Mexican Sativa

Description de Sensi Seeds

Overview

Mexican Sativa Feminized is a high-yielding, easy-to-grow feminized sativa cannabis strain, ideal for outdoor cultivation even in cold climates. This strain is a new expression of the popular Mexican Sativa, featuring vigorous growth, impressive height, and elegant, elongated buds. Its genetics originate from the Southern Mexican region of Oaxaca, and it has been adapted for northern climates by blending it with the robust African sativa Durban. A dash of a hash plant cultivar from Pakistan reduced flowering time and increased cold resistance. The most outstanding offspring were back-crossed with the original Oaxacan to fully express its unique traits.

Phenotypes

Mexican Sativa Feminized exhibits a slight variation in phenotypes. Two are classic sativa shapes, tall with long internodal gaps and long, slender buds. The third, less common phenotype is an indica-oriented expression, with a more xmas-tree shape and somewhat chunkier buds. Regardless of the phenotype, the plants respond well to training, tying down, and super-cropping, which can further increase yield.

Growing Characteristics

Mexican Sativa Feminized is a versatile strain that thrives both indoors and outdoors. The buds are mould-resistant due to their loose structure. However, cultivators should be aware that these plants can easily quadruple in size during the ten-week flowering period, which can result in trees over two metres tall in warm or temperate areas. Indoors, this can be controlled by shortening the vegetation period and using pinching out to create a bushier growth pattern. The lateral branches respond well to this technique.

Flavors and Aroma

The flavours of Mexican Sativa Feminized are an exciting blend of sandalwood, floral, and pine. During the vegetation and flowering periods, the odour is subtle. Once the flowers are properly cured, the layers of scent become more pronounced. When consumed, the flavours have a similar profile with added complexity, featuring topnotes of liquorice and citrus, and basenotes of earthy, woody spice.

Effects

Mexican Sativa Feminized delivers a powerful, energetic high, making it a great choice for physical activities. Most users report strong feelings of euphoria, often accompanied by (sometimes uncontrollable) giggling. Inexperienced consumers are advised to start slow to reduce the chance of paranoia and increase enjoyment, especially if the plants have had a lot of light and gained in strength. There is also an element of relaxation in the effect, derived from the hash plant part of its heritage, which tempers the high with a pleasant, gentle body-stone.

Medical Uses

Mexican Sativa Feminized is a great variety for daytime use, with effects that are satisfyingly long-lasting, making it even better value for money. It is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced cultivators. Gardeners in cold and cool climates especially enjoy the hardiness and resilience of this strain. Its affordability also makes it a popular choice among growers.
