Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Sativa 100%
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 Ciskei
CISKEI was one of the 10 "bantustans" (independent regions inside Sothafrican territory). It was declared independent from 1981-1994. Ciskei was, same as Transkei, one of the Xhosa language homelands during the years of apartheid politic in Southafrica. The little sativas were grown there in small plots of familiar use in the mountain region of Drakensberg, in an altitude around 1500-2000 mts. (4900-6500 feets) They were imported and selected by a Swiss co., that after making masive selections and works, ended up their activity in the 90´s because of the prohibicionist laws that we still have today. From this little jewel it was born the mythical Cloud#7,a Chiskei hybrid. The great work of selection done by this bank made that almoust all the plants got from seeds coming from them where hermaphrodite free and with a big stability. We where lucky, 15 years later,to get 40 seeds from this strain from a friend and cannabis merchant. We couldnt believe it! The surprise came when,with no much hope,we tried to germinate the seeds in 2004. We used gyberelic acid for this purpose,and we got 12 seeds that incredibly popped up, showing since the first moment a very good vigour. We continue w
