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.

The ChemZulu is a cross of the 🇺🇸 Chemonade: “Chemonade by True Canna Genetics is a true elite strain from structure to smoke. Incredible side branching. Plants are so fragrent they begin to stink in veg. Resin coverage is so vast it creeps onto even the larger fan leaves. Aromas & flavors range from intense limeade/lemonade chem to the subtle cookie dough, popcorn, rubber & tropical fruit juice. “ 🇿🇦 With the landrace “South African Kwazulu”: “A 100% sativa strain that grows wild to the north of the Drakensberg ridge, it flowers early, has a sweet taste and a physical and energising effect. Grown by generations of Shaka Zulus, who were one of Africa’s most significant farmer warrior tribes, legend has it that this plant was used in the battle preparations prior to the first British attack in 1879 and that its long-lasting and galvanizing properties enabled the outnumbered and outgunned Zulu army to repel the enemy invaders. One of the most resistant strains to pests and m
