Saga is a sativa dominant hybrid strain which grows vigorously, produces lots of buds and its strong branches will hold their weight without problems. Commercially interesting as 2-3 weeks of growing time is all that is required. This strain grows exponentially in the flowering phase, so if you extend the vegetative stage you’ll need to top it with a decent pair of pruning shears. It produces a large amount of resin, and when done correctly you can harvest up to 500-600g per m2 after 55-65 flowering days.
Outdoors is where this plant does best thanks to its sativa genetics. The plant grows with plenty of side branches and when trained properly its branches should end up covered in dense buds. In order to grow it around 3m tall and 2.5m wide you’ll need to use a large 50L(+) flowerpot. This will help you to yield up to an amazing 1kg per plant. Harvest time is early October. Saga also shows good natural resistance to pests and adapts well to any growing medium. Super Strains highly recommend growing it in dryer climates where it doesn’t rain at the end of the summer.
