If we are stereotyping cannabis strains, Sativas could be described as the mighty ‘uplifters’ of the cannabis world. Thanks to their energizing and motivating effects, Sativa strains increase serotonin levels and thus help to uplift mood, boost creativity and enhance mental state by keeping the mind clear and focused. Ideal for morning, midday or mid-afternoon consumption, Sativas are often referred to as “daily strains”. Depending on their terpene profile, some Sativas can help users to wake up and get excited for the day ahead. If you’re not an early bird, a good Sativa will keep your eyes open better than coffee. Another superpower of Sativa strains is their ability to enhance creative thinking and concentration. If you need a hand in undertaking a tricky task or a bit of inspiration for creative pursuits like writing, painting or making music, a Sativa strain is the way to go.
Strong Sativa Strains: The Magic Power Of THC
From a growth perspective, Sativas may seem harder to cultivate, as they are quite sensitive to outer conditions and possible growing mistakes. Naturally tall and thin, Sativa strains may reach the height of 15' (4.5m) in an outdoor setup, and tend to develop multiple side branches with elongated leaves and buds. Especially tall and branchy Sativa plants often require training to keep them under control and improve the overall quality of the buds. Sativas prefer warm climates and may need more time to finish flowering than their Indica counterparts. On average, Sativa plants fully mature within 6 months and have a flowering stage of up to 16 weeks. This comparatively long wait time is compensated with large yields, rich terpene profiles and high potency. All of these features mean that Sativa plants bring a unique and exciting experience to the table in terms of both growing and consuming; one of the many reasons why they remain in-demand among growers all over the world.
As you browse the below list of the world’s strongest Sativa strains available in our catalog, think of your favorite Sativa strain. If you don’t yet have any, here’s a great chance to choose one.
