Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

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 Andromeda

This line was created by pollinating the Sour Apple clone with a Nepalese Landrace male to make the F1 generation. Multiple male offspring were selected from F1 seeds to pollinate the Sour Apple and create the BX1 generation. The process was repeated 4 more times, leading us to the BX5 generation. 3 males were selected from a pool of 61 and chosen to make the final generation of BX6. The offspring are very homogeneous and are a gorgeous replica of the original Sour Apple mother. My goal in the creation of this line was to add density and structure while maintaining the original Sour Apple’s mouth watering flavor and stunning visual appeal. This has been achieved and I am confident that BX6 is as far as the line needs to be inbred to create a uniform version of the Sour Apple clone in REG seed form
