Santa Maria is a slightly sativa dominant hybrid (65% sativa/35% indica) strain created through a backcross of the (Mexican Haze X Silver Pearl) F2 that was repeated 7 times to stabilize it. The aroma is sweet and fruity with a delicate floral overtone. The taste is of sweet citrus that has a pleasantly fragrant lavender aftertaste that is mild in nature. With hints of fruit and flowery flavors, the effects are described as long-lasting and energetic. This strain has been known to spice things up as it is regularly applauded for its arousing effects.
