Salvador
Salvador Strain Overview
Salvador is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by the Spanish seed bank Kannabia. The strain was created through selective breeding of landrace genetics from South America and Africa, specifically drawing from Colombian and South African sativa varieties. Kannabia aimed to produce a strain that preserved the energetic, cerebral effects characteristic of classic sativas while offering improved cultivation characteristics for growers in various climates.
The strain is named after Salvador Dalí, the famous Spanish surrealist artist, reflecting its creative and mind-expanding effects. Salvador plants typically display classic sativa morphology with elongated, slender leaves and loose, airy bud structure. The flowers are often light to medium green with occasional orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The strain has gained particular popularity in European markets where sativa varieties are appreciated for their daytime effects.
Salvador is noted for its relatively fast flowering time compared to many pure sativa landraces, making it more accessible to cultivators while maintaining the uplifting cerebral effects that sativa enthusiasts seek. The strain has remained relatively consistent in its genetic expression since its development, though some phenotype variation exists depending on growing conditions and specific seed batches.

Salvador Strain Growing Information
Salvador is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach considerable heights, often growing between 1.5-2.5 meters tall, requiring adequate vertical space. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outside. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing airy but resinous buds. Growers should provide good air circulation and monitor humidity to prevent mold, particularly in dense indoor setups. The plants respond well to training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height and improve light penetration.
