Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica 100%
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 California Indica
This seed comes from an outstanding strain of California Orange Bud crossed with a top-notch Afghani hash-plant, adding weight, speed and a deep hashy undertone to the deliciously citrus-scented mother. ‘Orange bud’ is sometimes used as a general term for any thick Indica with dense orange hairs, whether or not it has citrus taste and smell. Generic weed should never be confused with genuine California Orange Bud. True Orange strains have been grown outside in the near-perfect cannabis climate of America’s West Coast for many years. Since different lines have been propagated by seed for generations across an enormous area, OB comes in a wide range of fabulous phenotypes, from dominant Sativa to almost pure Indica, depending on the selections made by each cultivator. Profuse orange hairs are normal in every form of California Orange Bud and an irresistible sweet-sharp citrus flavour is the real distinguishing feature of this line. Sensi’s California Indica is bred from a massive, heavy-yielding Orange Bud mother whose mix of traits leans towards Sativa. The long blooming, open budding tendencies of the Californian have been controlled through breeding with the super-Afghani male use
