Sweet Sativa Special
Also known as: Sweet Sativa, SSS
Sweet Sativa Special Strain Overview
Sweet Sativa Special is a predominantly sativa cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to emphasize uplifting cerebral effects while maintaining a pleasant flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2000s from boutique breeders seeking to create a daytime-friendly sativa with reduced anxiety potential compared to some traditional sativa varieties. Breeders reportedly crossed several classic sativa landraces with modern hybrids to achieve its balanced characteristics.
The strain is distinguished by its elongated, spear-shaped buds that display a vibrant green coloration with occasional amber pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance, while the leaves often exhibit subtle purple hues when grown in cooler conditions. The plant structure is typical of sativa-dominant varieties, with tall, lanky growth patterns and relatively loose bud formation compared to dense indica varieties.
Sweet Sativa Special has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its reliable effects profile and approachable nature. While not as historically significant as some landrace sativas, it represents a modern interpretation of sativa genetics optimized for contemporary cultivation and consumption preferences. The strain's popularity has remained consistent in certain regional markets, particularly among users seeking functional daytime effects without overwhelming intensity.

Sweet Sativa Special Strain Growing Information
Sweet Sativa Special is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks indoors and typically finishes in late October to early November outdoors. Indoor yields are moderate at 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The plants prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and good air circulation. Indoor cultivation requires adequate vertical space as plants can stretch significantly during the flowering phase, often reaching 150-200 cm indoors and 200-300 cm outdoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
