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 Chem Cat #3

A potent indica dominant cross between a Motorbreath15 female and Puffo Gelato male. This strain from Span Lion Genetics is not one to be taken lightly. With a quick onset sedating ‘Couch-lock’ effect complemented with a creamy sweet gas terpene profile, this strain has been favored by many consumers who have had the pleasure in indulging in her comatose nature. Although not the easiest to grow, a novice can expect medium-high yields with THC percentages varying from 27-32%. A flowering time of roughly 60-65 days is expected. Best to prune medium-high leaving main branches with minimal secondary and tertiary branches coupled with heavy node picking on each branch around day 21 flower. Water with a low EC feed. Sensitive to cold water temps in vegetative and flowering stage, but can be watered with cold temps towards the last 2 weeks of its cycle to induce anthocyanin purple pigmentation streaks across calyxes and sugar leaves. Although it can withstand high light intensities, she seems to express better in lower intensities producing richer terpenes and greater signs of vitality
