Sacra Frasca by Dutch Passion
Sativa-dominant strains × Mediterranean landrace sativas
Sacra Frasca is a sativa-dominant strain developed by Dutch Passion, originating from early 2000s breeding efforts focused on sativa genetics. It is recognized for its distinctive characteristics and is considered a classic sativa creation.
Appearance
Sacra Frasca presents visually striking, densely packed buds that are typically a bright green color, adorned with vibrant orange pistils. Its sativa heritage is evident in the elongated, airy bud structure, which promotes light penetration and airflow. The buds are covered in a significant layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
This strain offers a complex sensory profile. The aroma and flavor are characterized by a blend of citrus, earthy, herbal, orange, pine, and tropical notes. This rich aromatic fingerprint is attributed to unique terpene-producing genes within its genetic makeup.
Effects
Sacra Frasca is known for delivering energetic and cerebral effects, typical of sativa-dominant varieties. Users often experience an uplifting and stimulating sensation. This strain has also been noted for its potential to help manage pain.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses have indicated that Sacra Frasca can exhibit THC levels ranging from 18% to 24%, positioning it as a potent sativa. While specific terpene profiles vary, Myrcene and Linalool have been identified, contributing to its characteristic aroma and effects. CBD content is generally less than 1%.
Growing
Sacra Frasca typically flowers in 9 to 11 weeks, consistent with high-quality sativa varieties. Historical cultivation data from the Netherlands suggests potential yield increases of up to 20% compared to contemporary strains during its development. Its genetics are considered stable, performing well across various conditions.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Dutch Passion in the early 2000s, Sacra Frasca was bred through extensive crossbreeding of sativa-dominant strains. It is estimated to be around 70% sativa and 30% indica, incorporating genetics from Mediterranean landrace sativas. The strain is a testament to Dutch Passion's legacy of quality and innovation in cannabis breeding.
