Big Altai Sativa Express
Big Altai Sativa Express
Also known as: BASE
Overview
Big Altai Sativa Express is a predominantly sativa hybrid (90% sativa, 10% indica) developed by the Russian breeding collective Kalashnikov Seeds, representing a unique fusion of Siberian Altai genetics with African sativa and an undisclosed hybrid strain. The strain originates from the Altai Territory of Siberia, described as the warmest part of Siberia and a 'golden mine' of unique, authentic cannabis phenotypes previously unknown to the Western cannabis world. The short but sun-generous Siberian summers have shaped these plants to bloom and mature exceptionally fast, making this strain part of Kalashnikov Seeds' innovative 'Express' line - feminized strains that flower significantly faster than traditional photoperiod varieties without being autoflowering. Unlike typical sativas that can grow quite tall, Big Altai Sativa Express maintains a manageable height of 100-140cm while delivering the classic energetic sativa effects. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive pine nut and forest freshness flavor profile, delivering what users describe as a clean, powerful, and long-lasting cerebral high that charges users with vigor and energy for extended periods.
