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 Black Banana Chem

Black Banana Chem is a pheno hunter’s dream. This cultivar, bred by Greenpoint Seeds, brings together two unique and potent strains—Black Banana Cookies and Stardawg—to create a line of seeds that produce an array of elite phenotypes. Black Banana Cookies is one of the finest Cookies hybrids, and has gained an enthusiastic following among fans of Girl Scout Cookies. Growers love the fast flowering time, fruity flavor, and excellent bag appeal of this cultivar. Greenpoint Seeds crossed its renowned Stardawg stud with Solfire Gardens’ Black Banana Cookies, and Black Banana Chem was born. Black Banana Chem brings together the best traits of these two strains—the sweet aroma and exotic color of Black Banana Cookies, and the hefty yield and funky flavor of Stardawg. This beginner-friendly strain is easy to grow and produces top-shelf buds. Aroma Black Banana Chem is rich in terpenes, offering a complex bouquet that is both sweet and skunky. This strain smells of cookie dough and ripe banana, mixed with pungent notes of gasoline, burnt rubber, and skunk. Black Banana Cookies-dominant plants may be sweeter and fruitier, and Stardawg-dominant phenotypes may be more skunky. Flavor Black Ban
