I am looking to grow some sativa for my next grow. I am looking for some suggestions.
I am after a strong trippy high.

Any help would be appreciated.

Belladonna, Satori, C-99, NLxHaze, Apollo 11, SSH.
These are all much, much faster finishing than a more pure sativa, and therefore easier to bring to harvest.

Apollo 11 is one of my all-time favorite plants...heart thudding, heavy, clear sativa high.

Is a pure Sativa worth the time/effort to grow? Can I get the same effects with a quicker finishing hybrid?
Or do I need to grow a pure sativa to get the full sativa effects?

In my experience pure sativas are well worth the time and effort if you are growing under the sun.
If you are indoors under artificial lights, the pure sativa buds will be light and wispy, although they will still be plenty potent.
Pure sativas thrive under the sun in the proper southern climate in which they will have plenty of time to finish.

Therefore, if indoors, sativa hybrids are a better bet to provide you with a fat crop of fine and tasty "sativa high" buds.

Sativa in general require a more tropical environment to thrive I believe. The indicas are usually closer to the sun. I could just be way too stoned tho

I really, really wanted to grow a pure sativa. So I got some Malawi. Now I ended up cutting them down early as my environment simply wasn't in tune for growing them. Beautiful plant and I didn't even do them justice the stretch is astounding! An eight inch plant in flower turned into easily a 6 to 7 foot beast. If I were to grow them again, which I will indoors, I'd plan on either having very high ceilings, dedicating a whole lamp to them (I grow a variety, and the Malawi simply took over), or in a tent simply Scrog them. Very unique plants and wish I'd done them justice.

I would recommend you try a "mostly sativa hybrid" before attempting any pure sativas... I've grown loads of pure sativas indoors are they are more for breeders and/or well experienced growers looking for something diffrent. It should be noted that many pure sativas do not carry the same type of high profile most are used too... It's much more of a subtle shift in perception than a foggy mind with body ques type of high.

Mostly sativa:
Temple (Bodhi), SSH, Apollo 11, C99, Blue Dream, Choco trip, BSHW, Blueberry (some phenos), JJ's white haze, Vietnam black, Neville's haze, Bangi haze

Pure sativas:
Nigerian/ohaze, Golden tiger, mullum x thai (nev), panama's (gold, black, red), colombian black, Ethiopian, congolese, highland and lowland thai, malawi, Malana cream...

I wrote out a paragraph explaining how that statement is slightly arrogant if not ignorant. It got deleted through stoned miscalculation and so now I will leave you with just this.

Just because someone grows a plant indoors does not mean they are in complete control of their environment.

Than they don't play a good God than do they? Id really enjoy reading your post. I mean im not arguing if you are saying outdoors is the best environment so lemme hear what you got to say.

One trick to keep size down: Small ass pots. Chances of it getting much more than 4ft or so in a small square half litre/L pot are pretty small I'd say.

Outdoors is a good spot for it but Sativas in a small pot will do just fine. I just don't think that all growers know how to control their climate to go for a specific environment like the rainforest without getting a bunch of mold lolol. I did it pretty good but it still wasn't perfect.

I grew ACE Panama Red under LED and they stretched 2x. 12 to 14 weeks to finish flower. Supposed to be pure sativa. Good cerebral high to it.

You want intense lights for sativa if you can get them. They all come from around the equator with intense sunlight. You will not get the full effect if you can not replicate this intensity.

I would not use a small pot to control height, I think you will lose yield or might. Bend and pinch those branches till they are the height you can handle.

There's a thread devoted to micro sativa grows on ICmag where all he does is use 4" square pots to keep plant sizes small. Think he's in coco. Feeds and waters regularly. His plants end up quite tall but not so tall they are unmanageable. His yields appear from visual inspection of his pictures to be very very good. I see no reason why they wouldn't be. So long as the plants are being fed and watered. You couldn't grow in RLOS like this.
