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 Opium

Origin:Afghanistan / Brazil / Colombia Type:Indica / Sativa Flowering:60 - 70 days THC:〉28% Harvest:675 - 1000 g/m2 Height:155 - 195 cm Since Opium cannabis seeds entered the market, this strain has been extremely valued and sought-after due to its champion level potency, yielding and vitality. Black Opium is an exquisite modification that fully preserves the original fortes of this Brazilian-Afghani genotype! To create this sister variety, we crossed Opium with a psychedelic Colombian Sativa of dark violet coloring and a sweet grape scent. Through repeated back-crossings we accented the desirable qualities possessed by both parent varieties. The complex terpene combination of Opium responsible for its rich juniper odor is now complemented with berry hints. Dark blue and violet during the last weeks of flowering, Black Opium buds, indeed, are very close to black color when dried. Medical class strain with promoted analgesic and sedative properties. As recreational use, it can be regarded as a diamond-edition Opium for gourmets, veteran stoners and divers into the subconscious. Linalool, myrcene, pinene and caryophyllene are dominant terpenes in this 85% Indica heavy yielder. Growin
