Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Purple

Positronics has developed this variety in a cross between Grandaddy Purple (Purple Urkle x Big Bud) and the famous Purple Haze sativa. This Sativa dominant plant offers an original and very striking character, with slender individuals of quite long internodal distance. It develops large colas of flowers generously coated with resin rich in terpenes and cannabinoids. In indoor cannabis cultivation, it is ready to harvest in about 65-70 days. Outdoors, in the Northern hemisphere, it is ready to harvest in October. It is an easy to grow strain that offers good results to all types of cultivators, both beginners and experienced. American Purple, a berry and honey flavoured harvest American Purple's long flowers, once dried and cured, give off a complex and pleasant aroma with berry and red fruit notes on a sweet background reminiscent of honey. It produces an intense and balanced effect, initially a euphoric high that gradually evolves into a calm and relaxed stage.
