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 Bitter Orange

Bitter Orange by Symbiotic Genetics is a cross of the infamous clone-only Wedding Cake cultivar and their in-house Mimosa V6 reversal. Wedding Cake is a seriously potent strain bred by Seed Junky Genetics that takes genetics from a Triangle Kush mother known for extreme potency, and Animal Mints which is widely considered one of the original elite Cookie hybrids that started making waves around 2009. Symbiotic Genetics have used their in-house Mimosa V6 reversal to pollinate the Wedding Cake, the resulting progeny has been named Bitter Orange thanks to the delightfully doughy, vanilla, baked goods profile mixed with a deep Kush-like funk that is undercut with bright tones of citrus, giving an uplifting twist compared to other varieties. Bitter Orange by Symbiotic Genetics typically finishes flowering between weeks 8 to 10 and often produces bountiful yields ranging from medium to high based on the phenotype. The Mimosa takes a back seat to the Wedding Cake, meaning that the effects & flavour profile tend to provide a more Wedding Cake dominant flavour & a deep, heavy body high. The beautiful smell of Bitter Orange offers a smooth & creamy smoke alongside a delightful aroma that ins
