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.

Overall: Last few packs of Your Highness were a complete success, so I decided to come back and give Chroma a shot. This Sherb backcross sounded so funky and juicy that I had to check it out. Here we go. As promised, the nose is strong and astringent. A hint of nutty rubber hits me before turning into metallic pencil shavings, a new one to add to the terp catalogue. Underneath, there’s a sour, almost tangy mint that is supported by brand new Sharpie marker. Volume rides around a 7.5 – legit. Nugs are decent, looks alright. Trim and manicure are acceptable, but there’s not a lot of sparkle here. It’s the girl/guy-next-door type of herb. Moderately attractive, but she’s not a beauty queen. That’s alright though, not everyone can be a winner in every department. But what this bud does do very well, is an exceptional aroma and
