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 Black Magic

Buckeye Purple x Cherry Sauce BuckeyePurple: A few years back @Large_bud of #Adromeda_Genetics was lucky enough to score a pack of the prized BuckeyePurple seeds as a gift from @eastcoasterdam & @melvanetics themselves. He had five seeds to choose from, three germinated and two died. One was a very slow growing, yet extremely potent with an Indica type high (“Very couch lock type medicine”.) Another was a pinkish colored plant with a mild, relaxing, yet alert medicinal effect. The 3rd result was the above picture. She is much like Mel has described in her descriptions of BuckeyePurple. A heavy Indica leaning plant with stalky stems and minimum stretch in flower. She is very potent, both alert, yet relaxing in effects. She expresses the best of earthy, with slightly skunky smells CherrySauce: Is a combination that @Large_bud of #Andromeda_Genetics created a while back, from a spectacular “from seed” keeper pheno of CherryPie. This CherryPie was then hit with the pollen from his specifically chosen male pheno of “TheSauce” from ExoticGenetix.” This stud was chosen because of his short stature, fast growing time, pungent smell and thick resin producing leaves, ( TheSauce = GorillaGlue
