Sativa strains have long been associated with energetic and cerebral highs. While this overly simplistic classification doesn’t always hold true, the five strongest sativa varieties below will certainly leave you feeling supercharged. Discover their genetic backgrounds, flavours, effects, and how to grow them!

1. HulkBerry

Green, fruity, and incredibly powerful, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how HulkBerry got her name. As one of the top sativa strains, this cultivar serves up a gargantuan THC content of 27%. Sow seeds indoors directly into 20-litre pots filled with a high-quality growing medium containing plenty of organic matter. Maintain a consistent temperature of 20–25°C and keep your seeds moist but not waterlogged. Meet these environmental demands, and your seedlings will emerge and grow to a height of around 3 cm by the end of the first week of the growing cycle. By the end of week three, expect your plants to sit at around 10–15 cm. At this point, move your plants outdoors into a sunny spot, ensuring they are well-irrigated in warm climates. As they start to transition into bloom, your HulkBerry specimens will sport bushy canopies and stand at a height of 80–140 cm.

Hulkberry

During flowering, you can expect your plants to stretch to a lofty height of 200 cm. Make a conscious effort to frequently defoliate the canopy, especially in humid climates, to prevent the risk of mould forming on buds. Prepare to harvest up to 700 g/plant during late September. As the progeny of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, HulkBerry serves up an electrifying high perfect for daytime use. You’ll savour tastes of citrus, diesel, and pepper as her effects take hold.

2. Shogun

A THC content of 25% and a refreshing blend of terpenes make Shogun one of the most potent sativa strains. Germinate seeds using the paper towel method and transport them into 10 cm pots once their taproots reach a length of around 2 cm. Maintain a temperature of around 27°C and humidity of 80% to accelerate early growth. By the end of week two, your plants should stand at around 10 cm. Transplant them into 10–20-litre pots and apply LST during week three. Place your containers outdoors into a sunny position and expect your plants to reach a height of around 150 cm by the end of the vegetative phase.

Shogun

Over the course of her 9–11-week flowering time, Shogun will stretch up to 190 cm. Her small pre-flowers quickly swell into large, purple-green colas coated in trichomes. Flush your growing medium during the final two weeks and make sure you have enough stash jars to store up to 650–750 g/plant. As you’d expect from the offspring of Amnesia Haze and Gorilla Glue 4, Shogun exerts an exhilarating high marked by intense bouts of giggles. Tastes of citrus, pine, and earth perfect the experience.

3. Cereal Milk

Sweet, potent, and productive, Cereal Milk doesn’t only rank as one of the most high-THC sativa strains, but she’ll blow your taste buds every time you take a hit. Sow seeds directly into 11-litre containers filled with a high-quality potting mix. Maintain a consistent temperature of 25°C for swift germination. You’ll watch your plants surge to 7 cm by the end of week two, 15 cm by the end of week three, and 20 cm by the end of week four. Move your plants outdoors into a greenhouse or directly under the open sky, and apply training to keep them at around 100 cm by the end of veg. Or, leave them untrained and watch them peak at 160 cm.

Cereal Milk

Your Cereal Milk specimens will stretch up to 150–200 cm during bloom depending on any training applied. Towards the end of flowering, you’ll notice the long, tapered buds take on a gorgeous purple appearance. Flush your medium during the final 1–2 weeks, then prepare to pull in up to 675 g/plant after a flowering phase of 8–10 weeks. A descendant of Y Life and Snowman, Cereal Milk packs a THC content of 23% alongside tastes of blueberry and vanilla. Enjoy her massively uplifting and focus-enhancing effects.

4. Mother Gorilla

Don’t think for a second that we’d dare create a list of the strongest sativa strains without including Mother Gorilla. Germinate the seeds of this high-THC titan using the paper towel method and transplant your sprouts into 10 cm pots. Here, they’ll grow up to 10 cm in height in the space of two weeks. Transplant them into their final pots and go heavy on nitrogen to facilitate leafy growth. Move your containers outdoors into a sunny location and defoliate the canopy as necessary to improve airflow and light penetration. Your plants will peak at a height of 140 cm by the end of the vegetative phase.

Mother Gorilla

Mother Gorilla really gets into the swing of things during bloom. She’ll stretch to 180 cm while putting out gorgeous, dense colas spattered with purple hues and plenty of resin. Get ready to harvest a return of up to 550 g/plant after a flowering phase of 9–10 weeks. After drying and curing your buds, you’ll experience a powerfully soothing and inspiring high augmented by tastes of chocolate, earthiness, skunk, and sourness.

5. Tropicana Cookies Purple

To bring an end to our list of the top sativa strains, let us introduce to you Tropicana Cookies Purple. Get your seeds started using the paper towel method and go on to place your sprouts into cell trays. Your seedlings will reach a height of 4 cm by the end of the first week. Once their true leaves grow past the circumference of the pots, transplant them into their final 10–20-litre containers. Exposed to temperatures above 21°C, your specimens will rapidly grow to 100–140 cm before veg comes to a close.

Tropicana Cookies Purple

Depending on container size, and whether you use any training techniques, your Tropicana Cookies Purple plants will surge to 140–180 cm as they stretch during early bloom. You’ll notice a fruity aroma start to permeate your growing space as her buds begin to mature and take on a striking purple appearance. Get to work harvesting up to 600 g/plant during early October. Fuelled by a THC content of 22%, the effects of this strain will have you feeling extremely relaxed yet uplifted. Enjoy delightful notes of blueberry and candy with each inhale.

In addition, our newsletter mailing has an opt-out feature. Consumers can withdraw their consent by using this opt-out feature.

SECTION 5 – COOKIES

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Essentially, when you use our website, your computer displays its cookies to us, informing our site that you have visited before. This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient. At Royal Queen Seeds, we use two types of cookies: functional and analytical.

5.1 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are used to enhance your online experience. Among other things, these cookies track what is added to your shopping cart. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

5.2 Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies are used for research and market analysis. The data collected with these analytical cookies is anonymous, making it unusable for third parties. The use of these cookies does not require prior authorization.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
