Mexican Sativa Strain Genetics
Sensi Seeds took a Mexican landrace strain from the Southern Mexican region of Oaxaca, crossed it with the sturdy African sativa Durban Poison, and threw a fast-flowering Pakistani indica in the mix for good measure. Sensi Seeds then took it one step further and back-crossed with the original Oaxaca strain.
Mexican Sativa Strain Terpene Profile
Compared to the ever-popular Haze strains, the aroma of Mexican Sativa is slightly more subtle and yet strong enough to please most sativa lovers. What sets it apart from other sativas is a spicy, herbal, earthy undertone, thanks to the indica component. This complements the typical citrus notes caused by the presence of the terpene, limonene.

How to Grow Mexican Sativa Strain
Mexican Sativa does exceptionally well outdoors, even in colder climates. In warmer climates, this strain can grow immensely tall, up to 3 meters! Its genetics make it very resistant to pests and moulds and give it a short growing cycle of 6 to 8 weeks.
The flowers are slightly denser than its sativa counterparts but still quite elongated, making the only real downside of this strain its fairly low yield.
