Myrcene (moderate-to-high; earthy, musky, herbal base notes); Caryophyllene (moderate-to-high; spicy, peppery, woody accents); Terpinolene (significant in some phenotypes, 45-60%; fresh, herbaceous, defining 'sativa terpene')

Pinene - alpha and beta (pine freshness, mental alertness); Limonene (citrus - lemon and orange, mood-enhancing); Linalool (lavender-like floral notes, calming without sedation); Ocimene, Geraniol, Humulene, Sabinene, Borneol (trace amounts; mint, herb, wood accents; borneol can reach up to 1%)

Mental: Crystalline clarity; organized rather than scattered thoughts; enhanced pattern recognition and lateral thinking; improved verbal fluidity; easier access to flow states; mild psychedelic qualities at higher doses (enhanced colors, shifted time perception). Physical: No significant body load or sedation; lighter, more motivated to move; reduced physical discomfort without heavy analgesic effects; reduced appetite (from elevated THCV). Mood: Euphoric elevation; enhanced social engagement; creative catalyst.

2-3 hours at full intensity with gradual taper rather than abrupt crash. Comedown gentle - mental clarity softens to baseline, energy normalizes, minimal post-high fatigue. Does not typically disrupt sleep cycles if consumed earlier in day.

Effects noticeable within 5-10 minutes of inhalation. Onset feels bright and immediate with mental fog lifting. Initial effects center in head with gentle pressure behind eyes and forehead, lifting sensation. High builds progressively in waves over 20-30 minutes rather than hitting at once. Each wave adds depth: mental clarity and focus, creative ideation and pattern recognition, euphoric mood elevation, social engagement. Effects continue intensifying with surprisingly high ceiling; amplify with each inhalation during session.

Dry mouth and eyes (common); Potential paranoia or anxiety at higher doses or in susceptible individuals; Mild psychedelic effects may be overwhelming for inexperienced users; Headaches with excessive consumption; Reduced appetite may be unwanted for some; May interfere with sleep if consumed within 4-6 hours of bedtime

Sativa-Dominant Hybrid

Evening wind-down or sleep preparation; Activities requiring extreme precision or rapid decision-making; Operating machinery or driving; Stressful social situations or unfamiliar settings for those susceptible to paranoia; Large, chaotic environments at higher doses; Individuals seeking heavy physical sedation or pain relief; Those who cannot manage appetite suppression

Bred by Simon of Serious Seeds in 1993; introduced 1994. Origins remain deliberately undisclosed. Believed to contain Southeast Asian genetics (Cambodian and Thai landraces) with possible Colombian sativa and subtle Afghani indica influence. One theory suggests derived from 'The Mango' strain passed to both Serious Seeds and Sagarmatha Seeds. Underwent breeding revisions in 1998 and 2000 to restore original sativa-dominant character after yield-focused indica introduction dulled effects. Not derived from traditional Haze genetics despite speculation.

THC: 15-22% (typically 18-19%); THCV: 0.8-2.5% (elevated; contributes energizing, appetite-suppressing effects); CBD: 0.1-0.5% (minimal, typically below 0.5%); CBG: 0.5-1.2% (moderate; enhances mental clarity); CBN: ~1% (trace, varies by harvest timing and cure)

Super Silver Haze (similar award-winning sativa lineage, energizing cerebral effects, citrus-spice profile; slightly more balanced, less psychedelic, broader availability); Durban Poison (pure sativa, clear-headed energy, sweet-spicy aromatics; faster flowering 8-9 weeks, more linear high, anise-licorice flavor); Jack Herer (legendary sativa-dominant hybrid, uplifting clarity, pine-spice flavor; more balanced sativa/indica, fuller body effects, shorter flowering, less psychedelic); Green Crack (intensely energizing, laser focus, productivity; more affordable/accessible, shorter duration, mango-citrus flavor, less cerebral complexity); Amnesia Haze (complex Haze hybrid, soaring cerebral effects, extended flowering, terpene complexity; heavier/more disorienting, stronger paranoia tendency, earthier flavor)

Excellent mold resistance; Tolerates humidity better than many sativas; Responds well to training (SCROG, topping) but doesn't require extensive defoliation; Performs well with moderate nutrient levels and organic growing methods; Suitable for growers of various experience levels with proper vertical space management

70-90 days (10-13 weeks). Shortest phenotypes finish around 10 weeks; others push toward 12-13 weeks. Extended timeline compared to indica-dominant strains.

Indoor: 300-500g/m² under optimal conditions; Outdoor: 15-20 ounces (425-570g) per plant, can exceed in ideal climates; Yields often exceed expectations for sativa structure; Dense, resinous bud structure compensates for airy appearance

Classic sativa architecture: significant vertical stretch during early flowering (2-3x growth from flip to finish); Minimal leaf coverage with single-blade leaves rather than fan leaves; Sparse branching with elongated internodal spacing; Christmas tree silhouette; Distinctive spiral bud formations along branches; Indoor height: 5-8 feet without training; Outdoor: can exceed 10 feet in optimal conditions; Excellent light penetration throughout canopy

Bright green coloration with amber pistils scattered throughout; Extreme trichome coverage - frosted appearance, feels brittle when dry; Clear spiral bud formation with individual calyxes building into pine-cone structures; Intense aroma development in final 3 weeks - pungent skunk with spicy-sweet complexity; Well-cured flowers maintain aromatic intensity with smooth, non-harsh smoke; Distinctive hoppy quality in properly processed material
