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 Atomic Candy

Atomic Candy. A darker variety with deep purple tones. Medium height and easy to grow. Her flavor is not very as candy like the name suggests but rather more earthly with some mild sweet tones hiding underneath. Subcool’s Chernobyl had a very vigorous male phenotype that was covered with trichomes and it looked like the perfect candidate to cross with a finicky but delicious terpy Zkittlez phenotype we selected from Dying Breeds. The result is a strong battle ready variety that is easy to grow in harsh conditions. We give a lot of love to our leafy friends but we also do a stress test to see how well they will cope under very poor conditions. Atomic Candy is a warrior that is the main conclusion. And although a lot of sweeter terpenes were missing in such conditions, she always completed her job well. This variety has such an attitude that it just made sense to continue breeding with her. To see if she could beef up some other less battle ready teammates and she did exactly that
