Actual Sativa
Actual Sativa
Overview
Actual Sativa is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Actual Seeds, representing a cross between South African sativa genetics and a selected strain from Tibet. The strain was bred by combining a 'South African sativa beauty' with a 'very great strain from Tibet who was selected and upgraded before,' creating a unique genetic profile that reflects both African and Asian landrace influences. This strain exhibits typical sativa characteristics with two distinct phenotypes: one displaying a long, compact structure with fast flowering traits, and another showing a more stretched, elongated growth pattern while maintaining rapid flowering properties. The Tibetan genetics likely contribute to the strain's adaptation to high-altitude growing conditions and unique terpene profile, while the South African lineage provides the classic sativa energizing effects. As with many landrace-influenced strains, Actual Sativa represents an effort to preserve and enhance traditional genetics that have been naturally adapted to specific geographic regions over centuries.

Growing Information
Actual Sativa can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 70 days. The strain exhibits sativa-dominant growth patterns with two distinct phenotypes available. Phenotype #1 shows long, stretched growth typical of traditional sativas, while phenotype #2 displays a more compact structure while maintaining sativa dominance. Both phenotypes are noted for fast flowering despite their sativa genetics. Indoor growers should account for potential height and stretch during flowering. The strain appears to be well-suited for experienced growers who can manage traditional sativa growing characteristics. Regular seeds only - no feminized versions have been made available by the breeder.
