Sativa strains are primarily associated with recreational use, as consumers often choose them for social activities—like a night out with friends— or creative pursuits such as painting, playing music, or writing, since Sativas help boost creativity, focus, and motivation. However, they also have medical properties that can help with conditions such as depression, ADHD, and appetite loss.
The best Sativa varieties are strains that, unlike Indicas and Hybrids, are mainly known for their energizing, uplifting, and mind-bending effects. These cerebral effects can be relaxing but primarily serve as an energy booster, helping you tackle daily chores or difficult tasks with a huge smile on your face. These effects are why Sativas are considered daytime strains.
Sativa plants can be more difficult to grow since they grow much taller and take longer to mature than their counterparts. Sativas are well-suited for growers dealing with longer growing seasons, as they can withstand high humidity and higher-than-average temperatures.
