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 American Kush
The American Kush cross by Alphakronik Genes brings together two of the world’s best “kush” varieties together for the first time. By combining their famed Sin City Kush which consists of a cross between Las Vegas Purple Kush and Snowdawg BX, and their Pre-98 Bubba Kush, AKG have created a hybrid that truly delivers the body-numbing power that the Kush namesake is known for. Three years in the making, this hybrid produces large, golf-ball shaped flowers with tight internode spacing while keeping the structure as close to the Kush lineage as possible. The flavors vary from soft fruity tones to coffee, jasmine, lavender and lemon. This cross has shown benefit to patients who suffer from chronic pain, nausea, muscle spasms, and generalized joint pain. We recommend a feeding schedule that is high in nitrogen, with dialed down amounts of potassium and phosphorus. Feed your N base until week 3, and then add in the P and K to bulk up the plant until the flush cycle. This plant can withstand more heat than other we’ve found, mainly due to the Kush lineage. The large fan leafs tend to work well as shade leafs, and therefor may need some pruning during growth to maintain optimal light penetr
