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 Banana Shake

Banana Shake Feminized is an 80%/20% indica-dominant hybrid created by Sensi Seeds’ Breeding Grounds alongside the team at Fat Beans as a blend of Hindu Kush and Fruit Slices. Hindu Kush is a pure indica landrace strain while Fruit Slices is a 90% sativa blend. However, the final result is less balanced than one might think, with these plants exhibiting almost purely indica traits. Banana Shake Feminized is an extremely compact strain with a moderate aroma making it ideal for indoor growers. Despite their stature, these plants are still capable of big yields and the buds deliver a powerful high that’s likely to leave users fairly sedated. These no-nonsense plants don’t require much extra care but also don’t respond particularly well to more advanced growing techniques. Growth Pattern of Banana Shake FeminizedBanana Shake Feminized cannabis seeds lean heavily into their indica lineage and develop into compact and robust plants. With tight internodal spacing and thick, hearty lateral branches, these plants are ideal picks for anyone with limited space who still wants to harvest large yields. If grown indoors, Banana Shake Feminized typically finishes flowering at under 80 cm with pla
