Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

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 Criptonite

We’re excited to announce our newest menu: Criptonite. Arguably the best menu we’ve created to date, our Criptonite crosses will raise the bar for all things OG. To make this strain, we took the Crippy and crossed it to the Donny Burger, making Sea Stars. We then made Crippy x Sea Stars and named it Crypto Currency. Finally, we carefully selected the best male pheno with our preferred genetic traits from the Crypto Currency and crossed it back to the Crippy, and just like that, Criptonite was born. The making of the Criptonite menu The Criptonite phenos we grew out showed impressive consistency with heavily variegated leaves, expressing true traits from the original Crippy mother plant. The terpene profiles were gassy with a hint of lemon-lime soda and Pinesol. Cripscriptions Crippy is a legendary strain loved by many, is one of 808 Genetics’ favorite strains of all-time, and is well known for its unique ability to relieve chronic pain as well as effectively treat opioid addiction and withdrawal. It is also used to help with cancer, insomnia, anxiety, appetite stimulation, and more. We will be releasing a Cripscription for this menu, which includes 14 packs of Criptonite crosses an
