What is the Mexican Sativa strain?
Mexican Sativa is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Mexican Sativa is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created by Sensi Seeds through crossing a renowned Mexican landrace from Oaxaca with Durban Poison and a Pakistani Hash Plant. The breeders then mixed the resulting hybrid with the original Oaxacan lineage to maintain the great characteristics from the Mexican landrace. This strain was specifically developed to provide growers with a landrace-like strain that could flourish in northern climates while maintaining the desirable traits of traditional Mexican sativas.
Mexican Sativa represents an important piece of cannabis history, connecting modern cultivation to the legendary Mexican landrace strains that were highly prized in the 1960s-1990s. The strain produces dark green colored dense buds covered with orange hairs and has a moderate THC level. The flowering time is relatively fast at 50-70 days, which is a trait passed down from the hash-plant genetics. Mexican Sativa grows really tall in height and is considered primarily an outdoor strain, as it's hard to contain the sheer size in indoor settings, though it can be managed indoors with proper training techniques.

How do you grow Mexican Sativa?
Mexican Sativa provides medium-sized yields and is considered an outdoor strain due to its tall growth, making it difficult to contain indoors. The flowering time lasts 50-70 days. Outdoors, this strain can reach up to 200 cm (6.5 ft), especially in warm climates, while indoors its height can be managed with techniques like topping, SCROG, or SOG. Easy to grow and forgiving of forgetting to water, not nutrient hungry, and handles hot weather with no plant stress. The strain has impressive resistance to pests and diseases, making it forgiving for growers who might not have ideal conditions or extensive experience. It does exceptionally well in Mediterranean climates with long summers but can also flourish in colder, northern regions thanks to its Pakistani and South African genetic influences. During the flowering phase, plants grow vigorously, so sufficient ceiling height is crucial. Height gain can be reduced by keeping the growth phase short, and the plants respond well to thinning, SOG, SCROG, lollipopping, and supercropping techniques.
