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 Alien Paya

This cultivar exhibits a compact and low-growing morphology, characterized by short internodal spacing and a bushy lateral structure that supports abundant floral development. Its vigorous growth is accompanied by excellent trichome production, with glandular heads of high density and stability — particularly suited for resin extraction and concentrate production. The inflorescences are dense and resinous, displaying a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and a uniform structure throughout the canopy. Under optimal conditions, the plant demonstrates notable productivity despite its compact size, making it well adapted to limited cultivation spaces. The aromatic profile is complex and multi-layered: a fusion of mixed fruit esters — reminiscent of tropical and orchard fruits — intertwined with volatile gassy and synthetic notes that provide a distinctive modern terpene expression
