Sativas grow tall and lanky, stretch hard in flower, and generally take longer to finish than indicas, in exchange for effects usually described as energetic and cerebral. Outdoors or in a high-ceilinged room they can be spectacular; in a small tent they demand training.
Every strain below is classified sativa or sativa-dominant in our catalog, with prices from the seed banks we track normalized to price per seed for honest pack-to-pack comparison.
Amsterdam's own Barney's Farm developed this purebred heirloom sativa strain that was named for the beloved cannabis advocate Dr. Lester Grinspoon, who in the 1970s fought against mainstream misinformation about cannabis. Dr. Grinspoon is a strain that reflects the creative thinking and focus of its namesake, as this strain produces a totally euphoric, energizing, and surprisingly clear-headed cerebral effect enjoyed by any sativa lover. One of the unique things about this strain is the shape of its buds, which tend to look like huge bundles of small berries hanging from the strong stems of these plants. The spiced citrus fragrance of these buds is similarly unusual, though the flavor is said to be quite pleasant.
A combination of Sour Diesel, Headband, and OG Kush, 3 Kings is a heavily sativa-dominant hybrid of three of the most distinguished marijuana strains that combines the best features of each. The result is approximately two-thirds sativa and one-third indica. Cannabinoid Content 3 Kings is especially popular for medicinal marijuana use due to its high CBC content, which helps to boost mood and reduce stress. At the same time, it contains sufficient THCV to assist with headaches. The THC content is typically around 18.5 percent, more than enough to be fairly strong. Because of the high cannabinoid content in 3 Kings, this strain is best for those who already have some experience with marijuana. First-time smokers may be surprised by the punch. Effects Taking 3 Kings brings in the feelings of relaxation and happiness. Uplifting feelings and euphoria typically accompanies this. Many people who consume 3 Kings also experience creativity when doing so. Those with experience using 3 Kings are impressed with the extent of the high and the speed with which it comes. The high begins in the head right away and settling in there. From there, it moves onto the rest of the body, where it is intense and long-lasting. When the high comes to an end, it does so nicely and slowly with evenness. Others who smoke 3 Kings say they start with a feeling of intense happiness and relaxation before moving on to the urge to do something creative or physical. The energy associated with this strain is driven and focused. Because of its varied parentage, 3 Kings provides a number of effects, including relieving stress, chronic pain, depression, PTSD, anxiety, nausea, and fatigue. It can also help overcome a lack of appetite. Overall, however, this strain provides the most positive effects with relaxation and mental conditions, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, compared to the effects of pain. The cannabinoid content of 3 Kings makes it a great choice for daytime use, as it also provides an all-natural energy boost. This also makes it good for those who like to do activities when smoking. The most common negative effect of 3 Kings is dry mouth, followed by dry eyes. Both of these are to be expected from nearly any cannabis strain. Although rare, a handful of people experience dizziness, anxiety, or paranoia when consuming this strain. Aroma and Flavor The smell is pungent and has earthy undertones reminiscent of its parent Sour Diesel. Thanks to the combination of terpenes in 3 Kings, it is peppery and citrusy with a hoppy element, as well. Sometimes, 3 Kings comes with a skunky smell. As a rule, the skunkier this strain smells, the more potent it will be. The first taste tends to have the aroma of sandalwood or fibrous soil, which it gets from OG. This is followed by Sour Diesel’s crisp diesel taste that includes a hint of lemon. Similarly, you will most likely notice the earthiness when you just sniff the buds or first open your package of 3 Kings. Breaking it open, however, shifts the aroma to the diesel of its Sour Diesel roots, but with piney hints. Appearance This plant grows well both inside and outside and produces medium-sized nugs that are completely coated in sticky trichomes and rust-colored pistils. The buds are green with the heavy coat of trichomes showing off the potency of the strain. You will also notice plenty of hairs throughout. Other Information to Know 3 Kings also has a child strain, CloudCap, which also has parents Huckleberry and Pre-98 Bubba.
A clone-only strain of Super Silver Haze, this bud was somewhat disturbingly named as a description of the very pungent smell of ammonia that this strain is known for. Despite what can be an overwhelming scent, many patients enjoy this cannabis strain for its euphoric, energetic, and sociable effects, though it has a tendency to induce paranoia in certain users, particularly those who have a low tolerance for THC since this strain has been shown to test over 20% THC.
Sensi Seeds developed the sativa-dominant hybrid Jack Flash by combining the famous strains Jack Herer, Haze, and Super Skunk together into an energetic and buzzy hybrid. Jack Flash is enjoyed by sativa lovers for the intensely energetic head high this strain produces, giving its patient an uplifted head effect and a mellow body buzz. Jack Flash's gorgeous flowers are a light green color, brightened by the chunky gem-like trichomes that lay along the surface of the bud, alongside amber-colored pistils that twist between calyxes. This strain's flowers produce a pungent, earthy aroma, that becomes sweet and citrusy when this strain is vaporized or smoked.
