoor cultivation in colder climates. It’s easy to care for and matures quickly, making it popular among Dutch growers for its generous yields.
The strongest Sativa strain is Bruce Banner. It boasts one of the highest THC levels in the industry - around 27%, excellent for pain relief and instant relaxation.
Since Sativa plants tend to have high THC levels, they are known for euphoric, energizing, and uplifting effects (the so-called “energetic high”) typical of this cannabinoid. Common effects include:
Sativa typically has a short vegetative stage with very rapid growth, but its flowering stage is the longest among all varieties. The average flowering time for most Sativa-dominant strains is around 10-12 weeks, though some strains may take up to 16 weeks. Recently bred Sativa strains may flower faster, maturing in as little as 8-10 weeks, though this can alter some unique characteristics of traditional Sativa strains.
Pure Sativa strains can take up to 7-9 months from seedling to harvest. Sativa-dominant strains reward patience with huge yields and impressive THC levels.
Store Cannabis Sativa seeds in a cool, dry place to avoid unexpected germination. An airtight container placed in the fridge door is ideal. Sativa seeds can remain viable for surprisingly long periods. Properly stored, some seeds can last two decades or more without losing their value.
The size of the seed doesn’t determine the plant’s final height. The average Sativa seed is about the size of a match head, though some seeds can be as large as a pea. Even the smallest Sativa seeds can grow into tall plants with proper care.
Sativa and Indica refer to the plant's physical structure. Cannabis Indica typically has higher CBD (up to 1%) and lower THC, offering calming effects, while Sativa tends to have higher THC and less CBD, creating uplifting sensations. Indica also has a shorter flowering time than Sativa.
In terms of THC content, Cannabis Sativa generally has higher levels. However, effects are individual and depend on cannabinoid ratios and the user’s body. Less experienced users might experience more intense psychedelic effects with Sativa, which is often considered the strongest.
For long-term users, strong Sativas may intensify anxiety, while only a powerful Indica can provide a deeply narcotic high.
