What are South American cannabis seeds?

South American cannabis seeds use cannabis genetics which have come from, or have been mainly developed, in South America. Cannabis seeds from Latin America are typically sativa, or very sativa dominant.

If you’re looking to grow some powerful cannabis with jungle sativa genetics then South American cannabis seeds should be on your shopping list! The psychoactive high is long lasting with strong cerebral effects. The effects are joyful and satisfying. South American genetics offer something a little different to the usual cannabis strains and many growers adore the exhilarating high.

5 reasons why you should consider Desfrán

Desfrán is a delight for any fans of original sativa strains who value the genuine, pure sativa effects above all else. With genetics from the multiple cannabis cup winning ‘Destroyer’ strain, Desfrán delivers an intensely powerful, soaring sativa high.

The stretchy genetics can easily fill an indoor grow tent, so Desfrán only suits indoor growers with sufficient space/height for these fast growing sativa genetics. Desfrán grows well in hot or tropical outdoor conditions where she can reach 3-4m tall.

Yields are very heavy and branches can need supporting at the end of bloom to prevent the blooms from collapsing under their own weight.

Origins and genetics

Desfrán is a legendary South American strain which won many cannabis cups. She is the result of crossing Destroyer with Destroyer. Originally she was a 3-way cross of Mexican Oaxaca, Colombian Punto Rojo and Meao Thai. The genetics come to Dutch Passion thanks to Alberto from Argentina, a Master Grower, Cannabis Connoisseur and owner of Haze Magazine. Introducing Desfrán to Europe was a joint project. The goal was to allow cultivators outside of South America the chance to enjoy some novel and unusual genetics with a top-shelf smoke/vape quality.

Unique features

Heavy yields of intensely enjoyable buds await growers of Desfrán or Auto Desfrán. But indoor growers of Desfrán should be aware of the uniquely stretchy growth characteristics of this sativa. She suits those with larger indoor grow areas. Those with limited headroom should consider growing Auto Desfrán or, if growing photoperiod feminised Desfrán seeds use a short veg growth period.

If photoperiod feminised seeds of Desfrán are given a long veg period you can expect a large plant which will quickly fill all available grow space. Those that love growing cannabis with the SCROG method will find Desfrán to be a perfect strain choice. She also grows well in SOG conditions and can be grown on 12/12 light directly from seed.

Customer favourite cannabis seeds since the 1980’s

With the fast-acting high and heavy yields these South American cannabis genetics have been popular with customers since the 1980’s. By refining the breeding process and back-crossing Destroyer with Destroyer, the result is a very stable original sativa with a fantastically enjoyable effect. If your only awareness of sativa genetics has been sativa-dominant strains then now could be the right time to consider experiencing a purebred sativa such as Desfrán or Auto Desfrán.

Pure sativa cannabis seeds for supreme anti-anxiety effects

Desfrán is as near to a pure sativa as any other strain ever seen by the Dutch Passion experts. That means a pure sativa experience, un-dulled by any indica influence. For some people, pure sativa effects are highly sought after and offer a unique cerebral high with not-so-subtle psychedelic influences. You may be familiar with the stress-busting sativa effects of a Haze, but the Latin American Desfrán genetics are, for some, even better and more enjoyable. If you’re a sativa fan then Desfrán seeds (or Auto Desfrán seeds) should definitely be in your cannabis seed collection.

Autoflower seed fans can also enjoy South American cannabis genetics

Thanks to Auto Desfrán you can now enjoy the excellent pure sativa genetics with the convenience and ease of autoflowering cannabis seed genetics. Indoors Auto Desfrán can take longer than the average autoflower strain.

That’s due to the pure sativa heritage which can mean that Auto Desfrán can take 12-15 weeks to grow from autoflower seed to harvest. However you can look forward to genuinely XL yields of some of the purest autoflower sativa buds you have ever enjoyed!

Both Desfrán and Auto Desfrán enjoy very high THC levels so you can expect connoisseur quality buds with a long lasting effect and a unique, exquisitely pleasurable high.

Latin America cannabis seeds tips

Desfrán takes around 9-10 weeks in bloom however she can comfortably triple her height (or more) when transitioning from vegetative growth to bloom. She is recommended to those indoor growers with the space or grow techniques (e.g. SCROG or SOG) to accommodate the ‘pure sativa’ stretch.

Auto Desfrán can also reach a large size and deliver XL yields but she is perhaps slightly easier to control than the photoperiod feminised seed version and may be preferred by those concerned about their available vertical grow space.

Both Desfrán and Auto Desfrán deliver very high THC harvests with delicious sweet and soft fruity flavours of pear caramel with hints of grape and melon. These South American cannabis seeds offer seriously powerful sativa genetics with heavy yields and mouth watering flavours. No wonder they boast multiple cannabis cup winning genetics and so many repeat growers.

If you prefer the effects of refined sativa genetics and want to grow some prize winning buds then Latin American cannabis seeds tick all the most important boxes on any growers checklist!
