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 Buttercream Gelato
Buttercream Gelato is 60% indica and 40% sativa. Its genetics include Hindu Kush, a popular compact indica variety; Gelato, which is famed for its powerful high; and world-renowned sativa Durban. The plants are usually tall when fully grown, and have a flowering time of 55-75 days. They produce a woody, citrussy scent, with a hint of hash. The high is an intense body stone with a creative, euphoric lift. About Buttercream Gelato Feminized
This strain is 60% indica and 40% sativa. Its impressive parentage includes Durban, a world-famous sativa; Gelato, which is known for its intense high; and Hindu Kush, a celebrated producer of impressive yields. Gelato is a very special cultivar, and provides an exciting group of genetics for us to work with. Its parents are two top quality strains from the Girl Scout Cookies family tree.
