Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 100%

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 Black Afghani

Black Afghani is a 100% Indica cannabis strain developed by Underground Seeds Collective from an ancient lineage harvested in Kandahar. Starting from genetics sourced from the stock of a private seed collector, the team of breeders at Underground Seed Collective have worked this variety over several generations to stabilise it’s two main defining characteristics: an intensely dark, almost black colour and a subtle aroma of the finest hash. Black Afghani is a robust and compact plant, well branched and forming large heads, delivering generous harvests of sticky black buds after 8 to 9 weeks of flowering. It’s fragrance combines hashy notes of wood and fruit enriched with touches of coffee and vanilla, while its heavy effect is soothing and narcotic, working to relax both the body and the mind.
