Cannabis Sativa Volume 2: The Essential Guide to the World's Finest Marijuana Strains Paperback – February 5, 2013
Purchase options and add-ons
No other strain guide series has looked at Cannabis Sativa in such depth before, and the fan base established by the previous best-selling books, Cannabis Indica, Vols. 1 & 2 and Cannabis Sativa, Vol. 1 is eagerly awaiting the release of this new title in order to collect the whole set. Featuring 100 strains of amazing Sativa-dominant genetics and 100 different breeders, this book is a must-have for pot enthusiasts, pot growers, and pot connoisseurs, new and old alike.
Cannabis Sativa, Volume 2 features genetics from 100 different seed breeders more than all other cannabis strain guides put together. This book features genetics from such varied countries as Britain, Holland, Canada, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, France, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Denmark, Slovenia, Australia and the USA. No other strain guide series features this many emerging seed breeders, as well as established cannabis seed companies. Cannabis Sativa is the latest book in this must-have series for connoisseurs and growers looking to expand their knowledge about the plant, and the genetics in their gardens.
Featuring classic Sativa strains, such as Kali Mist, Diesel, Jack Herer and Chocolope, Cannabis Sativa, Volume 2 also introduces fascinating brand new, never-before-seen varieties from previously unknown seed breeders. The book also features multiple strain variations on Haze the strain of choice for connoisseur breeders and smokers, and a favorite amongst medicinal and recreational users throughout the USA.
Filled with hundreds of beautiful full-color images, this book is ideal for every grow room, dorm room, and living room. Each plant is discussed in detail, with accurate information on genetics and lineage so that readers can become experts on Cannabis Sativa strains their aromas, flavors, potency, THC content, medical potentials and growth patterns.
Cannabis Sativa, Volume 2 is a true resource for the Cannabis community, providing useful information to enthusiasts and invaluable insights to the seed-buying public. Unlike its competitor, The Big Book of Buds, which only features 30 companies that pay to be included and over 20 pages of advertisements, this book is a true reflection of the global marijuana seed breeding movement. Strains were selected based on their relevance to the current market and the strength of their genetics. There are no advertisements in the book and no one paid to be included. Chief editor, bestselling author S.T. Oner, carefully selected all strains based on merit, not advertising dollars. This grassroots philosophy resulted in the previous books in this series selling thousands of copies to devoted fans during their first year in print.
With an introduction by Mel Thomas, the bestselling author of Cannabis Cultivation, A Complete Grower's Guide, now in its 3rd Edition and with total sales of over 30,000, discussing his views of the Cannabis Sativa plant, as well as its history, growth patterns, genetic tendencies, breeding potentials and smokeability, this book is every true cannabis enthusiast’s dream.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013We were surprised to see so many U.S. breeders in 1 strain guide. The pictures are amazing and the strains are some of the newest on the market. You will not be able to find a better strain collection anywhere else. It also provided how many days in flower and average weight. A great reference for any breeder or anyone researching what strain to get.
We also love that they are split into 2 different categories Sativa, and Indica. A great way to separate, and reference all the different strains. We see so many strain guides, but most have the same strains with different pictures. This one goes beyond the bar, and has strains that are new or just got released. If you have a pulse, and want to know what's out there NOW vs a decade ago, grab this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020High rating was worth it. There were some plants unknown to me but I liked the information provided on them especially the seed companies that are not heard of in the great usa
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015The only downside to this book is that many of the strains might be unfamiliar and/or difficult to get your hands on locally.
The author has a solid and thorough grasp of the subject, and he packs a lot of information into each chapters average of 3 paragraphs.
Each strain is presented in it's own 2-page spread with a full-page photo of the live plant and a solid introduction to the strain, it's history and growth habits - as well as the occasional gardening tip. Each strains parental linegae, potency and breeder are given as well.
Some strains have a wealth of info provided, well some act more as a general introduction. Don't expect a long winded smoke-review. Since I feel that the effect of cannabis is largely subjective - this is okay with me, but if you are looking for something to guide you through the nuances of each strain's subtle differences in effect - you might be better served by some hands-on research.
Those looking for information about each strain medical uses should look elsewhere as this book does not cover this at all.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2013No complaints. I plan on buying the 3rd Indica volume coming out very soon. I own both of these indica and both sativa books. Cool pics and good information. Great coffee table books for adults with open minds. Take that dea.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014Even if it's only for boredom it's a good book very informative on strains lacks some but has some I never heard of before
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2013I have all 4 of books in this series and have enjoyed reading them very much .every time I get one of them I end up making a list of a few strains that I would like to try
The reading is entertaining with just enough info
To cover the basics of each strain.
Lets face it, with 100 strains to choose from there is going to be some thing for every one's taste .
There are a lot of great photos to wet that appetite as well some will have you drooling a little more than others but I guess not every Is camera savvy as me lol
My books are always on the coffee table these days and make for some good ole shop talk when company is over
If you don't have a copy on your table then you and your pals are missing out (your loss) lol

- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016Good information, well researched and informative.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2013Great pictures but not heavy on information. Gives info about breeders and some good stories. MzJill is listed in the breeders in the preface but I could not find a strain that was attributed to her in the text.
