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 Babylon

Genetics: Iraqi Province: Babylon Sourced: American soldier in Iraq (2004) Latitude: 32° N Elevation: 34 m.a.s.l. Sowing: February – March Harvest: August – September Height: 100 – 150 centimetres Flowering: 9 -10 weeks Yield: generous Aromas: sweet and slightly fruity, almost candy like,syrupy,grapes Taste: Earthy, spicy, hashy, diesel, coffee Effects: calming, relaxing, sedative Purpose: Hash (dry sieved) and grass Characteristics: Purple-Black phenotypes, indica sativas leaves,conical shape Grow type: outdoor, greenhouse, indoors Seeds were collected by an American soldier stationed in Iraq during the 2004 war. The city where the plants were growing lies near the Euphrates river. Probably but not sure from Turkish (or Iranian) genetics. These seeds have been collected in situ in what appeared an obvious crop someone had tended. The seeds were collected by removing a few branches from interesting looking plants. They were collected in 2004, sprouted and kept pure and going until now. These plants aid digestive distress and get things moving as effectively as coffee. The taste is earthy and spicy but also hashy, diesel and some coffee. Iraqi plants show both indica and sativa leav
