Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Sativa 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 Congolese IX

The Black Congolese IX #2 is the Pure Black Congolese male which pollinated the #2 female which exhibits more the Pure Black Congolese expressions. The #2 female is Black Congolese x Congo Pointe Noire, the black congolese was sourced from the same person in South Africa and the Congo Pointe Noire cut which has been lost now, so I've heard. The Republic of Congo is the country where the city Pointe Noire is located on the Atlantic coast of South West Africa and where the congo river terminates in the the ocean. The Republic of Congo was formally called Zaire. The Black Congolese comes from Democratic Republic of Congo. Some red traits will come out in the phenotypes, red stems and petioles and various color ranges are possible. Yield: Large Plant Height: Tall
