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 Cherry Mandarin Kush

CMK is an F1 polyhybrid variety created by TopBoy in 2022 and can be cultivated indoors (where plants will need 56-70 days flowering time) and outdoors. Cherry Mandarin Kush was made in West Auckland, New Zealand by Top and is/was only available as regular seeds. Cherry Mandarin Kush is an F1 polyhybrid, producing both indica and sativa leaning phenotypes. Made by crossing TopBoy’s Cherry Afghani to TopBoy’s Taniwha Zkittles, essentially making this cross 25% Sweet Cherry Pie, 25% Mandarin Zkittles, and 50% Heirloom Afghani (pink hair). Cherry Mandarin Kush produces a large range of phenotypes all boasting large resinous flowers. Smells can range from cherry to mandarin, tropical, burnt rubber, and meat. Cherry Mandarin Kush is known for its large yields, resinous flowers, unique terp profile, and plant vigor. Cherry Mandarin Kush will leave you feeling an initial energetic high, followed by calming and relaxing sensations.
