Tangie
DNA Genetics has done it again! The legendary “Mandarin Dream” has been around for years, but thanks to our friend Crockett, it’s been reintroduced in an improved form. Tangie grows tall and beautiful, offers excellent yields, and delivers an outstanding energetic effect that could easily make it your favorite strain. Tangie produces extremely resinous buds with an incredible tangerine aroma, making its concentrates absolutely delicious. It’s best grown outdoors, as it matures from late September to early October. Tangie also performs well with SCROG and SOG techniques.
Big Dutch Bud
Created in the mid-90s and perfected by the early 2000s, Big Dutch Bud is the result of careful selection of the best South African strains. The outcome is a transcendent, mystical plant with a unique effect that inspires music, creativity, and deep thought. It’s ideal for artists, musicians, and poets. The buds are large, dense, and made up of many small, sharp flowers resembling fox tails. Its sativa vigor makes it perfect for LST and ScrOG growing methods. Outdoor harvest is ready by mid-October, about 10 weeks after flowering begins. Expect a subtle citrus flavor and a powerful, uplifting, and positive effect.
Headbanger
Headbanger, winner of the 2013 Amsterdam Cup, is a sativa-dominant hybrid of Sour Diesel and Biker Kush. It inherits dense, conical buds from its Kush lineage, along with a sour aroma and a vivid effect. The flowering period is long but promises very high yields. Its energizing and euphoric qualities make Headbanger a powerful mood booster, perfect for active and enjoyable experiences.
Buddha’s Sativa
Buddha’s Sativa is a cousin of White Haze and has its own demanding requirements for light and nutrients. It needs plenty of zinc, iron, nitrogen, magnesium, and well-aerated, warm soil. This strain grows quickly and vigorously, requiring ample space to develop properly. It adapts well to SCROG techniques, which help control plant height even outdoors. The aroma is piney with subtle spicy notes. Thanks to high THC levels, the effect is extremely potent and clear.
Amnesia Haze
Amnesia Haze from Soma Seeds is a complex sativa hybrid with ancient roots. It combines exquisite Asian genetics with Hawaiian and Afghan Haze varieties, resulting in amazing flavor and high THC content. The Afghan lineage shortens the flowering period and enhances both taste and productivity. This strain has won three Cannabis Cups and is a true bestseller. Growing Amnesia Haze is challenging and time-consuming, but the reward—resinous, aromatic buds—is worth every minute.
Big Altai Sativa Express
The Altai region is not only the warmest part of Siberia but also home to unique, authentic strains. The short but sunny summer forces plants to flower and bulk up quickly. A powerful African gene gives this strain a colorful, psychedelic drive that sativa lovers adore. The combination of two exceptional strains and a secret hybrid makes Big Altai Sativa Express truly unique. The effect is pure and strong, providing long-lasting energy and vitality.
Edge
If you’re a fan of strong, old-school Skunks with massive yields, Edge is the perfect choice. This sativa hybrid has a bold aroma reminiscent of the good old days. Its extended internodes allow for huge bud production. Edge prefers extra nutrients during vegetative growth and requires 8-9 weeks of flowering indoors, typically reaching up to 1.5 meters in height and yielding up to 500g/m². It also performs well outdoors in temperate climates, maturing by mid to late September. Expect a powerful, memorable effect!
Bubblegum Blue
Blue-tinted bubblegum bubbles blown by high school girls on a stroll catch the eye, and these beautiful buds attract growers. That’s the inspiration behind this outstanding sativa strain from the sunniest seed bank around. Unlike its overseas relatives, which provided the genetics and name, the Crimean Bubblegum is much stronger: the plants are twice as robust, and yields are 30% higher. The THC content is impressive, and the aroma and color will appeal to any cannabis enthusiast.
Super Lemon Haze
This sativa-dominant hybrid of Lemon Skunk and Super Silver Haze is a two-time Cannabis Cup winner from Green House Seeds. True to its name, it’s both wonderful and productive! Its pronounced lemon aroma sets it apart from other citrus strains. The flavor is rich, like sweet candy, and the smoke is thick and aromatic. The effect is light and easygoing, a bit milder than other sativas, but uniquely stimulating. It’s the perfect strain for parties, concerts, or just hanging out with close friends.
Strong Lemon
Strong Lemon is the result of years of crossing various Haze types with classic “lemon” strains to achieve its signature flavor. It delivers a very powerful sativa effect, sure to please even the most discerning sativa fans. The plant is demanding to grow but always rewards dedicated growers with resinous, aromatic buds.
