Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Aiea

This strain is quite the multinational, it brings together the best of the east and the west. It began life as a Hawaiian indica that was sent to us by one of our friends. We then crossed it with our strong and bushy Afghan male. This male is great because it really leaves the dominant flavors of the original mom intact yet greatly increases the yield of anything we've crossed it into. While the female had a great crystal structure under magnification we decided we would also like to increase its yield. There should not be too much variation within the phenotypes either. The strain has an incredibly candy flavor almost as sweet as cotton candy. The plant doesn't get to tall and prefers a medium feed. You will not be disappointed with the Aiea. Indica/Sativa: 80/20 buzz: strong but clear with a heavy body buzz taste/smell: very fruity flowering: time mid Oct. outside parents: Hawaiian Indica (Female) x Pure Kandahar Afghan (father) yield: 450-550 g/m2 medical benefits: this is a good bronchial dilator
