Mextiza
Also known as: Mexican Tiza, Mextiza Sativa
Mextiza Strain Overview
Mextiza is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that represents a modern interpretation of traditional Mexican landrace genetics. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to preserve and enhance the characteristics of indigenous Mexican cannabis varieties while improving consistency and potency. Its name combines 'Mex' from Mexican and 'Tiza' (Spanish for chalk), though the exact origin of this naming convention remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles.
Visually, Mextiza plants typically display classic sativa characteristics with elongated, slender leaves and airy bud structure. The flowers often exhibit a light green coloration with occasional orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The strain is noted for its relatively long flowering period compared to many modern hybrids, reflecting its landrace heritage. Growers appreciate Mextiza for its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions.
Mextiza has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts seeking traditional sativa experiences with enhanced potency. The strain represents ongoing efforts within the cannabis community to preserve genetic diversity and historical cultivars. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, Mextiza maintains a dedicated following, particularly among those interested in heirloom and landrace cannabis varieties.

Mextiza Strain Growing Information
Mextiza is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for experienced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 10-12 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach considerable heights, often exceeding 2 meters (6-7 feet) when grown outdoors with optimal conditions. Indoor cultivation requires adequate vertical space and training techniques to manage height.
Yields are generally moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. Mextiza prefers warm, dry climates similar to its Mexican heritage and demonstrates good resistance to mold and pests. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Growers should note that Mextiza may require additional support during flowering due to its sativa structure and potentially heavy colas.
