Sativas are easy to grow is a pretty bold statement. Landrace unworked sativas are much harder to grow and flower times going 12-26 wks can make it almost impossible for some lats to even finish outside. Morroccan Belinda is a 7-9 wk sativa from ace that has amazing tric production and does well. In general sativas are harder to grow. Imo at least
I have some Tajikistan x heirloom Afghani that does great in desert. Also got Swaziland gold, highland Guerrero some Santa Marta Columbian gokd even Turkish hash plants. The highland would grow grat I bet outside in vegas
Hi
@420always420 i dont want to take over this thread but i'll answer anyway.
Yep landrace sativas are very easy to grow thats my experience.
There is something special about them, so strong, wild, almost untouchable.
Obviously that doesnt mean you can grow a 20 week sativa in Alaska.
Since i moved to Spain i tried several landrace sativas, Malawi, Panama, Honduras, Thai, Oaxaca, Acapulco Gold, also Haze and some other sativa crosses.
Each time same result, very easy to grow, dont need much food, super resistant to rain, storm and insects.
No budrot, no mildew, no spidermite, and most of all they seem immune against the relentless attacks of the bud eating caterpillars.
Almost every year we have an extreme weather phenomenon over here called la Gota Fria, usually in autumn, heavy rain for about a week, most indicas and hybrids suffer from budrot, some have to be harvested early.
But the landrace sativas seem to love the rain, no problem at all.
I've never had any problem with any sativa landrace i grew outside.
So yeah, for me, out here, sativas are super easy to grow, thats my obvious conclusion.
Excited about the Kullu Valley and Purple Haze x Panama i'll be growing this season.
Was looking at your pics from the Oaxaca string of pearls, that looks pretty extreme, i wonder how the effects were.
Good luck!
