What are Sativa Strains?

‘Sativa’ is the botanical name given to a type of weed variety. The other two types are indica and hybrid. Hybrids come from cross-cultivating both species. However, sativas vs indicas are like apples and oranges in terms of their characteristics and beneficial effects.

Sativa Strains Chart

The cannabis sativa strains chart below explains key things to know about the characteristics, uses, and benefits of this marijuana type:

• Origin: Central Asia. Other locations are South and Central America, and Africa
• Cultivation Climate: Sativa is typically grown in warmer climates.
• Flowering Time: Approximately 10-12 Weeks
• Appearance: Tall, thin, lanky, with thin light green leaves. Sativa plants grow taller than indicas–as tall as 18 feet.
• CBD & THC(%): Sativa strains tend to have a higher THC, low CBD ratio than indica. E.g., THC/CBD 15:1:%
• Aromas and Flavors: Sweet, sour, pine, floral, diesel
• Effects: Energizing, uplifting, and cerebral high
• Benefits: Works well for enhancing physical performance, productivity, focus, and boosting mood and appetite
• Best time to use: Daytime use is recommended because of the cerebral high and energy sativa produces.

Pure sativa and sativa dominant strains are sought after for their ability to boost energy, mood, and appetite. Medical marijuana patients experiencing fatigue, depression, or appetite loss may notice relief from the best sativa strains.
