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.

Black Congolese IX x Heart of Darkness 100% Sativa Parsley & Exotic Tea Leaf Seeds sourced from Sticky Icky Naturals Preservation Project of the IX4 The original breeder in South Africa who sourced the seeded Congo Black only obtained a handful of seeds from the imported buds, packaged in a “Bankie”. He reported that it was very exotic. He thought most likely a “Bhangi” Congo or “red” variety. The Black Congolese male is from the seed stock as which was used to pollinate the Congo Pointe Noire cut. The #1 female uses the same Pure Black Congolese male which also pollinated the #2 female. The #1 female exhibits more of the Congo Pointe Noire traits but also a good mix of the Pure Black Congolese expressions, which according to A.H. are heavy hitters with potency and tend to grow quite small and compact with smaller tighter floral clusters with less branching compared to some South African Sativas. The #1 female is Congo Pointe Noire x Black Congolese, 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. Noir or noire meaning black. The Republic of Congo is the country where the city, Pointe Noire
