St. Vincent Island
Also known as: Caribbean Sativa, Vincentian
What is the St. Vincent Island strain?
St. Vincent Island is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.5% THC, known for its long lasting effects and chocolate and citrus flavor profile.
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.
