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 Cantava

Cantava: fast flowering and abundant resin Cantava is the meeting between the US and the Old Continent, the combination of two elite genetics, an old school one and another one recently developed in California. The result in a new line with an original character. On one side an old school line, an afghan Heirloom clone selected in Europe in the 90's. It is a very fast flowering variety (about 40-45 days), very resistant to pests and offering generous harvests. On the other side the clone Sangria #707 (Forbidden Fruit x Magnum Opus F11), which contributes an incredible organoleptic profile to the Afghan line. The result is Cantava, an Indica dominant variety. It is a plant with a compact structure that produces large and fleshy flowers. Aficionado French Connection recommends controlling the humidity level in the final flowering stage in order to prevent mildew from appearing on its large compact buds. Cantava has an 8 weeks flowering cycle cultivated indoors. It produces a fast and generous harvest with a yield of up to 650g per m2. In outdoor cultivation it benefits from dry climates, being ready to harvest at the end of September before the autumn rains. Aficionado French Connect
