Top 10 Best Sativa Strains of 2024
Ready for the best and brightest sativas from our catalogue? Our top ten list for 2024 showcases the prowess of sativa-dominant strains—cultivars known for their impressive size and bountiful harvests.
Contents:
Sativa plants have increased in favor among growers, not least of all because they are the perfect specimens for honing your craft. Many require a long growing season compared to their indica-dominant counterparts, but it comes with the trade-off of impressive stature and huge yields! And if you thought that sativa strains only offer euphoric, head-focused highs, think again. Thanks to their impressive cannabinoid content and diverse terpene profiles, even these cannabis beasts can soothe and calm the body, offering respite from the challenges of daily life.
Whether you're a fan of wake-and-baking, daytime blazing, or just kicking back, the unique selection of sativas listed below is sure to please. Get to know them all, discover your favorites, and make some room in your grow tent for our top ten sativa strains!
1. Trainwreck
Featuring a delicate blend of Mexican, Thai, and Afghan genetics, the Trainwreck weed strain delivers a euphoric, uplifting, and creative high, complemented by hints of citrus, pine, and mint. Expect Trainwreck to reach maturity in 9–10 weeks, after which indoor growers can achieve roughly 550–600g/m². Take this sativa-dominant beauty outdoors, and you could bring in exceptional hauls of up to 700g/plant, with the buds churning out a hearty THC content of 19%.
