Brazilian landrace strains are the wild cannabis varieties that flourish in the Brazilian Amazon’s mountainous and rain forest habitats. The majority of Brazilian landrace strains exhibit sativa traits, including an abundance of long leaves and the capacity to grow quite tall. A common characteristic of peppery, spiced-earth flavors with a citrus fruit terpene palate is reported by some online growers. Brazilian sativa strains gained robust resistance to pests and diseases as landrace varieties as a result of many years of genetic stabilization. Although they thrive indoors, cultivars prefer the humid, outdoor environment of their native Amazon. Brazilian landraces, according to cultivators, take longer to flower; they typically do so in 9–10 weeks when grown indoors and by the end of November when grown outdoors. Additionally, online resources advise routine pruning to guarantee proper light exposure at the lower branches. Brazilian landrace strains should yield a moderate amount of fluffy, spicily green nugs when fully mature. Available only in seed form.

The average flowering period for Cake Mix is between 56 and 70 days indoors and between early and mid-October outdoors. In ideal circumstances, it is known to produce medium-sized yields. Cake Mix thrives both inside and outside. Cake Mix clones are offered.

It should come as no surprise that two different strains of Midnight exist on the cannabis market, given its enigmatic and captivating name. MIDNIGHT BY TIKUN OLAM The strains used to produce Midnight by Israel-based breeder Tikun Olam are a trade secret that is only known to the business. Online sources claim that the strain has a blueberry-earthy aroma and a faintly herbal aftertaste. With 8% THC and 11% CBD, Midnight may have lessened psychoactive effects, in line with Tikun Olam’s efforts to develop cannabis for medical purposes. There isn’t much growing information available because the company keeps all information under lock and key, with the exception of Midnight’s availability. The buds have a coating of sugary trichomes and are colored green and purple. Given that Midnight was created for, it should have high yields.

A rare 100% sativa strain called Durban Haze was allegedly developed by an unidentified breeder in Georgia. It is a hybrid of Haze and the potent Durban Poison. Spicy herbs, earth, and tart fruit are the most frequently reported scents of Durban Haze. And it is rumored to have a similar flavor with a stronger woody note.

The Jazz cultivar was developed by Dr. Greenthumb using unknown genetics. Online sources assert that a Mexican sativa landrace is where Jazz got its start. Lemon, earth, and pepper are the most frequently mentioned aromas of the Jazz strain. Citrus and spices are said to be the flavors. Jazz is a mostly sativa strain that grows tall, slender plants that can reach heights of 12 feet. The strain is resistant to the majority of natural adversities and pests because of its landrace heritage. The strain grows well both inside and outside and matures surprisingly quickly for its size. Under natural sunlight, jazz blooms in 56 to 63 days, or by early October. Jazz seeds and clones are available.

Deep roots in the Sativa landrace gene pool can be found in Durban Poison. Ed Rosenthal, one of the first American international strain hunters, first became aware of the strain’s historical phenotypes in the late 1970s. A fast flowering strain was discovered by Rosenthal in the port city of Durban while he was in South Africa looking for new genetics, according to cultivation lore. When Rosenthal got home to the United States, he used his own method of selective breeding on his recently imported seeds before starting to share. Rosenthal gave some of his brand-new South African seeds to Mel Frank, and the rest, as they say, is cannabis history. The Sativa landrace gene pool is deeply rooted in Durban Poison. One of America’s first international strain hunters, Ed Rosenthal, became aware of the strain’s historical phenotypes in the late 1970s. Rosenthal, who is credited with discovering the fast flowering strain, is said to have been in South Africa looking for new genetics when he came across it in the port city of Durban. After reaching his American home, Rosenthal used his newly imported seeds to carry out his own form of selective breeding before starting to distribute. Mel Frank received some of Rosenthal’s brand-new South African seeds, and the rest is cannabis history. The dense, compact buds of Durban Poison are typical of landrace Indica varieties, but the elongated, conical shape of the flowers is more typical of a Sativa. Durban Poison needs lots of space when grown indoors or in a greenhouse so that it can grow side branches. Outside cultivation of Durban Poison gives this plant the chance to realize its full potential. Durban Poison needs thorough trellising whether it is grown indoors or outdoors to support its abundant flower production. The Dutch Passion Seed Company sells both regular and feminized Durban Poison seeds. In the Medical Sativa division of the Denver High Times Cannabis Cup in 2013 and 2014, Durban Poison took second place.

The Green House Seed Company in Amsterdam produces the Sativa-dominant hybrid known as Super Silver Haze. Its name originally belonged to a plant created by breeders Scott Blakey, also known as Shantibaba, Howard Marks, also known as Mr. Nice, and Neville Schoenmaker. After leaving the seed company, they reworked the strain and gave it the name Silver Haze. According to Green House, Sam the Skunkman’s Northern Lights #5 was crossed with Shiva to create the current iteration of the strain. At the High Times Cannabis Cup, the strain won first place three times in a row: first place overall in 1998 and 1999, as well as first place in the hydro category in 1998. The strain reportedly has a strong, quick-acting Sativa-like effect as well as an instantly recognizable, spicy-peppery terpene profile, according to the seed company. It had 19.11% THC, 0.17% CBD, and 0.74% CBN in the test. It is advised for reducing pain and increasing appetite. The strain blooms for 70–77 days, growing tall with long branches, bright green leaves, and both white and orange stigma hairs. According to Green House, the outdoor harvest occurs in the Northern Hemisphere around mid-October and in the Southern Hemisphere around mid-April. Additionally, it suggests Low-Stress Training (LST) and Screen of Green (ScrOG) for indoor grows as well as equatorial, tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates for outdoor growing. Green House offers a strain of Super Silver Haze that has a high CBD content in addition to the original strain, as a result of breeding it with a high CBD plant. The seed supplier offers both the original and high-CBD varieties in feminized seed form.

The landrace Hawaiian sativa is thought to be the direct ancestor of the cultivar Aloha, which has origins that are unknown. Citrus, pineapple, and herbs are the most frequently mentioned aromas of the Aloha strain. Oranges and tropical fruit are said to taste like it. On Aloha, there isn’t a lot of public cultivation data. It grows above 10 feet and thrives in outdoor gardens because it is a sativa landrace strain. Aloha likely has a longer flowering season, lasting up to 84 days indoors and beginning in early November outdoors. Aloha cannot be obtained as seeds or clones.

In order to create a fast-flowering hybrid with higher yields, the breeders at Barney’s Farm crossed OG Kush and Phantom Cookies to create Phantom OG. According to Barney’s Farm, it has a nutty berry flavor and an earthy citrus aroma. The THC content of this strain is estimated by Amsterdam Seed Center to be between 15-20%. Phantom OG’s Sativa genetics help it to grow tall, while its Indica ancestry gives it cold resistance and a short eight-week flowering time. It grows both indoors and outside, and the latter is ready for harvest in October. Tight clusters of light green buds with orange pistils and trichome-coated surfaces grow on large, central colas. Both the seed bank and the breeder report high yields.
