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 Backfire

Backfire is a very exciting project we have been working on at the House of Funk. This plant will express both White Fire #3 phenotypes with its lemon/black licorice fuel, and outcross phenos with a lime aroma and larger buds. The high is heady and intense, and at the same time offers a relaxing body tingle that creates a truly unique experience. This is House of Funk’s very first offering in O.G. line work, so we decided to kick the door in from the word go. Backfire is a House of Funk staple…flat out, it’s what we reach for first to smoke. Pallet coating flavor characteristics paired with a truly intense potency make it okay (this time) to ‘play with fire’. Flowering Period: 9 - 10 weeks indoor, early-mid October (outdoor, CA) Plant Structure: “o.g.” like stretch, medium sized dense nodal budding, bushy branching pattern under minimal pruning Flowers: small to medium sized flowers, medium resin with high thc levels, dense flowers, strong aroma
