Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

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 Maui
US-based breeder Snow has created a phenomenal strain with this, another cross between a Hawaiian variety and a fairly enigmatic strain from Skunk Magazine’s cultivation editor. Parent strain Maui Wowie is said to have been bred from some Mexican bud smuggled to the Pacific Islands, but these days it is used as breeding stock by many American companies. Back in 2009, Snow took a clone of Maui Wowie, thought to be from Eddy Lepp’s 1976 stock, and grew it to breed with The Rev’s Black Forest, which is itself a Maui Wowie-based hybrid, coming from Vietnam Black and Hawaiian Cherry Bomb. This double dose of Hawaiian genetics makes Black Maui more islander than Duke Kahanamoku himself. This strain has the enhanced vigor of a hybrid and is a very large plant when in its full glory. It has the tell-tale Christmas tree shape with tons of branches, each of which has a good amount of bud sites. Flowering time is somewhere between 11 and 14 weeks, depending on the plant and it’s conditions. For such a strong sativa-dominant strain, the buds are liberally coated with resin, making them quite a joy to harvest. The huge colas smell sweet and spicy with a mild hint of citrus, making it difficult
