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 Out

A very unique plant to come out of the Humboldt area was "The Black". Very little is currently known about it's exact genetic heritage. But, it is an extremely hardy, thick stemmed, easy to grow variety of likely Southern California "Bubba/Master/Pure Kush" related parent stock. It has thick leathery fans leaves and a main central dominant cola reminiscent of old school Afghanis. The odors on the Black Out range from mild incensey peppered hashplant to intense blackberry nag champa kush. A good beginner's plant with a low profile, quick flowering period, and hardy growth sure to please smokers of every palate.
