Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

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 Cheech Island

Cheech Island is the result of a cross between a mother of the famous and highly awarded Cheech Wizard & Chem Dawg (both from indabonga). It is a very vigorous, stable, medium-sized and very productive plant. He earned the nickname "flathead" for his peculiar phenotype. The terpenic range is very distant and pleasant, providing aromas of peat, wet leaves, anise, liquorice, eucalyptus, lemon, celery and a touch of incense on the nose. The effect is sedative but does not stick to the chair, perfect for day to day. Its flavor is incredible, so complex that you just have to taste it to understand it!
