Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

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 Botafumeiros

Botafumeiros® trademark by Sweet Seeds® Variety created from a predominately Sativa genetic selection, suitable for cultivation both indoors and outdoors. The long flowering period of this variety, about ten weeks, is widely offset by its rapid growth and high production. Mostly sativa plant with Haze and Asiatic ancestors. With long stems and branches, the plants grow very fast and with a lot of vigour. When planted directly on the ground in outdoor grows it can reach to more than 3 metres of height. The plants are also adapted to the requirements of indoor and SCROG grows. The aromas that follow these flowers are mostly spicy and scented, finding in some, a touch of anise. The effect of this variety is lively, stimulating and lucid. Plant suitable for cultivation in humid climates due to its resistance to fungal attack. Data Sheet Variety SWS12 Indica/Sativa: 25/75 % Indoor Yield: 400-600 g/m2 Outdoor Yield: 400-800 g/plant Indoor Blooming: 10 weeks Outdoor Harvest: mid to late October
