Mexicativa
Also known as: Mexicativa Haze
Mexicativa Strain Overview
Mexicativa is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that combines Mexican landrace genetics with modern cultivation techniques. The strain's name reflects its heritage, blending 'Mexican' with 'Cativa,' though the exact origin story remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding records. Breeders developed Mexicativa by crossing traditional Mexican sativa varieties with other sativa-dominant strains, aiming to preserve the energetic, cerebral effects characteristic of Mexican cannabis while improving consistency and yield.
Visually, Mexicativa typically produces medium to tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color. The flowers often display vibrant orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds tend to be airy and less dense than many modern hybrids, maintaining characteristics of its landrace ancestry. The strain's aroma profile reflects its heritage, combining earthy, herbal notes with subtle citrus undertones.
Mexicativa is known for its clear-headed, uplifting effects that many users describe as energetic and creative without being overwhelming. The strain has gained popularity among those seeking daytime relief while maintaining functionality. Its sativa dominance makes it less common in commercial markets than many modern hybrids, but it maintains a following among enthusiasts who appreciate traditional sativa characteristics and heritage genetics.

Mexicativa Strain Growing Information
Mexicativa is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, particularly suited for experienced growers. The plants typically have a flowering time of 9-11 weeks and can grow quite tall, often reaching 5-7 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 1-1.5 ounces per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 14-18 ounces per plant in optimal conditions. Mexicativa prefers warm, dry climates similar to its Mexican heritage and does well in both indoor and outdoor settings, though outdoor cultivation in Mediterranean-like climates often produces the best results. The plants require good air circulation and may need support during flowering due to their height and relatively airy bud structure. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, especially in humid conditions.
