Your Favorite Sativa?

I am new to growing (10 days into first stretch)

So many varieties and strains. I have been reading since November when we finally voted to legalize in Michigan. My current grow is Blue Haze and Mango Kush, in a tent. Michigan spring is coming and it's time to get an outdoor grow going.. with so many choices, I ask your experience as both growers and smokers.

What is your favorite Sativa and if you have a trusted source for the genetic strain, that would be great too

Pure Sativas probably wont finish in time outdoors in MI.

Schwag said it before I finished my post . Pure sativas take a long time!

One of my favorite strains I've ran is C99 from female seeds. It's a great sativa that will finish fast enough. I haven't ran the mosca seeds version but I've read great things about it too.

Schwagg#12 your avatar is hella funny. Coffee all over my keyboard

Good to know.. How about some sativa heavy hybrids?

I ran an awesome sativa dom white widow for 4 years. I've been thinking about trying to get one back in rotation it's been a while now. I love that strain.

The last 4ish years I've been running a C99 cross I made. It's a pretty balanced hybrid but my favorite pheno leans towards the C99 mom(which was an awesome plant).

I haven't ran any yet but I want to. Docs dank seeds has a strain called "triple purple rhino" which has a beautiful sativa pheno.

I've also recently heard amazing reviews in a strain called " Kali China". It's supposed I be Davy sativa but still faster finishing.

Would that be Mr. Nice's Black Widow? I was just looking at his website, but they don't have auctions going right now. They do have new "combo packs" and I was looking at the one called "The cup winners" pack. It had Black Widow, SSH, and Shark Shock

My wife has been asking for a good sativa for a while now, but I mostly have Bodhi strains and they are usually heavy hitters. Another company that I wanted to try was Dynasty and their Pineapple Fields which is Kali Mist x Mrs Universe. I haven't heard much about Pineapple Fields, but a few people recommended it a while back.

Actually it was a g13labs white widow. It came as a freebie with my first attitude order, and turned out to be better then the seeds I ordered . It grew thick frosty colas.

Not to sound like a broken record, but really anyone wanting to grow a sativa and not wait 12-15 weeks should try C99. It's got lovely fruity flavors, and matures nicely in about 9-10 weeks of flower time, but is still definitely a sativa!

It sounds like my first Attitude order in 2011. I got a free Kandy Kush from Reserva Privada and it is possibly my favorite strain. I ran it recently and it wasn't the same, but I still have another pack to try.

I'm sure that Mr. Nice should have something similar. I bought Black Widow as one of my first seed packs and I don't think that I did it justice. I planted 6 and put the cotton ball(accident) back in the vial. Ruined like 15 seeds. I've been thinking about trying it again now that I have 8yrs exp.

I tried it, but again, I was a rookie making rookie mistakes. I see that one of my favorite seed banks carries Mosca seeds.

I've read great things about the mosca version . Is that your mustang in the picture? I've got a buddy with a very similar mustang that he is rebuilding right now. Putting a big blown motor in it. I haven't seen it in person since he started but it seems like it should be sweet.

Agree on the C99 from female seeds. The sativa buzz from it is fantastic, very vigorous plant to grow, smells amazing.

My wife is actually considering the 3 pack from Mr. Nice. It really isn't too bad, 3x packs for $225. SSH by itself is $150 but I'll get Black Widow, Shark Shock, and SSH for $225.

Yeah, I found this one at a car lot and financed it. It had a very nice body and a cool engine kit, but I think that the ECM was bad and caused it to stall and sputter. Long story short, I think that they(previous owner) twisted the woodruff key on the crank damper. Now, the crank itself is stripped off. It gave me a reason to pull it and get a 331 stroker bottom end. I'm probably going to get high compression and not worry about a blower. They still sell 91 octane(non ethanol) in Oklahoma. I'm looking to get an honest 400hp/tq to the wheels, not the crank... I did a OEM rebuild on previous transmissions(AOD), but I was going to try a few mods this time like a reverse clutch drum and a valve body.

I have the engine pulled out, but I am going to wait util I finish paying the car off before dumping more money. That's why I am able to buy the seed packs lol. I might even try to get a greenhouse before an engine.

C99 from female seeds is c99 crossed to Jack herer. I'm sure it's good stuff but not pure C99. C99 finishes in 7-8 weeks, not 9-10.

ECSD hands down. Best sativa to grow if your stash is also other people's stash as they'll actually want to buy it/trade for it. Jack herer, ssh and the like are great smoke but taste is lacking for most modern consumers. Cross those to a fruity strain or an OG/diesel/chem and you're in business.

Moonshines Haze from rare dankness was really good
And yea ECSD is always good too

Actually you are incorrect here. The brothers Grimm created cinderella99. The original strain was from a jack herer bag seed that was decidedly special and that they back crossed until they got Cinderella 99.

The female seeds version is from a back cross of 2 different phenotypes of Cinderella99. Though not the original it's an awesome strain. While the breeder recommends 53 days, I found I preferred another 10-14 more days then that.

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I know what a breeder types and does is 2 different things. I've grown it, other people have said the same thing over at icmag. It's not pure 99.
