Altitude shapes sativa genetics as much as latitude does. Lines from high elevation regions in Nepal, Colombia, or the Rif mountains tend to be more compact, handle cooler nights, and finish faster than their lowland relatives, while still carrying the thin leaves and energetic profile. The origin notes on https://hazesativaseeds.com flag which of their lines come from mountain stock, and those have been the ones that worked in my cooler climate. Equatorial lowland seeds are a different proposition entirely and need real warmth to thrive.
