Let’s delve a little into the anatomy of the Sativa strains. Genetically, the Sativa plant has long and slender leaves that taper towards the tip of the leaf. The chlorophyll density is much lower on the Sativa leaves themselves, and therefore appear lighter in colour. The buds of Sativa are longer and threadlike with visible gaps, appearing thinner and not as dense. The colour of these buds are reddish, or a deep orange hue. The THC ( delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol) is the component of the plant that gives the ‘high’. This high is also known to reduce pain, is anti-nauseant, can increase appetite, and uplift mood. The ratio of THC is higher in Sativa, enabling it to produce the energy inducing components more than with the Indica plant. However, the CBD (cannabidiol), the component of the plant that aids relaxing is also known to relieve pain, eliminate nausea, is anti-inflammatory, reduces anxiety, and takes control of seizures. The ratio of CBD is less in Sativa which is why it stimulates energetic feelings. The Sativa plant grows faster than other species of cannabis plants but it takes longer to fully-develop (between ten to sixteen weeks). This is another factor that makes it important to choose your supplier wisely. If you were to ask those in the know, they’ll tell you that the best sativa strains in Canada are from experts who know exactly when to harvest… they’ll wait till it’s just right to pick. Sativa grows to a length of about twenty feet in an outdoor setting. The light requirement for the Sativa plant is higher than other species and it enjoys a warmer climate. This is why, if you trace it back to its origins, you’ll find that it was cultivated mainly in countries that are closer to the equator. Cultivators of sativa in Canada today create a setting that is humid and warm, ensuring perfect climatic conditions for maximum growth and quality. When describing the smell or fragrance of the Sativa plant, we would say that is has an amalgamation of earthy, sweet, yet citrusy aroma.
