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.

In cannabis breeding, success and prosperity can be measured in terms of potency, vigour, yield and reliability. Because Sensi Seeds is able to draw from a rich and varied gene-pool made up of hybrids and cultivars perfected over decades or centuries, combining this advantage with expert selection actually makes it possible to attain the Dream of continuous improvement. By enhancing our elite Afghan-Skunk genotypes with a delicate blend of Jamaican and Hawaiian Sativas, Sensi has created American Dream, a strain which gives growers the best of both worlds - connoisseur quality and cash-cropper quantity. American Dream produces avalanches of hard, fist-sized buds that br
