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 Big Kush

We have crossed the highest-yielding plant in recent history, the Big Skunk (Big Bud x Skunk), also known as Critical, and the most famous plant in the USA, the OG Kush. These two strains are probably the most popular flavours of all commercial cannabis hybrids in modern history. The extreme potency and exceptional taste of the OG Kush is downplayed by its weak spot, that is, an unstable structure, thin stems and low-yielding properties. We have solved the problem by crossing it with our fastest and most productive plant, which adds to the strength and uniformity of the structure as well. Big Kush is tall and its long branches are evenly spread, which makes it look like a pine with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. It yields large quantities of big compact cone-shaped buds covered in resin. The abundance of limonene terpenes in the Kush blends perfectly in with the smelly scent of the Big Skunk. Big Kush remains as potent as the mother OG Kush but it is still more productive, needing 60 days to flower
