Sativa Cannabis Seeds

Origin Cannabis Sativa

Cannabis Sativa was the first weed plant to be discovered. So it’s older than the Indica species. That could well be due to the place where Sativa mostly grows. In contrast to Indica, Sativa doesn’t grow in mountainous areas but only in locations where plenty of sun is to be found. Think here of sunny regions in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe also. Sativa weed was smuggled out of countries like Colombia and Thailand.

Initially, the plant was used as medicine. This mainly happened in Asian countries such as China and Thailand. The plant was discovered and used long before our era. Hash from the Sativa plant was already popular in Arab countries in the nineteenth century.

Sativa Weed

Sativa weed or cannabis sativa has some specific characteristics. For starters, sativa strains tend to grow taller than indica strains. You can reach heights of up to three meters and the flowering time takes a little longer. Therefore you will often have a higher yield when growing sativa weed. The leaves of a sativa weed plant also look different. They can be recognized by their finer leaves with thin fingers. Indica leaves are much broader.

Sativa strains also produce weed with different effects than indica strains. The effects are generally known for being more mentally enriching. Yet they are by no means all the same. The effects of sativa weed strains can vary enormously. However, there is often a clear dividing line with indica strains, which offer some more physically relaxing effects. Since we're talking about sativa weed here, we'll give you an overview of the most common effects further down this page.

Cannabinoids in Sativa Strains

Cannabinoids are in every type of cannabis. These are substances which can bind themselves to receptors in your body which control feelings such as appetite, pain, tiredness and many other elements.

These are substances which can change the taste and the effects.

With Sativa, you often get higher and you feel it most in your head. Out of the two types, this is the one that makes you sociable, joyful and euphoric.

Why Sativa Weed?

Indica and Sativa cannabis seeds each have their own benefits. The major reasons for choosing Sativa seeds are:

• Sativa is usually richer in CBD than Indica.
• Better for medical purposes.
• Less rich in THC than Indica. So, less stoned in your whole body.
• Larger plants with a higher yield per plant than Indica weed plants.
• Longer flowering period than Indica.
• Highly suited to outdoor cultivation (can be grown indoors too, but note: huge plants!)

Appearance of Sativa Strains

You can easily recognise Sativa weed plants. They are much bigger than plants from Indica seeds. They can achieve a good 3 metres in height and therefore grow above the fence. Their enormous size means you get a higher total yield per plant. However, if you examine the yield per m2 then Indica is the more productive. Sativa weed plants have a finer leaf than Indica weed plants. You can recognise the leaf from its elegant thin fingers with ‘sharp nails’. An Indica leaf can be as wide as that of a maple.
