No because it doesn't exists. You can't grow landrace Sativas in temperate climates. They flower natively with 12/12 and take over 6 months to flower. In temperate climate you have to run autos in my opinion.
Depending on latitude and light hours an early strain might be a good choice. Cheers!

Look for landraces that have adapted to high altitude. Nepalese, North Indian, (Ecuador?) ect. There are most definitely "sativas" that you can grow outside in temperate climates. But don't try to take a tropical sativa and grow it in somewhere where it frosts in October.
A temperate climate is a pretty wide range... 60N in Alberta is much a different climate/growing season that 50N on Vancouver Island.

Nepali strains some indian strains but as others say there aint many pure traditional sativa strains that will tackle that weather with the shorter bloom time ul find more hybrids that may fit the bill id imagine for example here in most of the uk outdoors its autos and semi autos that do better rather than full on photos unless your in say southern England or something dont get me wrong some photo strains can survive but you need luck on your side alot of the time

There are some short flowering Himalayan charas plants that will flower in the Northern states, I can't remember the names off the top of my head but I'll look them up. I'm not sure if they'll flower up here, but there are some short flowering African sativas too. I have some Kilimanjaro seeds in the fridge that I want to try outside. You could definitely get away with some of Ace's hybrids, not the pure landraces, but Kali China does great outdoors AND has good mold resistance-the high is just wonderful as well, at least the pheno that my friend keeps, much more like a pure sativa, not muddled like these fotm dispensary strains. Another strain that might interest you as a northern grower is Serious 6, it's mostly sativa but bred for northern latitudes-it's a great plant, one of my outdoor favorites, and it's really pretty.
What about panana x pck should i try that? I know it s not a sativa(50/50) but maybe i should give it a try

Good suggestions. He was however asking for landraces not hybridized strains. Cheers!

You could find some short flowering Durban. I found some 8 and 9 week Durban in Hazeman's offering.

Then it’s not Durban. I maintain an IBL Durban and it’s 85 days or more to finish. The earliest I’ve cut was at 77 days so I could send some with someone.
Sativas do well in the southern half of the USA. Depending on first freeze they can grow anywhere.

Durban that is short flowering are the worked lines. The lines where worked in Amsterdam during the 80s to lessen the hermaphroditic trait. Long flowering Durban is untouched lines. And the Durban that I grew from hazeman smoked just like the long flowering Durban.

Green Mountain Grape, at least it looks like what you could be after. No experience with it though. Ace has it in stock now, but that breeders gear usually go quick.

Op just out of curiosity where are you roughly? I ask cos where you are dictates what works really

I've grown: Malawi, Panama, and a land race hybrid called Golden Tiger, bred by Ace seeds.
Golden tiger is probably the best cannabis I've ever smoked, it's got something in a few phenotypes that is hard to replicate, longest lasting effects of anything I've smoked to date and cloned easy and grows in its veg state very quickly. Made me rethink a whole lot about what was even worth growing, the malawi takes about 13-14 weeks 12/12 while the panama is about 10.5-12.5 wks. Golden tiger is a hybrid between malawi and thai, and flowers for 13-15 wks, it has much better vigor than than the pure malawi landrace or the panama.
I m from Romania if that s what u asked

Your best bet is the Himalayan sativas imo. I grew Malana Cream (indoors) and it was very very nice. 12 weeks of flowering and she was pretty done.I'd avoid tropical sativas from southeast Asia, central and south America.

What month do you usually get frost in your area?

I don't think you'll have any problems, just avoid TROPICAL sativas. Have a look at this:
https://www.plantmaps.com/interactive-romania-first-frost-date-map.php
Ask yourself this question: what time of year do you get the first frost in your area? You're in a mid-latitude European country, which leads me to believe you rarely ever see frost before mid/end of November.

Have a look at his rasoli as well, also harvests end of September through October.
cheers,

Not bad Mate u got a better climate than here we 56ish n people still manage id say durban would fit the bill long as its a fast one also semi autos like royal dane and stuff like that would do great in romania id imagine cos some people pull it off up to lattitude 61 in nordic countries and stuff
