What is the shortest flowering 100% Sativa?

[Phillybonker]

I've done a lot of research and the shortest flowering 100% Sativa I could find was Bokeo #2 which apparently is 6 months from seed to harvest, however I have read some reports that it flowers late which I assume is because it is being grown in a very different environment than the one it is native to, this would mean it would take longer than 6 months from seed to harvest. But that is just from forum chatter I've read and there could be other reasons for Bokeo #2 flowering late.

So with that being said, does anyone know of a 100% Sativa strain that can match that finishing time - 6 months from seed to harvest?

Not sure about the shortest, probably an autoflower will be the fastest. Although I'd say try this one: Buy Malawi feminized seeds by Ace Seeds Organization - Herbies Seeds

I won't state it's the FASTEST but fast enough

I'm pretty sure Purple Satellite is 100% sativa, and it starts flowering early. I've heard other growers here in Southern Ontario have successfully grown it outdoors, and we're at about the same latitude North as NZ is South. You also have a milder climate than we do, so you should be able to take it as long as needed.
It's only available as regular seeds though, and I'm not sure how many of the sponsors who carry it ship down there.
Herbies is out of stock, and while NASC has it, I think they only ship in the US.

I'll take a look, cheers

First time I've heard of that strain. If it starts flowering early that works for me

Destroyer auto and AutoCBG are pure sativa based. They don’t get long and lean like many sativas, they stay dense and short (ish)

Bushmans is a 100% sativa. Regulars, not fem. I've never grown it but have smoked it. Had some seeds that were given away as no time. They say 45 to 48 days for flower.

Bushmans A Sativa Landrace: A Cannapot Sponsored Grow

Thank you, @CannaPot, for sponsoring this grow with seeds. Bushmans is a landrace Sativa from South Africa. It is supposed to flower in 45 - 48 days which is extremely quick for a Sativa. I'm very curious about this one. The seeds are regular, and I decided to germinate 4 seeds for 1 keeper. The...

Thanks!! That's what I'm looking for. A South African land race, interesting. What's it like smoke wise?

It was so long ago, I don't remember specifics. Never grew it myself. Check out the @nickeluring grow.

9 weeks is the quickest one I've Grown.

9 weeks is the quickest one I've Grown.

What strain was that?

 

[Lerugged]

A kwazulu landrace called Holly's Harvest and another called Miss Sticky. You will find them in my journals below. I m mean 9 weeks flower. You could also grow 12/12 and harvest most landraces in 3 to 4 months but the technique is a bit hit and miss.

I was just looking through your Durban Poison journal just before, I didn't realize that Miss Sticky was only nine weeks flowering though. It's a shame nobody sells those strains online.

You sure Miss Sticky doesn't have any indica in her? Love of Landrace sell a Durban Poison that takes 18 weeks flowering, that's a big difference.

Table Mountain Sativa Company. They're a sponsor.

I've never heard of an 18 week Durban. Malawi yes a day some other Africans. The humidity and weather would be a bit difficult to finish even in Durban for an 18 weeker. I'm curious now. Gonna go check it out. None of my plants have any indica in them at all. Most kwazulu landraces are 10 to 13 weeks. 14 at the most. Miss Sticky is a 9 to 10 weeker. Probably adapted to finish in an area that possibly gets shaded by mountain at the end of autumn when the sun is lower. That would be my guess as to why she is quicker.

Check the Cannabiogen Destroyer and crosses of. I’ve never seen a real sativa finish fast but I ran a couple of theirs and they finished in 16 weeks. So you could veg for 2 months to total 6. If someone is telling you real sativas finish any faster I would beware. I ran a punto rojo from Cannabiogen and it finished around Thanksgiving. I don’t like sativas. Big plants with airbuds, every one I’ve ever tried. If they are real sativas they are not going to finish fast. This is a Destroyer in the photo. It should have yielded a pound and a half. I got 12.5 ounces out of it. Airbuds!

I forgot to mention I grow outdoors and with a 12-14 week finish I can't grow the Destroyer where I'm at, I can only do 9 weeks flowering at the absolute most and that's if I push the plants to their limits and eat the losses from mold, but usually we pull at 8 weeks.

I've never grown a pure sativa before but from what I've read long flowering and airy buds are characteristic of pure sativas. However, Boteo #2 apparently finishes in 6 months from seed to harvest and those come from The Real Seed Company who have a reputation for being honest. That's is what got me wondering if their are any other quick finishing pure sativas.

Anyway airy buds are fine with me because where I'm at high humidity and rain is a massive problem, dense buds trap moisture and rot out fast while airy buds survive a bit better.

I don’t believe it can be real. The words sativa and indica describe the plants’ morphology and nothing more. Sativas morph fast in veg and slow in flower. Period. These photos are a 1/2 oaxaca grown in a 1 gallon pot outside in Colorado at 8,000. Sativa pheno Balkh/Oaxaca from Swami Organic Seeds.
