Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 100%

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 PI

OG Kush Purest Indica (Authentic Genetics) x OG Kush Purest Indica (Authentic Genetics) A backcross of a male (OG Kush x Purest Indica) from Authentic Genetics onto a female (OG Kush x Purest Indica) from the exact same stock is technically an Inbred Line (IBL) or F2 generation cross. Because both parents are from the same identical genetic pool, this pairing acts as a deep genetic lock. It is designed to preserve and concentrate Todd McCormick’s historic 1979 Steve Murphy Afghan "Purest Indica" and classic clone-only OG Kush genetics. Parent Strain Breakdown Male: OG Kush x Purest Indica (Authentic Genetics): Selected for its exceptional structural integrity, stocky frame, thick main stalk, and tight node spacing. It carries a heavy, greasy resin profile and a deep base aroma of forest pine, damp earth, and woodsy fuel. Female: OG Kush x Purest Indica (Authentic Genetics): Selected for her heavy flower yields, massive trichome coverage, and extreme broadleaf indica expression. She delivers a highly sedative, old-school physical potency with a sharp, gassy, lemon-pine Kush terpene profile. Expected Hybrid Characteristics Growth Structure: Plants will be exceptionally uniform, displ
