Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

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 Alberni Borealis

Pine and earthy hash dominate the aroma, with some sweet acrid musty grape occasionally coming up. The more agressive ones will double in size and overall provide a solid frame with minimal staking required. Very relaxing ride that you’ll feel behind your eyes. They’ll have you across the finish line in under ten weeks sporting dense well stacked colas
