St. Vincent Island
Also known as: Caribbean Sativa, Vincentian
St. Vincent Island Strain Overview
St. Vincent Island is a rare landrace sativa strain originally cultivated on the volcanic Caribbean island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. These plants grow vigorously and reach great heights quickly, with giant serrated first leaves indicating the tremendous vigor locked within this super sativa line. Most phenotypes are giants with wide internodal spaces, featuring small buds scattered throughout the branches that are airy with few leaves composed of 5, 7, 9 and up to 11 leaflets of beautiful lime green, while others display very dark intense green foliage - the darkest green seen in sativa collections. The strain emanates distinctive aromas of chocolate and small ripe mountain papayas, with an incense and citrus flavor that lingers in the throat for several seconds. St. Vincent is the second most prolific cannabis producer in the Caribbean after Jamaica, with commercial cultivation beginning in the 1970s when the island's inaccessible hilly volcanic interior, rich soil, and numerous empty islands proved ideal for cannabis cultivation. Recent scientific testing has revealed that wild-grown marijuana from St. Vincent contains extremely high THC levels ranging from 19-25.5 percent, with the highest recorded at 25.5% - remarkably achieved without controlled growing environments.

St. Vincent Island Strain Growing Information
Vegetative stage lasts 12-16 weeks for different phenotypes, with flowering time of 12+ weeks. Plants can reach heights up to 4 meters in optimal conditions. These plants are powerful, vigorous, fast growing and resistant to pests and diseases, making them ideal for high humidity environments. They have been successfully cultivated at 1450 meters above sea level and show no problems growing at different altitudes. While climate conditions are perfect for local strains, cultivation of foreign genetics can be challenging due to different pest pressure and diseases such as molds that don't exist in North America or Europe. Local varieties are much more tolerant of these conditions. Suitable for outdoor cultivation in tropical climates, requires experienced growers due to long flowering time and large size.
