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.

The plants grow in difficult climatic conditions. Plants are grown in a tropical climate so a lot of rain and strong sun. People don’t follow particularly a month for sowing as there is a 12/12 photoperiod all year round. In the Republic of the Congo there are three seasons of rain so farmers just wait for the plants that look ready. Over a period of 5 years and a lot of weed sampling this is the best Congo Poi
